  • On The Way | Freeway Rollers

    On The Way | Freeway Rollers

    A little throwback from our caravan to Vegas for our Anniversary meet. This year we decided to have an open caravan to Vegas, but sadly only 3-4 cars from our group made it this year when we usually have a flurry of 20+ cars. We’re just getting older and other responsibilities are taking us away from our cars. I’m still glad that some new people came out to our caravan and we want to thank all of the people who decided to cruise with us for coming out.

    Kevin’s S2000 and the Greddy Ben Sopra GTR.

    It’s been 3 months since I took this photo, so I forgot the owner’s name, but his FD was clean and it sounded awesome on the 15 freeway.

    DSC08865

    The homie Allen, brought out his 350z from Low N Slow.

    DSC08884

    You can see that he supports our friends from Super Kawaii.

    DSC08900 DSC08923

    Mikey brought out his static LS430 on VIP Modulars. It was ridiculous seeing this car cruise the 400 miles to Vegas.

    Surprisingly, Mikey was keeping up with the Greddy GTR. Kenji was at the helm and breaking necks on the 15 freeway.

    Bruno Mars is really humble and brought out his E39.

    DSC09009 DSC09012 DSC09027

    Mikey ended up getting a blow out, so we stopped on the side of the freeway to help out. Six highway patrol rolled up on us and only let one car to stay behind to help Mikey. I don’t have a photo of the situation, so here’s a photo of Allen’s 350z.

    I got the double shack burger. Melts in your mouth not in the bun.

    DSC09264 DSC09266

    Shake Shack is so good, Jeff ordered two burgers. I’ll end it with this food porn and hopefully I’ll get more posts out. Hopefully…

    Boost Brigade Spring Launch | Event Coverage

    Boost Brigade, an upcoming brand in the automotive industry, invited us to their spring launch. Boost Brigade is the brain child of Kenji, the president of Greddy Performance. The clothing brand will focus on the love of boosted vehicles. The event started in the evening at the Greddy warehouse and the first person that greeted us was Sara.

    Sara was helping out Boost Brigade with the check-in and had excellent back lighting for this photo.

    Which way is it to the event?

    Boost Brigade had a plethora of boosted cars on display, like the Greddy Ben Sopra GTR on Advan GT wheels. DSC00014DSC09997DSC00008DSC00010 Another heavily modified GTR rolling in from Evasive Motorsports. DSC00021This GTR looks like it would kill it on the track and it should be since Evasive is known for making track monsters.DSC00017DSC00013 Clean R32 on Work CR-kais.    DSC00024

    GMG Racing Open House | Event Coverage

    GMG Racing open house is one of the best local events in Orange County, we get to see a crazy amount of super cars at this event and be in presence of cars that would probably cost two of your lifetimes to afford. The morning of the event I met up with Phat and Ashton for breakfast.

    DSC08423 One does not belong…DSC08428 The Porsche/Mazda bros. DSC08431 DSC08433 Ashton’s 911 is looking great going back to the grey paint and adding the PNA Design wing. DSC08435 DSC08436DSC08440

    Jimmy’s Civic & Erik’s EP3 | Video

    It has been a long while since I have actually did video, and doing this video was like learning it again. Here we have Jimmy’s Honda Civic and Erik’s Honda EP3, which have nearly identical visual appearances and performance modifications. Both these cars are static (on coilovers), boosted, and on Volk Racing TE37s.

    Take a look at this highlight of both fine tuned cars:

    Thanks.

    Late Night Hangs | Catching Up with The Royals

    I don’t know if it’s just me, but lately I’ve been feeling more alive at night. During the day it’s just so hot, that all I want to do is lay in bed and hug a gigantic ice cube to sleep. Although I’m always home, my friends know that the only reason I would leave my house is for food. Ryan Gold was in the area and we decided to meet him up for dinner.

    DSC07413

    John came and met me up in the Vette.

    DSC07586

    Ryan’s been super busy with his shop, RR Motorworks in Santa Barbara and doesn’t have the time to hang with us as much as before.

    Ryan also grew an epic beard and looks like he could be John’s dad.

    DSC07569

    We’re always at Tastea.

    DSC07553

    Ryan had a two hour drive home and wanted to get home early to watch videos on how to grow a longer beard. So, we decided to go check out this car meet in the next plaza.
