    Adulting | Daily Life

     Lately, I feel like I don’t have time to do shit because I’ve been remodeling my house. Go to work and then work that second shift when I come home to finish a part of the house, so I can still live in it. On top of that I didn’t realize how much debt I would be in just remodeling some parts of my house. Fuck this adult life.

    Privacy fence for the SC.

    Kiki is loving the new fence we put up.

    Soon to be 5 spoke Lexus gang…

    The Lexues of my life.

    Went out with Vu and Shavi to shoot my SC, I’ve always wanted a video by Vu for one of my cars and this seemed like a good time to shoot the SC before it gets trashed.

    A good dinner before work.

    Vu working his magic.

    Does it get better than this? I hope so.

    Kiki excited for the video.

    Thanks Vu for the lit video! Literally family.

  • The Impossible Will Take a While Part 2

    The Impossible Will Take a While Part 2

    How did I end up here? I promised myself I wouldn’t do this to myself, but here I am with two modified cars; both not being able to get into my favorite Dim Sum restaurant plaza. Both cars demanding the attention of my wallet and are both equally important to me. Sometimes I feel like I’m in a relationship with two controlling bitches, hopefully I can turn these hoes into domesticated housewives..

     This photo is an accurate summary on what’s going on with my SC400 aka “Dirty Diana”. Always something to fix..

    My IS250 aka Cleopatra has been pretty good to me until of late when she decided that she didn’t want to wear shoes anymore when running..

     How she looks currently…

    One night when we were working on my car, we forgot to torque the wheels down and when I drove off the wheel just flew off. The wheel hit another car before flying into a random neighborhood. I had to run at least 30 meters before finding my wheel just chilling on a curb in front of someone’s house.

    The sheer absurdity of sprinting after your own wheel, like some bizarre relay race, makes for a story you’ll never forget. But in the moment, all you can think about is the damage—both to your car and the unlucky vehicle caught in the wheel’s trajectory.

    It’s a sobering reminder of how small mistakes can lead to bigger consequences, and how easily they can spiral out of control. Thankfully, no one was hurt this time, but not every incident ends that way.

    When accidents escalate, especially those involving other vehicles, the fallout can be overwhelming. This is where someone like Mathew Minsky becomes a vital ally. Whether you’re dealing with property damage, insurance disputes, or potential liability, having an experienced car accident lawyer on your side can turn a nightmare into something manageable.

    Mathew’s expertise ensures that the legal and financial complexities are handled professionally, allowing you to focus on moving forward.

    I was really surprised I wasn’t angry at all about what happened. It was probably because my headlights were tinted that day and they looked so damn good.

    Time and money will always fix a broken heart… or anything that is broken.

     I have to admit my rear end has never looked so aggressive.

    Some photos of another person who kind of went through the same thing as me. John had a little accident as well with his quarter panel. Looks good right now, but before it looked like the Hulk punched his quarter panel.

     Thanks to Tho’s Autobody for working on John’s car and mine as well. They’re currently welding me a new quarter panel. Check them out here.. http://www.yelp.com/biz/thos-auto-collision-westminster

  • Miata Tuesdays

    Miata Tuesdays

      Car meets. I randomly go to them and take photos.

     Jay’s Miata is like the ugly duckinling among these cars.

    Miata owners contemplating on the what they should do to make their cars less girly.

    Here’s one way add a GT wing and put some cool looking rims on it.

    That’s some symmetrical parking.

    Speaking of clean, my SC needed a really good bath so, we drove to the Irvine self wash notoriously known for a place to work on your car.
