More Feature Cars

	Follow The Leader - Disrespected and underrated in Australia, this Honda Civic bites back Owning a Honda Civic in Australia is a bit like turning up to a Star Trek convention dressed as Chewbacca. You’ve got the genre right, but no matter how you comb your hair you never seem to fit in.

	Where My Art Thou My FairladyZ? - Edgar Arriola's 350Z Okay, so this isn’t really a Fairlady and these aren’t medieval times, but if they were I’ll tell you one thing for sure… all the maidens would be throwing themselves at you to go for a ride on the back of this trusty steed.
	Pretty Pink Missile - 01 Toyota Celica GTS Usually no more than just a little blip on our radar, the Toyota Celica is a truly underrated member of the sport compact family. However, this particular GTS showed up on our screens as a very loud and imminent threat!
	Hybrid Heaven - 2008 Lexus LS 600h Usually when someone mentions hybrid cars your first thought is…lame. Sure, hybrid rides may help conserve fuel and reduce green house emissions but let’s face it, for most of us it’ll be a cold day in hell when we drive a hybrid.

	Dee's Angry 3 - 1300 whp Mazda 3 Usually when you hear someone talk about clocking a ¼ mile time of 7.39 @ 184mph, a Mazda 3 is not the first car that comes to mind. Yet Dee Karagiannis has turned this popular grocery getter into one of the top forces to be reckoned with...
	Our man in Japan - Paul Castillo's "TOP SECRET" Skyline 1999 R34 V Spec GT-R fully built by Top Secret. I am running a RB28 with a single TO4Z turbo, HKS V Cam, huge ARC intercooler, oil cooler.
	Sliding with style - Hiro's Falken IS350 When I think of drifting, I get the image of a small white AE86 blazing the touge of Japan, kinda like Initial D. I certainly don’t think about a Lexus luxury sedan with four doors – but this is what you’ve got to love about professional drifting these days...
	Kickin' in old school - Taka's AE86 With a lot of new drift cars having entered the scene within the last few years it’s refreshing to see that Taka Aono is keeping it real and sticking to the true roots of drifting…Simple, clean and fast.

	Look Out - L-Con / Sage Vaughn Scion xB Urban Safari Art Car Safaris - real ones, like the ones I imagine in my mind - are pretty damn cool. Nothing quite says adventure like loading into a Land Rover and plowing through the desert chasing freightened, hapless animals.
