This Article Was Originally Published On Speedhunters July tenth 2017 On the sight of flares, CCW wheels and a giant wing, a few of you’re likely already in your way right down to the comment box to bemoan about lack of originality. But stop, I implore you. Move your cursor away from that close button too. Myself, and certain the builder/owner of this Miata will admit that yes, at face value this automobile starts down a well travelled road. Nonetheless, just a couple of steps toward the tip goal it diverges from the trail of many and begins down the…
A Theme Tuesday post in 2026? I do know, weird, right? Nevertheless, as I discussed in my previous post, plenty of my Motorama 2025 content got lost within the vortex of a sinking (now sunk) ship. With this 12 months’s event just across the corner, I’ve decided to liberate lots of these photos. Consider this post as a multi-part version of the event preview posts I used to do way back in 2010/2012. Now I’m humbly aware that I’m known for 3 photo types: straight-on engine bay shots, rear three-quarter shots and profile shots. Unimaginative? Perhaps, but I feel those…
Coming up on ten years ago, I purchased Project Why Wait, my 1951 GMC pickup, as a private challenge to myself. On paper, it sounded easy enough. In point of fact, I used to be asking a much larger query: Could I, with my assorted — and largely untested — automotive knowledge, actually construct a vehicle from the bottom up? Initially, the construct was documented here on Stance Is Every part (later earning it the SIE GMC moniker), before I branched out to just a few forums and eventually Speedhunters for some global exposure. What began as a private experiment…
Every automotive scene has its originals — the day ones who’ve seen all of it and done all of it, yet remain humble all the identical. In Ontario, Geoff Mayes is undeniably considered one of those individuals. He’s been an integral and revered a part of the Ontario automotive community for many years. Geoff wouldn’t self-proclaim his OG status, but he’s at most events, all the time willing to assist out one other enthusiast and has grow to be an irreplicable a part of Vanfest, considered one of Canada’s largest minitruck events. While he recently picked up an air-cooled Beetle…
Do you remember the primary time you became aware of approval-based outdoor automobile shows? I do. For me it was 2011, when Canibeat — yeah, that’s a throwback — revealed the format for the inaugural First Class Fitment. I actually have to confess, after I first heard they were taking submissions and turning people away, I didn’t prefer it. Automotive shows, especially outdoor ones, were historically for everybody and at all times must be, right? Well… not exactly. In 2026, I’m self-aware enough to understand my younger self, while well-meaning, was greater than somewhat stubborn. Or at the very least…
It’s been two years, 32 months, 975 days, nearly 25-thousand hours — or just far too long — since I’ve written anything for Stance Is Every part. Considering how often I used to create on this space, admitting it’s been so long feels greater than a bit of embarrassing. If there’s any saving grace available, it’s that in that point I never dropped my digital pen or stopped going to events. My passion for automotive culture continues to be here, and as healthy as ever. While gone, I lent my literary and photography talents — together with countless popular culture…
You already know a vehicle is wild when it compels me to put in writing a WTF Friday post in spite of everything this time. But when a mythical legend like this 6-wheeled (or tandem in case you prefer) Civic is accomplished. I even have to jot at the least just a few words down. When you’ve been cars on the web since, oh, about 2008 or so that you’ve seen the photo above before. A wild Civic EF with an EK front end, and an additional set of wheels behind the factory rear pair. This automobile could have easily…
