CAR OF THE MONTH
|
 |
Evolution X GSR
ARC. JUN. HKS. Advan. Defi. Works Bell. Varis. These are all brands that resonate extremely well in the JDM-enthusiast community simply because they are high-quality, expensive, and hard to get. So what happens when a car has all of these parts and more? Meet Anh Vu... |

500+ AWHP Trailblazer
Whew! It looks like we're on a bit of a Chevy streak lately. But we can't help it because Michael King's Trailblazer SS is simply too amazing for us to pass up. We'll tell you one thing for starters: it makes over 500+ All-wheel Horsepower...yeah. Exactly. |

1956 Chevrolet Bel Air

 |
1968 Shelby GT500E
There are many Ford Mustangs out there, but few were taken off the assembly line and built exclusively by Carroll Shelby. In that regard, even fewer were worthy enough to be given the GT500E name. Meet "Helleanor" a modern day continuation of the legendary unicorn... |

Blurple E92 Coupe
What word describes a guy who buys a brand new BMW as a daily driver in order to avoid having a car that he will spend money on. But then ends up building that same BMW into an incredible show car that he now drives only on the weekends? "Blurple." You heard right. Read on. |

Wraptivo Honda CR-Z
Honda's theme for this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas was noticeably green, a concept that has certainly gained traction worldwide. But at the same time Honda also wanted to remind everyone of its heritage in manufacturing cars that are fun to drive. Hello Wraptivo CR-Z... |

1,032 RWHP C6 Corvette

GST Motorsports Impreza

Mini Cooper
Remember the 2003 remake of The Italian Job? The scene with the modern-day BMW Mini Coopers blasting around downtown LA? Badass right? Well as much as we loved seeing those cars, we also know to appreciate a classic Mini Cooper when we see one. Meet the original... |

Nissan 240SX
Guys would agree that there's nothing better than a girl who loves cars. So what do you say when Karen Chang takes her Nissan 240SX and transforms it into something capable of winning Best Engineering car show awards AND Pro-Am Drifting events. Speechless? We are too. |
|
|
 |
DeTomaso Pantera
Of all the great things that the Italians have contributed to the world, among them: art, food, and leather goods, we would have to say that the exotic automobile would have to rank at the very top. Legendary companies such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, and DeTomaso... |

Lexus GS400
The trend for Lexus owners these days is definitely VIP. Large wheels. Aggressive offset. Hard to find JDM VIP parts. Custom one-off anything and everything. It's with these factors in mind that we've come to feature Glen Cortez and his Lexus GS400 of 10 years... |
|
|
 |
Noble M400
There's something crazy about buying a $90,000 car and then spending over $50,000 worth of performance upgrades on it alone. It's sheer insanity really. Which is exactly what owner Shareef Khan has done to his Noble M400 with a little help from the guys over at Turbo Hoses... |

Daily driven Toyota Supra
What was originally intended to be a more comfortable car than a Subaru Impreza STI turned into a monstrous Supra that owner Peter Enright chooses to simply use for commuting to and from work. 750+ WHP. Widebody with 19x12.5 wheels in the rear. Enough said. |
