Because Racekor The Legend Behind the Racekor Photography by Steven Martinez There are cars and then there are cars. What I mean, simply put is that there are cars that you see on the road and say; “Oh cool.” Then there are cars that you see and the image is branded into your memory banks with a glowing red prod that says WTF! Flat black, sitting on flat black CCW Classics, staring at you with big bug eyes, just waiting for you to dare it to do something… This is that prod wielding car; a car that defies all tuning styles and themes to truly transcend the aura of a driver… a driver known simply as Manny. Manny Collazo, one...

Uzi Firing Squad  lower|wider ™ Styled Cabrio Photography by Jared Houston When one thinks about a Cabrio, they think top down, great weather, wind blowing through your hair and tunes jamming. Fuck that Ken & Barbie bullshit, this is the Uzi Edition Cabrio; and I don’t mean Modern Warfare styling. I’m talking slammed, tucking, poking, shining, and looking badass and clean styling. Brian Cook, known to most as “Uzi”, built this 1998 VW Cabrio with the lower|wider™ mentality. This of course is not his first rodeo. He has built an MKIV, two MKIIs and an MKIII. When it came to this Cabrio, he noticed that not many people where...

Photos by Tony Mo Photography Simply Clean has to be one of my top 3 favorite events in Florida. The, location, the people behind it, the attendees, the cars… all great and when rolled into one place, all make for an amazing event. It truly is one of those events that I feel will become an annual tradition. Here are some more pics from the event.

Photos by: Austin Carmody The 3rd annual Simply Clean event took place this past weekend at Route46. Route46 has played host to a basket of automotive events, but none like Simply Clean. As the sun started to crack over the Florida sky, Nik and his staff where already hard at work to ensure that this 3rd annual event was more organized and more streamlined than last year. From everything I heard, his plan was a success. The event saw a numerous attendance and large support from the automotive community, manufactures and vendors such as Titan Motorsports, CCW, Discount Tire Co., “WE”, State of Stance, ILDS, SSP Vinyl, HighwayStar...

  It’s been about almost 2 weeks since the Summer Meat Meet and everything is starting to sink in. It was amazing to see so many people and cars turn out for the pure passion and love of cars. We here at State of Stance as well as our good friends at Hard Parked feel blessed to have such a strong following and fan base. It really shows the rest of the world that Florida (esp. South FL) is a huge part of the automotive community. We didn’t take an official count as we don’t really care about that kind of thing, what we focused on was to achieve a laid back, fun environment for people to enjoy other’s build, share...
