    Night Meet Ups | Event Coverage

    Met up with some friends for a little car meet for an out of country visitor. I didn’t meet the guy, but the cars that came out were pretty cool.

    I got to meet some friends that I have been playing PUBG with in person. Glad to have put a face to a name. This is Dezz’s  sweet S13.

    Super slammed S13 on Weds Cerebus.

    Sick AE86 on the classic Watanabe wheels.

    Nice and clean R32 on Volk TE-37s.

    I still love Vertex IS300s especially with the S-Endurance bumper.

    Enjoy life, drive your car.

    Formula Drift: Long Beach 2012

    Finally, the Formula Drift season was here! I was getting bored of going to car meets and shows, seeing the same thing over and over. I really wanted to do some motor sports kind of photography. This year, there were many new sights at FD, such as the Scion FRS that Ken Gushi drove, and Daigo Saito from D1GP competed and brought his Lexus SC430 mated with 3.4 liter Brian Crower stroker 2JZ-GTE. There was an in-car video on youtube of Daigo driving it on practice day and it sounded insane. Got me super excited to witness the monster in action. As soon as I arrived at the parking structure, I could smell the burning rubber and hear the screech of tires drifting. It got me giddier than a high school girl who just got  asked to the prom.

    Saw the Megan-racing AE86 on the way to the entrance.

    Wheels N Meals 3: FoodElement

    I always told myself, that I would stop by and check out Wheels N Meals if it was going down when I was in town. Coincidentally, the first two times occurred when I was back home, but my lazy ass didn’t want to drive out two miles to attend. I guess the 3rd time’s the charm. I was home for Spring Break and saw that it was happening, so I decided to finally check it out.

    So basically, Wheels N Meals is just a Food Truck Meet in Milpitas, CA. The food trucks come and customers show up in their cars. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to a Bay Area car meet. Wish I had my car with me to take out for a cruise. All good though! I went to the meet to eat some good food, and also ran into a old friends.

    This clean Benz from SF Wekfest (sorry, it’s blurry), still clean though!
