Quick Post: Re:Vision Holiday Car Meet.

So on my quest to find cool cars and meets here in the state of Maryland, my newfound friend Danny Rodman (the guy with the really awesome MX83 Cressida from 100 drifters of December), told me of a meet this past Friday in Rockville, MD, just a little outside of Washington D.C. Although I got there a tad late, there was still a small group of cars outside of this shop despite the frigid weather.
Variety was the thing to take from this meet as the cars ranged from Domestics, to VIP rides, to drift cars, to even high end exotics and electric cars, there was something for everyone.

I saw a small handful of cool cars but I couldn’t take many pictures of them because they were outside in the darkest of parking lots. I was hoping there’d be a little smidgen of light outside, but alas, I wasn’t so lucky. I did manage to take a few photos, but I won’t go into detail about this meet. I’m praying that car meets in Maryland aren’t in pitch black conditions like this one, cause it’s really hard to convey what goes on when you can’t even see your own hands!

Four door luxury car or two door sports car?

Pretty rare first gen All Trac with a weird looking second gen RC hood

You'd think I was at a brothel with how pink these lights were.

Inside the actual shop, people kept warm and checked out some local rides.

A very tidy S13 SR motor resides in this Sil-Eighty.

**insert GoldMember reference**

This S13 was very clean both in and out.

Seems kinda odd to see a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale next to a bunch of imports.

GTR FTW?

Till next time!

Nostalgic Wednesdays: Datsun G-Nose Z

a cutaway by Shin Yoshikawa

I know, I know Mayday Garage have been covering and posting a lot of Z’s here in our blog and in our Facebook; what can we say? we love the Datsun Z long time! Nowadays, finding a clean factory Datsun 240z would be considered a rare collectible. What makes the hunt more exiting for Z hunters is finding an original 240ZG in mint condition. Today’s Nostalgic Wednesday, we reminisce the Z that was never imported to the US market; The 240ZG.

Introduced in 1971, the S30 chasis had 2 variants, the regular 240z (sold both in Japan and in the US) and the 240Z-G (only in Japan). What’s the difference? The ZG compared to the marketed Z has the wider riveted over-fenders, fender mounted side-view mirrors, rear spoiler,acrylic glass headlight covers, and of course, the signature fiberglass extended G-nose front.

OTWeb Video: Canon vs. Nikon.

Cats vs. Dogs, Ford vs. Chevy, Subaru vs. Mitsubishi, Mac vs. PC, Redskins vs. Cowboys. It seems everyone is divided when it comes to choosing a side in many debates. Another debate that seems to get a lot of “exposure” (like what I did there?) is the eternal Canon vs. Nikon war. War seems like a fitting description. Enjoy the video.

It’s a great thing that here at Mayday Garage, we don’t discriminate. We use both camera systems. We are extremely open to different types of cameras and also cars. Maybe that’s why we get along so well?

Event Coverage: 100 Drifters of December.

What a better way to start off my recent move to Maryland than a big grassroots drift event? Drift Nirvana’s yearly 100 drifters of December is exactly what it sounds like, to assemble 100+ drifters and invade every inch of Summit Point Motorsports park, a huge track nestled in a small town in West Virginia. What makes this event unique isn’t just the sheer amount of local and semi-pro drifters sliding around, but rather how they give drifters a choice on which track they’d like to drift. Yes. Multiple tracks all at once, kind of like how they do it at Ebisu in Japan.

S14's zooming by was a normal occurrence.

This S14 seems reaaaaal familiar...
