really low... civic wagon...

YOWZERS,  scrapping through smooth roads... 

Honda Lagreat

I found this Honda Lagreat ( Odyssey for us) to be pretty nice. Things are still poppin in Japan despite that earthquake. So without further ado, I thought I'd start off with this excellent looking van...

Custom bumpers utilizing some Honda and Toyota OE parts. Factory sides. Trafficstar wheels 20x9/20x10 +38 using a 20mm spacer in the rear. Oh, and those sidevents are from a Mercedes SL. very nice. HID projector retrofit and DIY LED setup for the tailights. very inspirational. Enjoy!

you never thought....

    We keep hearing yearly destruction from mother-nature, specially since the age of Internets that the news is almost instant.  It seems like it's getting worst every year. Never till this past few days that it cause concern for those that are close to me.  We try to keep our hopes high, and ALWAYS pray for the best of things.  Our condolences goes to those that lost their love ones.

Take Care... 

oh sweet...

i wonder how it sounds...

is this more bass or is there some sound quality...  and how loud can this go...  lol.. 

VW Microbus coming back?

YEAH, I'm on a euro cars binge lately...

Found this while surfing Kilometer Magazine, I always enjoy the VW Microbus specially what folks are doing with the few that are on the roads.
 
here is what Kilometer Magazine has to say,

In Germany, Bulli is the common nickname for the original Microbus and as you can see, this concept was obviously built in the same spirit. With two-tone paint, upright styling and loads of other retro touches, VW set out to create something with a nod to the past, but with the latest in technology and economy, with touches like a fully-iPad-driven infotainment system, an all-electric drivetrain capable of a 186-mile range, and our personal favorite sound system, one developed by Fender for Volkswagen.

We know what you're thinking - we've been down this road before and VW is teasing us once again. Well, maybe... Volkswagen Group of America CEO Jonathan Browning says this is something they would like to build and actually has far more potential for production since it could be based on existing transverse components available in North America. If it does get built, it would be positioned against the Mazda 5 and Ford C-Max, but obviously in a bit more emotional package. They will be watching feedback carefully, so let your opinion be known in the discussion forum link at the end of this article.

hope it does come to reality, would be interesting to see the Euro community do with this. Images from http://www.kilometermagazine.com

wow 5 gens...

looking through my photobucket account, I found I have ALOT of euro content.  This is sweet...

Don't know why, but i absolutely love the Jetta front end on the Golf...  this one is still my all time favorite.

CRAZY RANDOM....

but found this looking around in wheel-whores.com it's it's from the New England area crew called "Broke Status".  I think it's really creative and unique trophy.  From the sound of it too, it seems to have been a fun event. 

what was first, the Chicken or the Egg...

This was brought to me by a reader. 

We all drool over the idea of the Vellfire,  Alphard or the Elgrand.  The idea of these beautiful monsters had to start somewhere.  We really have to thank the American motor companies thinking about the family back in the 70s and 80s.  We see these on the road everyday, specially away from the roads with those that are my age or older, grew up watching the likes of A-team and  Scooby-Doo. 

Believe it not like all things, there are followings.  and the crew at Deez Crew are bringing the American full size vans to life in Japan.  Keeping the purpose of them along with bringing the modern day twist with fabric, up to date sound system, (not over blown, but simple and to the point.)


Here is one that they re-worked and is now sold. 

 Man this looks SO COMFY... 

So yeah, check them out, their site seems to be mainly flash so pulling pictures takes a few extra steps.  Deez Crew

REALLY old school...

this is just STRAIGHT GANGSTA...
