For me what really makes cars of all vintages interesting is the details. Older vintages seem to have elements that pull me in, I can’t speak to why, but there’s something about certain awful plastic or even bakelite knobs, buttons, dials and gauges that is incredibly tactile… The details of these cars evoke so much [...]

A worthwhile hiatus…
July 18, 2011 – 11:35 PM
It’s been more than a while since I’ve made any postings on here, and the site has fallen into a bit of disarray. However, now that I’m picking up my camera a bit again I’ll need somewhere to share what spews forth from it, so… we’re back to regularly scheduled programming! In the meanwhile my [...]
CSCS: Round 2 2011
July 18, 2011 – 11:23 PM
Since it’s been a while since I posted, why not start off with an event I’ve missed the last couple of due to prior arrangements. As an event CSCS is always put on with a great amount of effort and support by sponsors and organizers. However from the perspective of entrant cars, there wasn’t a [...]
EVENT: CSCS Extreme Tuner Challenge
August 25, 2010 – 7:46 PM
Aaaaaaand we’re back. After a hiatus to refocus and re-energize I’ve decided to take NotSoStock on again but this time keep it as my own site and just let it live organically rather than try force it to be this or that. With that said, I decided to re-cut my teeth at this past weekend’s [...]
EVENT: Stretch & Poke 2 – “HardParked”
June 9, 2010 – 10:38 PM
Well, the last one was a bit of a trial run, lets call it. That first event was such as success however, with over 120 cars showing up, that we decided to give it another go-round! David has teamed up with JDMEGO (if you don’t know, you don’t know) and we’re going to try make [...]
FEATURED: Jay’s Tuck’n Rolled M3 Vert
May 26, 2010 – 12:58 AM
Well it’s been a little while since I posted up, and that’s because I’ve been busy shooting some new rides. Fear not. I’d never let a social life get in the way. I ran into Jay’s stunning black M3 convertible at a meet earlier this spring and knew right away I had to shoot this [...]
Time To Make Good Use Of That Printer At Work
May 19, 2010 – 9:00 AM
Look, your work probably wastes tonnes of money and paper every year printing off TPS reports or some other banal crap anyways, you might as well blend in some stuff that’s really going to make worthwhile use of all those trees. Check out some of these ridiculously cool papercraft cars made by people with a [...]
NETSCIVATING: Aston Martin Gauntlet Concept
May 19, 2010 – 8:18 AM
Car freak/designer Ugur Sahin has become known in the last little while for taking stabs into the murky future of automakers. He’s different though from most people out there who do this as a.) he understands the design language of the marques he fiddles with b.) he clearly has the technical skills to bring to [...]
