Taken by Khiem at this past All-Team Bash 4, this Fancy red Lexus LS was sitting pretty along with the other Refined Elegance folk. You can’t tell in the picture, but it was about 104 degrees outside, and when you add in the wind chill factor, it comes out to be about 112 degrees. Texas is hot, but still not hotter than the cars, so remember that. As usual, click on the photo below to get your fix for your overly enormous screens.
Oh you fancy, huh?

This post is a long time coming.
So a lot of people I meet at car events/meets/shows always say three things-
1. “Hey man, I love the photos/coverage/cars you guys put up!”
2. “Yeah, I always keep up with your blog and Facebook page!”
3. “What else do you guys do besides take photos and write posts?”
Three's company?
Work'ing hard or hardly Work'ing? Definitely the first.
Some people love shopping in malls, we prefer junkyards.
Need a lift?
If you know us personally, then you know what we’re into, and the kind of things we do, but a lot of you have been asking what exactly we do. Sure, we post random car pictures on Facebook, take photos of cars and meets/events, but like our tagline suggests- we are ricers first, bloggers second. So in an effort to show our followers what we’re into, we will be introducing another segment, The Mayday Life. The Mayday Life will be a random post about ONE day in our lives, and it could be about pretty much anything. But it’s always car related.
3rd Generation Corolla E30
E30? to euro chaps it’s a BMW 3 series, to jap junkies, it’s a Toyota corolla. The Corolla E30 was the third generation of Corollas that was build from 1974 to 81. This generation of corollas were released not only in Japan but also to the North American market.
fastback style was a popular design back then.
The Corolla was built to compete with Datsun and the sporty bluebird 510, 240Z, Honda cvcc and rotary Mazda RX7s. It was during the crucial time when american muscle was pushing for more horses, Japanese compacts tried to win Americans through fuel economy and still perform.
It seemed like it was yesterday since we last covered Coffee and Cars last month, which means this year is going by pretty quick. Here at Mayday Garage, we are currently planning big things this year, but unfortunately, we cannot release any details at the moment so keep checking back on our site or follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
Anyone who has been to Coffee and Cars knows to be at the venue by 7:30 AM if you want a decent parking spot in the front otherwise you’ll be parking in the back, like me. I planned to leave at 6:30 A.M. but I was too busy getting my E36 cleaned up. By the time I got there it was 7:45 AM and there was absolutely no parking in the front (FML). The temperature was around 85F and climbing at a fast rate of 5 deg per hour. That doesn’t sound bad but when you are out there, it gets pretty hot! Enough with the rant about the weather, because it will be like this for another 4 months… Texas! Fck yea!
These were snaps with my cleanly, fixed Canon 5Dmk1 back from Canon.
NSX's stick together.
Corvette ZR1... I would love to test drive one of these someday.
Would this be considered a Rat Rod?
I guess she likes Martini's....
As much as I love Japanese ingenuity, appreciate German engineering and Italian styling, I have a special place for American Hotrods. Today’s Nostalgic Wednesday is about Mr. Dean Moon.
Dean Moon
Who is Dean Moon? Dean Moon was a ” gear head” from Santa Fe Springs California who started at a young age building his first race car behind his dad’s cafe.
Four years ago one man had an idea. An idea that translated into the single largest car meet that Houston now sees on a yearly basis.
Kimo, head honcho for SunWorks, a local Houston area car club that now has spanned over the nation through different chapters, brainstormed an idea that would unite Houston area car clubs for one event. Instead of competing with each other to see who had the best rides, he envisioned that clubs would get together and get to know one another, and instead compete for who had the best barbecue. The meet was christened, “All Team Bash”.
Holy Jeebus
G's up, Ho's down
Dem Asses
You KNOW they're hot.
