    Cruise to the New Year | Daily Life

    We have been talking about doing a car cruise for the longest time in 2018, but never got around to it. It’s 2019, we won’t talk about it, we’ll be about it. Even thought my SC wasn’t running, I was going to make sure I was coming to the cruise, so I took out the IS.

    We met up at a Target at the bottom of the mountains and I even brought my new pup, Moscow along.

    Like always, Nimo was on Filipino time and was 2 hours late. Fortunately, Steve and John were down to chill and eat while we waited.

    It did not feel good to drive the IS on these roads.. The excessive camber and soft suspension felt unsafe at high speeds. I’m going to keep the IS as just a grocery getter from now on.

    High up in the mountains.

    Another car on bags and excessive camber, Andy’s GS350. Both of our girls were feeling nauseated from the drive.

    We decided not to go all the way to the spot where we usually do the night drifting and cruised back down to this opening. Surprisingly, there was a group of enthusiasts down here trying to flag people down for a group photo shoot.

    John found his family.

    It’s 2019, let’s get shit done.

    Familiar Faces | Daily life

    We got a familiar face that visited us this week, all the way from North Carolina. Big old Vinh. He was in town for his mom’s birthday and had time to hang with us. We decided to go out to Garden Grove Main Street for some matcha foam tea.

    Late night hangs like we use to do.

    Laugh at the guy that’s gonna have BMW problems soon..

    Rodney’s Cressida has been looking real good with the rear bumper on.

    Biggie and smalls.

    Underground Kings available on shop.royal-origin.com.

    Andy brought out the GS and traded me players in fantasy football. What a great man.

    I brought out the IS to flex a bit tonight.

    In love with my leaking headlights.

     It’s always great to put names to faces, I have always seen the water mark “Kevin Chow Photography” and followed Kevin on Instagram for the longest time, but we’ve never met. Kevin recently hit me up and said he would be in town and wanted to meet up. We got together and did what normal automotive photographers do and we shot some cars. DSC08357

    Mikey Dang met us up and brought out his Amuse 370z. We took Kevin to the famous TK Plaza where the Fast and Furious was shot.

    It feels nice to be driving a car that doesn’t have any problems for once.

    It was nice meeting you guys and shout out to Kevin for setting this up!
