  • Royal Origin Summer

    Royal Origin Summer

    School is out and summer is here, so we got our short shorts, rounded up the homies, and went to the park for a BBQ. David, being as generous as he is, planned the event and bought all the food for us. He grilled some delicious burgers and Korean BBQ for us. We had a good time and there were good vibes. Some of us got friendly rounds of basketball in and even played tag. We haven’t seen each other as often as before because of our busy lives, so it was nice that everyone came out. A meet up with Royal Origin also means a car meet, so the parking lot at the park looked like a full blown car meet.
    Here is Jimmy’s fresh-to-death Civic…

    Charles took out the Q45 for a tan along with Nick’s SC400. Nick’s SC was lowered the next day, so watch out for that! Should look sick.

  • Kids Being Kids

    Kids Being Kids

    This past Thursday, I got a tip from a friend that Mr. Chris Foreman just got new wheels for his Z. After class, I rushed over to Ladera Ranch to see these bad boys in person for the first time. When we arrived, Chris had already begun to adjust his car to fit his impossibly wide setup. Full feature soon when his car is cleaned up and dialed in.

    It was the day of the monthly Thursday night Euro meet down at the Laguna Hills Mall, so Chris was anxiously getting everything ready for the meet.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Wheels N Meals 3: FoodElement

    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!

  • Balboa Chillin’

    Balboa Chillin’

    This will be my little introduction here on Royal Origin. Over the weekend, a couple of my friends and I went out on a little adventure to try and look for some places to shoot at. We tried to stay away from those traditional parking structures that everyone seems to choose as their default location for night shoots. We tried some locations around the Newport area, and came up with some spots near Fashion Island.

      Here is Chris super slammed Nissan 350z. Many of you will think “wow, that car must ride like shit at that height.” Surprisingly, the ride on this Z is probably the most comfortable ride I’ve ever felt in any slammed car that sits as low as this does.

      His car is still a work in progress and you guys should definitely keep an eye out on his car in the near future.
