Cruising is something that gives us a sense of community, of belonging. It’s a tradition that ties the young, the old, and everyone inbetween together for a common interest. And if the amount of funds raised for charity by car shows and car clubs is any indication of our true intentions, our common interest is [...]
The Acura NSX was a hell of a car; an amazing work of automotive genius that made the world sit up and take notice of the great things that Honda could produce. Going up against the legendary Corvette, it became a serious contender in the hearts and minds of a certain type of car guy. [...]
This one is for all the parents out there: “Schnoodles,” a painting inspired by his son’s first year of life, shows a little bat baby sucking the life out of his parents (shown here as a bottle of blood). Morbid, yes, but any parent with a newborn kid knows what he’s talking about here. And [...]
“Close Up The Honky Tonks” is one of the cooler images we found from Jasun “Bat Daddy” Huerta’s collection-and not just because of the raging cowgirl in pig tails. This particular piece was, we believe, originally drawn on a post-it note, just one of many that he’s done. Check out the entire series on his [...]
Here’s more from our Artist of the Week, Jason “Bat Daddy” Huertas. We mentioned the influence that his bat fetish has had on his work, which you can clearly see in “Free Tailed,” the artwork above. Want more? Come back tomorrow!
Yesterday, we introduced you to Jason “Bat Daddy” Huerta. And we teased you with just one of his pictures. That was really mean of us, to get you all excited about his work and only show you one image. Yeah, we’re jerks. To make up for it, here’s one more picture-but only one. You’ll have [...]
Hot rodding isn’t just about the cars-if it was, we wouldn’t have so many interesting people among us. In fact, the great part about being a part of the cruising ‘scene is the fact that we’re a culture first, and the cars really do come second. Of course, a culture is nothing without art, and [...]
This year’s Cruz-In Downtown car show is coming up soon-August 7th, to be exact. It’s one of the highest-profile events of the summer, with a huge chunk of Winnipeg’s downtown closed off for it. There’s lots to do and see, from live bands to the infamous burnout competition. To find out more, contact John or [...]
Earlier today, Jalopnik featured the recent review of the 2010 Camaro SS on Top Gear. It went something like this: Did you watch it to the end? I didn’t. Most true car fanatics wouldn’t, either. It’s almost as if someone brought the Mercedes on-set to piss off Chevrolet, or to make American cars look bad, [...]
We all know the (partially undeserved) reputation that the tuner community has for “quality,” what with the number of spray-bombed black hoods and plastic spinnah’ hubcaps out there. What I’d like to know is, what will their ‘scene look like if the rat rod influence takes hold? One guy couldn’t wait to find out: Thanks [...]
