Dukes of Hazzard: Real Life Edition in Dallas, Texas

Remember watching General Lee in Dukes of Hazzard on television when you were a kid?

The Legendary 01

The Legendary 01

Remember those bad ass super jumps when the General was running away from the Sheriff?

Super Jump!

Super Jump!

Well, this lady is took things a bit more seriously. She literally jumps a toll booth at the Dallas International Airport and survives to tell the tale. Probably because she was drunk. Who knows, but damn this is funny.

A Nostalgic Wednesday: The Veilside Supra

Hailing from the Golden Era of Japanese tuning, the Veilside Supra. Many of the readers out there might find this thing unattractive, too “Ricey”, and well…dated. As for the others like myself, we might have gotten one of our first ricer broners gazing at this beast.

Damn right that's functional!

Oh, and by the way…what the hell happened to “these” Supra drivers?

Evo Man Jackie Chan, Who am I?

This past weekend The Mayday Crew ventured around town causing our usual ruckus and ended up at Hong Kong Mall. Hong Kong mall basically resides in Houston’s Chinatown and has quite possibly the most fobtastic media you can buy. While I was in the movie store looking for my HK film fix, I came across one of the classic Jackie Chan movies from the 90’s, “Who am I”. Most people don’t remember this movie for its Oscar level storyline and acting, but more for it’s awesome car chase scene with Jackie Chan driving a Mitsubishi Evo IV between two hotties and then one of them taking over, heel toe and all. Check it!

Like White On Rice: Steve Nuss’ 97′ MKIV Toyota Supra.

Rice is a word me and JohnP like to use a lot here at MaydayGarage. But not like the way you’re thinking, not in the derogatory sense. You see, we are self proclaimed ricers, we like body kits, we like big wheels and we like crazy big spoilers. Most people think when modifying a car, it’s either RICE or NICE, but why can’t it be both?

Believe it or not, those "sun flares" are not photoshopped!

Over the last few years, having these things on your car meant that you were subject to be called a ricer, which usually isn’t a good thing.

If liking body kits, wings, and oversized rims and tires makes you a ricer, then fuck it, i’m a ricer because I love these things.

Event Coverage: The NSX Craze 2010 Track Day

The past weekend we ventured out to Grand Sport Speedway to catch up with a couple of buddies and cast our fanboy eyes on a few NSX’s running around the track.  Ever since the 90’s the NSX has been the ultimate ricer mobile.  A timeless chassis, sexy lines, and nimble drive make this queen a ricer’s catch of a lifetime.  So, with that being said, when we caught word that NSX Prime’s Southern Chapter was hosting an all NSX event at GSS in Hitchcock Texas, we were on it, like a chubby kid on ice cream.
