What Did You Do This Weekend?

By Ryan Porter

While Rob and the rest of the CarDomain staff were moving offices this weekend, I shot down to Los Angeles for the smart Center Beverly Hills one year anniversary.  The event was a blast and there were about 90 or so cars.  We drove some of the best roads in SoCal and ended the event at the Petersen Museum with a short banquet and raffle–more pics below the jump!

What's Up With These Winter Cars?

By Ryan Porter

IN-N-OUT Editor

Growing up in Washington, it’s not uncommon for a car enthusiast to have a winter car–but I’m beginning to see an unsettling trend. It started with the dirty GT-R that Weston spotted here in Seattle. Next was the winter-rat GT-R spotted in Massachusetts.  Well, this Seattlelite has stepped up his game in a major way: how about a Ferrari F430 Scuderia!

My Night With The 300C SRT-8

By Ryan Porter

IN-N-OUT Editor

I’m used to ignoring 300Cs when I see them at the stoplight and in every parking lot, but after Chrysler tossed us the keys to their 300c SRT-8 I now find myself scoping every 300C out there.

Like always Rob was nice enough to set me up on a date date with the press car, and I was lucky enough to keep her overnight. Overall I was incredibly impressed with this machine, and when it came down to writing about her, I couldn’t come up with one thing to right about so instead, here is pictorial. More pics after the jump!

Quick Spin in the Lancer GTS

By Ryan Porter

IN-N-OUT Editor

Yesterday Rob handed over the keys to the Mitsubishi Lancer GTS and said, “You’ve got 15 minutes go drive it.”  With the small allotment of time, I was pretty much pinned to the South Lake Union area, so I figured I would hit my normal chicane up to 99, blast across the bridge and dip back through Fremont.

Check out my quick review after the jump, and here is a pic of me getting slideways… jk the car is front wheel drive!

By Ryan Porter

IN-N-OUT Editor

You may have noticed that we changed the way we display ride page images last week. Several members have asked us some great questions, so I thought I would bring them up for everyone here.  Check out the QA I’ve created after the jump.

Change Your Wallpaper at CarDomain and Everyone Goes Crazy

By Ryan Porter

IN-N-OUT Editor

I thought it was time for a new desktop wallpaper so I decided to toss up the Weismann GT. I found the car by surfing a wallpaper site a while back and it was one of those cars that makes you immediately right click and Save As. Anyways the second I swapped it out both Rob and Weston started going crazy. So tell, do you love it or hate it?

The Right Fit

By Ryan Porter

IN-N-OUT Editor

Before I picked up the smart I was very interested in the Honda Fit and I had to spend a lot of time convincing myself to hold out for the fortwo. As you know I stuck it out and I’ve been rolling the fortwo for about a year now, but every once in a while I see a Honda Fit that makes me think “what if…?”  More images of this sick Fit over at HellaFlush

GiniroNoOni Tweeted His Ride at Twitter

By Ryan Porter

IN-N-OUT Editor

If you’re like Rob you probably are asking yourself what that even means, but here’s the scoop.  Every now and then I like to see who is talking about CarDomain over at Twitter and I’m gonna start calling anyone who updates their ride and tweets it over at www.twitter.com.

So go check out GiniroNoOni’s Mazda RX-7 FD3S since it pulled 380 horses on the dyno and leave him a comment or rating!  When you are done there, update your ride and shoot me a PM and maybe I’ll show your car off in the blog!

Riding Low 101

By Ryan Porter

IN-N-OUT Editor

So last week I told you guys about stretching tires. We received some positive feedback and noticed some new rides with stretched tires.  Even Rob sent the Satellite over to Discount Tire for some stretched shoes.

Well now that you have your tires stretched the next logical thing is to drop your ride to the ground and start riding low.  All jokes aside, check out this V12 Benz to see what I’m talking about.
