Living in FUCKING SURVIVAL

By  | 

We weren’t sure how this meet would turn out and honestly thought that the first spot we picked would be sufficient enough. Reason is because we used to have meets at Tastea and that lot is way smaller than the Genki Living spot. Nimo, Jennifer, and I were still on our way home from Vegas that evening and by 8:30PM, Alex texted me that the parking lot was already getting packed.  I just told him that we’ll figure it out when I get there, thinking it couldn’t have been that bad. I was so wrong.

The parking lot was so packed that it was difficult to even walk around. It was a cluster fuck of cars.

 As soon as we arrived, we decided it was time to move to the second spot, which was M&M Donuts.

Garden Grove’s finest giving tickets. They gave our friend Anthony a ticket for jaywalking…mother F.

Only photo I got of a car was this Yellow Type R in front of Genki.

The streets were packed, filled with modified cars everywhere.

LS460 that was coming late to the party just followed us to the next spot.

 Pogi Fresh leading the way; it was like a parade of cars heading to M&M.

 Damn, our meet only lasted 20 minutes before it got rolled.

The M&M Donuts lot was 5 times bigger than the Genki spot and we filled that up quick too.

It was cool that most of the cars here were slammed and we didn’t have to tippy toe to find anyone’s car.

Sweet beetle.

KSANCHEZ and KJOHNSTON.

IMG_6486

This spot ended up getting rolled on too; they gave Angelo a ticket for being too low and this time they put non-correctable. Might be a $500 fucking ticket.

IMG_6468

Useless crew came out to kick it.

IMG_6467

S2K’s on the roll.

IMG_6476

Clean Miata. I am in love with the red paint!

IMG_6502

We moved to the third spot just in case the cops wanted to shut down M&M’s too. This time, we only invited close friends to Tastea.

Not sure who these guys are, but they brought the heat with this NSX and 350z.

IMG_6543

Swerve GS, reminds me of Big Vinh’s GS back in 2009.

Merry Christmas guys!

The Vegas peeps tried to surprise us & left Vegas 20 minutes after us so they can catch up, but Chivas ended up having oil filter problems and got stuck in Barstow. We ended up driving back to get them with an oil filter. Nice try guys, it was the effort that counts.

Nice shot of Gerald’s Work Equips.

Another shot of Minh’s IS250.

Another wheel whore, Christforeman sittin’ on some new Weds LX-Zs.

IMG_6563

Miguel couldn’t afford new wheels, so he just powder coated them.

IMG_6564

Wish I had a wide angle lens…

IMG_6559

350z galore.

IMG_6553

All the RSX’s were jealous of the 350zs and wanted to park next to each other too.

IMG_6565

Man was Sam late…

IMG_6568

I always get cool photos of Matt’s S13.

IMG_6536

Thanks everybody for coming out and dealing with all that bullshit from the cops, assholes doing burn outs, and bitches speeding in the parking lot. We’ll find a better spot where we can regulate the traffic and not get kicked out by the police. Peace!
