The words daily driver and perfection rarely go together in the car world but in this case it does. Not only does Josh daily his civic hatch, but he drives it at least 75 miles a day during his daily commute. If you have ever tried to daily a clean car, then you know all about the struggle to keep it mint.


Josh picked up this car about 6 months ago bone stock minus a set of Skunk2 lowering springs. Since then he has completely transformed the civic into what you see today.

Classy Like a "G" Part 2

You might remember Brandon's old g35 from last year's "Classy like a G" feature.

Well this year Brandon decided to change it up a bit. After giving his previous G35 to his mother so she could roll around clean, he decided on a 2011 Moonlight White Infiniti G37.
