VIP Royalty Apr30

VIP Royalty

This entire royal wedding buzz has me going crazy. Royalty this, royalty that, but what is royalty if you are not rolling around in true VIP fashion? This stunning build by Nax Whitmore is the answer. This is VIP! This is royalty! This is how I’d roll if the world was looking at me.   We arrived at the shoot and set up, then Nax told me he was going to air down the car. I was like what? I though he was already aired out… Then he procedded to say, “but just a little cause my lip touches the floor if I go all the way down…” SIK! No stone has been unturned on this most gorgeous peice of art. From 20×10...

An Era Ending Apr29

An Era Ending

  Its sad to say but our culture, due to outside factors, is slowing shrinking. A while back ago news of Signal Auto USA closing its doors and heading back to Japan weighed heavy on my heart. I am thankful that I was able to acquire some Signal Auto pieces for my build and will hold on to...

Flying Friday

Just an amazing spot put together by the guys at MB and I thought I’d share. This is what happens when you take MB engineers, an SLS, Michael Schumacher and some of the most amazing tunnels in British Columbia. Have a great weekend, from all of us at State of...

RPM Miami

RPM Miami – Que pasa USA meets 2F2F It seems as if the idea factory has been closed for some time now. So in the effort to continue to churn out recycled garbage, soap opera giant Telemundo has begun a bilingual series on their youth market sister channel Mun2.   Ok, so you say...

FormulaD – Rou...

I would have never imagined my first trip to California would be this insane! It started off on the right foot with Formula D Round 1 – Streets of Long Beach. But when the smoke cleared and all the cars were stowed away in their trailers I decided to spend a couple days in Los Angeles...

The Blues Never Looked So Good Apr12

The Blues Never Looked So Good

My coverage of Jorge Alvarez’s  Honda Accord during the v2Lab’s Big Meat did no justice to his build. What you see here is carefully thought out masterpiece.  Courtesy of a Megan coilover set up, the set of Vossen CV2’s, which are a crazy 20×10.5 all the way around, fit just right. Some of you may be asking: How does Jorge handle  the streets of Miami, on a 245/30 tire set up? Riding static with  tuck&poke. I asked him the same thing and his answer came at a time where we are pulling into a steep driveway…    …All I heard was the sound of scrapping metal.”Welcome to my world” Jorge...

Ferrari + ADV.1 = WI...

With our recent articles on Ferraris, I felt it was only right for me to post some shots I have been holding out on. Very rarely do you get access to a private airplane hanger. Even more rare is a Ferrari California like this one. Only in Miami, and for that we thank you ADV.1 Wheels: ADV5.0...

DAFT PUNK Auctions Ferrari for Japan

My favorite artists, DAFT PUNK, are in the StateofSTANCE headlines again! They are auctioning off the 1987 Ferrari 412 shown at the start of the 2007 movie Daft Punk’s Electroma. The car is in mint condition, still wears the HUMAN license plate as seen in the movie, and has been signed by DAFT PUNK members Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter.
