    SPOCOM 2015 | Event Coverage

     Better late than never! Not sure why I lagged so hard on posting this coverage because I actually enjoyed how the photos came out of my Minolta 24-85mm lens. The lens is small and it has a great range, but the best thing about it was that it only cost me $50 for this lens on eBay. Fucking deals. Anyways, it’s been about two years since I’ve been to my last SPOCOM. SPOCOM to me is a car show that uses models as their main attraction with the glits and glam of musical performances and dance competitions. I think most people bring their cars to this show because they want to win the big sword trophies which I’ve secretly always wanted.

    The crowd at SPOCOM is interesting, seems like they are not really into cars and are more into just being somewhere that they think is cool. The other portion of the crowd are the creeper photographer dudes. These guys are literally at every event, they are the hardcore fans of Import models similar to the Japanese idol otakus. These guys are the type of dudes that pay webcam girls that don’t strip. I’m a creeper photographer myself, but I’m more into watching these guys interact with the models. All in all everyone has their own demons, so who am I to judge? Do you. Anyways, on to the car coverage…

    Niko Edition widebody 370z on step lipped SSR Vienna Kreis.

    I always thought a wider 350/370z would look like a bubble with a wide body kit on it, but this kit pulls it off nicely.

    O.G. Royal Origin shirt, it looks like he takes good care of that shirt.

    This is just more confirmation that I need TE-37s in my life. What I love about the Lexus IS is that it can be a sporty build or a VIP build and will still look good.
