  • Autocon Collaboration 2011

    Autocon Collaboration 2011

    This year’s Autocon 2011 in Irvine, California was a huge success with over 4,000 attendees, 450 cars, 30 vendors, 15 food trucks, and many models who came out that day. We would like to take the time to thank everyone on the Autocon staff that helped put this event together. Even though, the focal point are these cars at the event, it is mainly about the donations and donated toys that this event was able to accumulate for the less fortune for the holiday season.

    Here is my video coverage of the Canibeat and Royal Origin collaboration. Over 30 cars met up very early in the morning; we were even able to see the very last lunar eclipse of the year at the same time! Then drove down together as a group to roll in and organize at the show. Once again it was good meeting all our old and new friends to enjoy the day together, even if it was a very long day at that. This was an excellent way to end the year, before the show season starts up again in 2012.

  • Best VIP

    Best VIP

    As some of you may know, I work for the California Grill Truck and we travel all around the OC serving our Korean BBQ subs. This past weekend, our trip was to Fontana Speedway for a Continental Race event. There was a car show and when I got there one of the organizers thought I was there for the show. I said no, but he asked if I could just park and be part of the show. I was like why not, so I just hard parked at the show and went to work. After everything was over, the organizer told me I won best VIP. I thought that was real funny and it was only because there were like 5 cars at the show. He wanted me to pay for registration and then I would get my award. I didn’t feel ballin’ enough to pay for an award, so I passed on it. Well, that’s my short story for today. Fontana Speedway had some really cool spots to shoot. I usually don’t shoot my own car, but I just had to take this opportunity.

    Desktop Wallpapers by Jeff Payuan

    Today I present to you some lovely art by Jeff Payuan. He’s one of our attention to detail photographers and all his photos always come out brilliant. If you have ever gotten a picture taken by Jeff, you basically have been blessed by a thousand angels.  Unlike my pictures where everything is auto tone, auto contrast, auto color and image resize.  His pictures are carefully edited and make nice wall papers.  Let’s start with some fan favorites, the mintiest of all Zs.

  • The Sauna : Kendama

    The Sauna : Kendama

    After the Swagadega Nights Volume 1 event this Saturday, everyone still wanted to grab drinks and hang-out after that meet. Eventually that lead them to an awesome spot we like to call The Sauna, because it is so damn hot down there in the underground parking that it makes you sweat.  Nevertheless, here is a video by Rocky Wong of us doing what we do best. Cars. Photography. Friends. Kendama. Video.

    Hope you enjoyed that video.
    If you are interested in getting your own Kendama, you can purchase one from Kendama USA: www.kendamausa.com

  • SWAGADEGA NIGHTS VOL.1

    SWAGADEGA NIGHTS VOL.1

    A couple of months ago, Ommar hit us up about doing a collaboration meet with his crew Oniwagens and Style Over Comfort. We were kinda hesitant about doing a meet with them because most of the Oniwagens crew are from San Diego and doing a meet with them would probably require us to drive down to San Diego. Good thing the Oniwagens are down as fuck and wanted to do the meet somewhere in the OC. After some talking, Swagadega nights was born and here we are with a successful meet and good times.

    #WEPUTINWORK

    The days are counting down for the big event at AUTOCON. I’m trying to get my SC together before then and want to re barrel my WORK EQUIPS that I bought from CZ WHEELS. I went to David’s house because he was already working on something on his car and he helped me take apart the wheels. Most of the nuts were super rusted and I wanted to get it replaced, went to three different shops and none of them carried it. Apparently, it’s a special nut with special threading and no one around my area carried it. Even a specialty nut and bolt ware house where all they sell is nuts and bolts! Fuck life.

  • The Impossible Will Take a While (The Story of my Lexus SC400)

    The Impossible Will Take a While (The Story of my Lexus SC400)

    Everyone has their dream cars, from the NSX  to the Murcielago. In all my years I was into cars, I was never really into those super cars that everyone would give an arm and a leg for. I have a slightly different liking for cars. I’m more into the cars that everyone sees everyday and then making them a beautiful form of moving  art. I know people say this is just a hobby and you’ll probably get over it in years to come, but I believe it’s something much more than that. It’s my way of showing the world that there is a creative side of me because hell I can not draw or paint if my life depended on it. I’m trying to get my SC400 ready for AUTOCON because to me that event is like an art gallery and one of the pieces that I want to be displayed is my car.

    You must be thinking, “Damn, Minh you have two cars?! Must be freaking nice” and I have to tell you it is nice. The story behind me buying this car was when I had the money I could have bought UAS(Universal Air System) aka bags for my IS250.

    When I talked to my financial adviser(my girlfriend) she said, “With that much money, why don’t you just buy another car?” I considered investing in something like Bitcoin UK, but instead, we decided to buy another car. She helped put in half of the money, so half of this car belongs to her and whatever I do to it, I run it by her first. Good thing we have similar taste in everything. So, here it is my 1992 Lexus SC400…

    The first thing you should do to any car is drop it. After months of research, I decided to go with Powered by Max coil overs. It was the most stiffest ride you can get(insert dirt joke here) and probably gives you the best drop for the SC. They also dip it in gold for you and give you copper plated springs.

  • The Legend

    The Legend

    Let me introduce to you THE LEGEND, Kyle Ranauro from goodfeeling and Studio. Kyle’s car has been getting a lot of recognition lately, sooner or later he’ll be too cool to let me take pictures of his cars. In San Diego I had the chance to snap some quick photos of his car. I really wanted to get some rolling shots to show you guys how insane this car looks when it’s in motion. I almost drifted into a wall because he broke my neck when we were cruising home from Autofashion. The weather was pretty relentless when we were in SD and the roads fucking suck, so we ended up just doing a small shoot in front of an abandoned Chinese restaurant. Be sure to make it out to AUTOCON because he will be showing with us along with the other goodfeeling guys aka “neck brace givers”.
