  • Low Beachin

    Low Beachin

    I’ve been missing the Lowballers lately; it’s been a really long minute since we hung out. In our honeymoon phase, we saw each other every week. One week, we would make the trip to Vegas and the other week, they would come to Cali. Nowadays, we rarely get together, but when we do, it’s epic. Gerald and Chivas came down for Nisei and since we were at the Infamous, we didn’t get to hang out that day. The next morning, Gerald hit us up and we did some old school bromancin’.

    Gerald wanted to show us how he get’s down.

  • Thursty Thursday.

    Thursty Thursday.

    Water rolled down our faces, and our worst fears became reality when the rainy clouds appeared. All week long, the summer rays were shining bright as ever, but on the night of our meet, nature decided that it was thirsty for some rain. Hours before the meet, we were still debating whether or not we should have the meet or postpone it because at 9pm, the weather forecast predicted thunderstorms. Like all of our previous meets, we decided last minute that the meet would continue and we didn’t really care who came out because we had to get our Peach Me Sweatea fix. I rolled up early and to my surprise, there were already a gang of cars. I didn’t know there were people as down as us to kick it even during thunderstorms.

    Cars were constantly coming through; the Tastea lot was overflowing with rain and cars, so people started parking in the fire lanes and handicap zones.

  • Royal Flush Meet

    Royal Flush Meet

    We had the chance to attend the Royal Flush Meet that is hosted every month at Ray Ray’s Restaurant. I rolled up with Vinh, Angelo, and the broads. We had heard that this meet has only the best VIP cars around the area. We kind of came late, so most of the cars that I expected to be there were already leaving as we walked over to the plaza. The meet still did not disappoint; there were still some good-looking cars such as  Ojay’s LS400.

  • Unusual Underground

    Unusual Underground

    Welcome to the GG Underground, a place for Royal Origin and friends to go to when we want to relax after enjoying a day with each other, and just want to shoot some cars to end the night. We met up with Chris Foreman and his friends from Ladera Ranch, and Jomar and Josh from Temecula/Murrieta at our favorite place, Tastea, before heading to our late night spot. Check out my video below and our pictures from that night.

    CRZ surprisingly had enough room in the trunk for two people to play cards in it.

  • A Royal Adventure

    A Royal Adventure

    Keith Cheng aka Keychain here, and this is my first post ever on Royal Origin. I am usually blogging and taking pictures for It’s JDM Yo, but I am here to share with  you our Las Vegas adventure through Jeff and my eyes.

    A few rolling shots on our way to Las Vegas.

     Ryan Gold’s Civic Si. He drove all the way from Santa Barbara to join this adventure with us.

  • The Anniversary

    The Anniversary

    After a delicious breakfast at BabyStacks Cafe, some of us headed over to Chivas’ place to get some of the cars cleaned up and to relax for a bit before the meet.

    David, Chivas, and Nimo…probably checking Instagram.

    The Sunkist. All wet.

  • BabyStacks Cafe

    BabyStacks Cafe

    During our trip in Vegas, the Royal Origin and Lowballers fam wanted to gather up for some breakfast. We planned the night before that we would go BabyStacks Cafe, previously known as BabyCakes. Well actually, we had pretty much made it a plan to go to BabyStacks way before the Vegas trip. This was my first time (Vinh) in Las Vegas with everyone, so I was probably the only one who hasn’t had the opportunity to enjoy their bomb breakfast foods. Everyone always talked about how awesome their red velvet pancakes are. I had some pretty high expectations coming in for breakfast and I wasn’t disappointed one bit. It was amazingly life changing; I will never look at ordinary pancakes the same. A must-have if you’re ever in the area. Haha, sorry for my Yelp Review, now let’s see some photos.

    Everyone starting to show up at BabyStacks.

  • Days Before the Meet

    Days Before the Meet

    We couldn’t contain our excitement of going to Vegas and seeing our most favorite people in the world, so Jeff, David, Jennifer, and I decided to go a day earlier than the others to be able to bask in the Vegas morning. The route to Vegas was pretty shitty for slammed cars; everyone who rode in a lowered car could attest to this. Good thing we went late at night because Jennifer was swerving left and right when we hit the construction parts on the 15. Got to see a crew of modded cars rolling pass us, who also showed up at the meet! On the next morning, Friday, we went to go eat at Sushi Bomb; David always raves about this place and how amazing the Volcano Roll is.

    David and Jeff, the happy couple. Jeff only looks sad because he didn’t get his morning wood taken care of by David before going to Sushi Bomb.

  • Vegas Visitation Ikea

    Vegas Visitation Ikea

    Chivas and Christine came down from Vegas to visit us and shop at IKEA for some furniture. We took them to a local joint for breakfast, and decided on Omelette House. I also got to test out my 5D Mark 2. Coming out of the house, I just had to stop and test out the Mark 2 on my SC. Photos came out way better than I expected; I definitely see the improvement of image quality compared to my D7000.

  • Night Import Collaboration

    Night Import Collaboration

    William Lee of Night Import hosted a meet. Shavi, Minh, and I decided to go check it out. We thought that it would have a crazy turn-out, but what we encountered last night was much more than we anticipated. Lines and crowds of people were in the structure that the meet was held at. It was like swimming in a sea of people.

    It seriously felt like we were in the Tokyo Drift movie, getting ready to drift in between pillars. The crazy thing was, we got there when the meet was already dying down. Will told us that earlier, cars were coming in from every direction, and that he was so sure that cops were going to end it. Luckily, no cops showed up, and the meet was a success. (more…)
