Mark My Words Bagged Jetta Photography by Chris Cruz Here is a car that we basically stumbled upon. It is one of those clean cars that can sometimes be overlooked, but once you notice it, you don’t stop looking. The owner works at a local Hyundai dealership, buried in a sea of Korean engineering, this little German hides very modestly. That is of course until we spotted it.   She was not so shy once in front of the camera. It was then that we really were able to appreciate the smooth lines, air suspension and great fitment of this car. Take a skim through the mod list and you’ll soon see that there is more than meets the...

Formula Drift Atlanta | Day 1 Round 2 – Road to the Championship Photography by Emil Garcia As most racing events go, each track in a series offers new challenges and new opportunities. After an exciting Round 1 at Long Beach, Formula Drift continued their series into Atlanta. Road Atlanta has been on the FD schedule close to a decade and proves to be one of my top three tracks for FD. Day 1 starts with practice, shake downs, and some tuning. The guys fought it out to see who takes the Top 32 into competition day and the qualifying round becomes a battlefield. Some of our hometown drivers did not make the cut this round, surprising...

While in junior high school Shane got his hands on the finishing end of a street rod due to his father being incapacitated. Although he may do this work alone, inspiration is also...

Blue Ribbon Z Nessen Forged Nissan Photography by Mick Harris Mick Harris has done a great job of building quite the impressive Nissan Z with a very long list of modifications. Normlly wild kitted cars don’t wet my whislte and tend to get overdone, however Mick has found a fantastic balance in agressive styling and clean well put together parts. Everything on the car flows nicley to create a car that looks, drives and sounds amazing. Take a moment and read through the long list of mods and you gain a much higher appreciation for this build. Keep an eye out as this car is getting some serious attention. Already published in...
