A while back, I attended the world’s biggest one-day charity car show, Cruisin For A Cure, in Costa Mesa, CA. It was a great way to get the word out on the prevention of Prostate Cancer. While mandatory digital rectal exams (aka: finger up-the-buttin layman’s terms… they don’t have an app for that) were not part of the admission, the chance to view hundreds of classic, customized vehicles were. This was my first time attending this show and I’ve got to say, it was THE largest car show I’ve attended. Many cars caught my attention and, as I was leaving, I spotted this 1937 Ford Truck owned by Tom and Linda Chorbagian. So I hurriedly grabbed my strobes in the trunk and took a few shots during the festivities.

Its rat-rod look reminded me of a Japanese aesthetic called Wabi-Sabi (no, not the green stuff complementing your sushi). Essentially, from an artistic point-of-view, wabi-sabi is defined as flawed beauty. It refers to beauty as a result of age, wear and tear and any anomalies which add uniqueness. It’s a growing trend in rat-rodding and it seeks beauty in the simple and imperfect. Tom’s truck is a good example of the embodiment of this principle and has that perfect combination of burned paint, rust, and look acquired from age and weather – it’s hardly an eyesore.

SEMA is a trade show which exists solely so that people can impress other people. Be it with their booth set ups, car builds or flashy after parties, SEMA is always dressed to impress. Though not everyone will be able to –especially with the hundreds of cars on display. So to have a show stopping car, it either must’ve had pixey dust sprinkled on it or be built by some truly inspired and insane people.

It’s always a pleasure receiving complimenting messages and emails from our Japanese fans. Our friend (owner of this ride) Matuun is a huge fan of the “USDM” stance scene and when he emailed us a few photos that he recently took of his beautiful S2000 we we’re truly in love! No way you would know or even assume that these photos were taken in the middle of Japan (besides the rear plate), and that to us is pretty cool. Without further adieu, check out the photos of this sexy drop top!

Graeme’s Holden HZ Ute is a great example of attention to detail without going overboard featuring a detailed under-carriage.

Good for 10-second quarter mile passes, Rabih’s Nissan is one quick street 4-cylinder. More…

Rob’s Holden Torana LX hatchback is a genuine street driven cruiser. Currently powered by a 355 Holden stroker V8 good for 11-seconds over the quarter mile, things are about to change in a big way with a much smaller capacity turbocharged engine about to be slotted into the bay….MORE

Chris’ Ute is a great street application built on somewhat of a budget. The stock internal 5.7L has over 170,000kms on the clock but thanks to IMS a low pressure turbo kit helps crank out over 370kW to the rear wheels…MORE

Flashy color schemes may look “hot” for a minute, but a simple and clean look will never go out of style. Take Evans ’98 Kouki for example. One owner, original paint, mint condition all around, just an incredible ride if you ask us. Evan wanted something that not a lot of people really had, yet still stay with the “OEM” look.

Lee’s clean looking Ford XD Falcon is good for easy 10-second passes thanks to a turbocharged version of the original OHV 250 cross-flow six.
