Wekfest San Jose 2013 | The Journey

By  | 

After attending last year’s Wekfest in San Francisco, we were convinced that we had to be at the next one with a booth and some of our cars. Unfortunately, we were not able to bring out all of our cars because of the limited space this year. We were suppose to bring about 15 cars, but we were limited to 5. Oh wells. This year we decided to get a rental and cruise it up to norcal like real pimps.  Thanks to Jeremy for hooking it up on the rape van. Unfortunately, none of our cars from socal were rolling up. Three out of five cars were already in norcal and the other two were in Santa Barbara and Las Vegas, so no cool rolling shots 🙁

Royal Origin’s bang bus.

A lot of hoodratstuff took place in this van. It is best if we did not talk about it.

011

Long road ahead of us.

013

Shavi is like a fucking robot when he drives. Drove 6 hours and was not phased at all. After the drive, we played monopoly deals until 5 am.

017

We reached Vinh’s house at like 2 AM. He was in his garage getting Ariana (His Subaru) ready for tomorrow.

Late nights doing hoodratstuff.

While Vinh was prepping his car, we were hard at work setting things up for our booth.

031

2 hours later, Gerald pulled up to Vinh’s house and began his Wekfest prep. He was using sloppy’s Mugen M7’s for the crazy drive from Las Vegas. We ended up throwing on the curb for the trash man to take it.

034

This was my first time seeing the root beer on the Work CR-01s. Fitment was on point like always and wheels did a great contrast to the paint.

036

Our new friends, JDM Chemicals gave us some stuff to help wash our cars. Be sure to check out their products, quality stuff! www.jdmchemicals.com

Ryan’s EVO, this car should look pretty crazy in the future.

Keith couldn’t make it to Wekfest with his IS300, so Jason bought some VS-KFs just so we wouldn’t miss his car too much.

083

Jeff enjoying that cracker a little too much..

084

Sensual eyes.

Damn, is it me or all cars look 100 times better when lowered?

111

After we got everything set up, we hit up one of our favorite spots to eat in Milipitas. Pepper Lunch.

114

As I type this caption, I am trying to eat my computer screen.

124

Good food with good people.

128

On our way to the hotel, we decided to see why girl’s love selfies so much. I will now be taking selfies of myself every hour. Hopefully I get more followers on instagram.

131

Our little hip hotel equipped with a bar and cute Asian front desk attendant.

133

We stayed at the San Jose Hilton which was connected to the convention center, so there were a lot of cool cars in our parking structure.

135

After we checked in, the group decided to go do tourist’s stuff in San Francisco. We picked up this little weirdo on the way..

136

More selfies.. I’m addicted.

137

Getting turnt up on a strawberrygita.

146

150

Spotted a sick IS300 in the streets of the pier.

A caravan of segways.

157

She always gives me the weirdest smiles.

159

Keith on the other hand always looks dapper as fuck.

160

Not really sure why, but I really like this blurry photo of Hayle. Probably because it’s blurry.

161

Oh and we picked up Jay too, who was going to be on modeling at our booth.

163

Her and Hayle are weird.

165

The crane pose while holding a purse with your thigh.

184

Hayle is a fun person to hang out with. She is always laughing and twerking.

186

The things people do for money. He should take his act to Vegas or something. I’m sure a lip singing silver robot will do really well there.

188

I’m sure Jeff wanted an emo photo.

194

Not to self. Don’t let a photographer drive.

197

Busy and crowded.
