The Ultimate Volvo enthusiast get-together/show. Located in Sweden, the cars there often contain mods and custom jobs that you never even knew were possible.

An online "art" community, although there may be a handful of people on it with real talent, it is mostly a showcase for people's sad anime drawings, bad B&W photos, and other nonart. Populated mostly by people who think that taking a drawing class in highschool makes them an artist, and that their trite images are anything more than glorified napoleon dynamite doodles.
Good news. Absolutely every shitty sketch and dumb wallpaper anyone has ever made is now considered art.
Most of the people wouldn't know real art if it smacked them upside the face

British Supercar, little heard of outside of the isles, aside from the appearance of a TVR Tuscan in the movie Swordfish. The cars are all great performance bargains, riding on steel tube-frame beckbones with fibreglass bodywork which results in the cars having a very light curb weight (~2200 pounds or so). This, combined with the fact that a 350 HP v8 is weakest powerplant available, results in blistering performance, all for about 30,000 pounds base price. Their top-of-the-line car is the Tuscan T440R, essentially a roadgoing lemans car, which is so named because it has 440HP, is a carbonfibre rocket that tops out at 215 mph and can run with the best of the supercars, all for a 50k pounds price tag.
Those of you who see the corvette as the ultimate performance bargain have obviously never heard of a TVR
American 1: Damn that car is crazy looking!!!
American 2: It's supple curves look almost organic
TVR Driver: That's the name of the game with a TVR, now hold still while I smoke your candy asses

British cottage-car company, known for their mid-engine supercars, the Noble M12 and the Noble M14 that combine a British-built body and a highly tuned Ford engine into something that could be described as the closest thing to a British Detomasso Panter.
My noble handles better than your porsche 911, and with its ford engine, I never have to worry about expensive engine parts.

Large, boxy and seemingly dowdy Swedish car brand. The older RWD volvos (1800, 100 series, 200 series, 700 series, 900 series) will quite literally run forever with good maintinence, and time will tell if the FWD and post-Ford cars will keep that mantle of reliability. Although often bashed for their emphasis on safety, Volvo has been building surprisingly sporty cars for quite some time, such as the 740 turbos which had 180 horsepower in the 1980's (at the same time that the corvette only had 220 to put things in perspective). The performance of the R-line of cars has increased from adequate to BMW M-car challenging with the new AWD s60R and v70R models.
My currently underpowered Volvo 940GLE sedan will become a mustang-eating Q-ship once I drop the twin-turbo S80 t6 engine into it.

The ultimate sportswear company. Their Regulator System Jackets blow North Face's out of the water, their Synchilla fleece are trememdously comfortable while at the same time envoronmentally sound (made from recycled bottles). Their subsidiary, Lotus Designs, makes the best life jackets and foul weather tops are the best and most stylish on the market. Overall, although their stuff is expensive, it's worth every penny in terms of comfort, style and build quality.
My bright-green Patagonia ski jacket is the nicest and most eye-catching piece of apparell on the slopes
