Random Snap: Swang ‘N’ Bang Beer Holder.
If you guys don't already know, there is a group of hardcore fitment kings named Swang 'N' Bang. If you are ever in Texas, and you see a group of super slammed, tucked, stretched and poking cars, you can bet your sweet ass it's Swang 'N' Bang. I was on their blog site, and this picture just made me chuckle.

Event Coverage: NST 5th Anniversary Drift Competition & Car Show Part 2.
They say a picture says a thousand words, and if that's true, we have a ton of things to say in this second installment of our coverage of the Drift and Show competition held at Gulf Greyhound Park in LaMarque, TX.
Who's got dat ass covered?? MAYDAYGARAGE!
Let's get to it.
Event Coverage: N.S.T. 5th Anniversary Drift Competition & Car Show Part 1.
This past sunday, the good folks over at NonStopTuning, a.k.a. NST, celebrated their illustrious 5 year anniversary in La Marque, TX with over one thousand close friends and family! While some businesses celebrate with cheaply made cake and cheesy party hats, NST took it a few steps further by holding a drift competition and car show held at Gulf Greyhound Park just south of Houston. Despite the bitter forty degree weather, that didn't seem to stop the hundreds of spectators from (as JohnP so eloquently put it) getting their drift fix. Luckily, there wasn't any disappointment from the drifters as they put on their multiple layers of clothing and kept their heads warm in their helmets.

Event Coverage: N.S.T. 5 year anniversary drift event! pt. 0 a preview.
This past Sunday MaydayGarage was out kicking it with our local Texas drifters for the Non Stop Tuning 5 year anniversary drift event. Mike, owner and founder of N.S.T. and local drift icon Aaron Losey from Fabricated Motorsports put on the drift competition and car show. 40 degrees and a slight wind chill was the welcoming weather for a pretty chilly exhibition of drift as we all literally froze our butts off. But hot as hell or cold as hell, we always find ourselves weathering it out to get our sideways fix.

OTWeb: It’s here, Ken Block’s new ride. 2010 Team Ford Fiesta!
Well it is no secret now that Ken Block and his DC media powerhouse have now teamed up with Ford for the up and coming Rally season due to Subaru's recent withdrawl from WRC. I am a bit partial to Subaru so it will take a bit to get adjusted to, but man, this Fiesta looks pretty bad ass, and I am digging that Monster drip scheme..check it!

A Bavarian Affair: Greg Strube’s BMW E30 M3
On a Sunday morning, it takes A LOT to get me out of the comforts of my bed because the chances are likely that the Saturday night festivities require a degree of recuperation. But this Sunday was different, as my morning was about to start off with the company of Mr. Greg Strube and his immaculate BMW E30 M3. Original parts and sexy lines made this M3 all business and a Bimmer Lover’s wet dream.
Straight cut goodness

OTWeb: Top Gear test drives the Lexus LF-A.
I know i'm a few weeks late on this post, but I was at work today and watched this video on my iPhone, and was completely blown away at the comic book-style aspects of the video. I have always loved the video editing in the Top Gear videos, but this one is just a tad different. It definitely left a huge smile on my face.
Love the alien spaceship!!
Please watch!

OTWeb: Rocky Auto Fairlady Z from TAS 2010
Although I can appreciate a very super cleanly executed Vintage S30 Z such as Van's 73' 240Z, I have a very strong passion for new school flavor on old school JDM rides.
As I read through Ben Schaffer's The Real JDM blog to see what perspectives he had on this year's Tokyo Auto Salon, he featured a very gnarly S31 Datsun Z that embodies all of the new school traits of the JDM tuning scene mixed with the classic styling of the original Japanese muscle cars.
