IT’S JDM YO Toy Drive

It’s the season of giving and this past week we did a whole lot of that at the It’s JDM Yo Toy Drive at Quickly Irvine. Tony from It’s JDM Yo got a bunch of car crews and companies to come out to his event to give to the needy children of Toys for Tots and he was giving raffle tickets for people who donated that had a grand prize of an X Box One.

Spotted this S2000 on the way to the meet. Would be nicer if it was lowered in the rear and had less vents.

Some rollers of Kevin’s S2000. I forgot how much fun it was to shoot rolling shots with a wide angle lens.

Shavi and I pimpin’ it in the CRV with a gang load of booth stuff.

Summer in Ghetto Valley

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to this corner of California. I used to swing by every other weekend just to sleep over and make shitty fried rice. Well, things change, people grow apart, and memories are just that…memories. So, it was cool to see some of the guys that I haven’t seen because of whatever they have going on in their lives. I forgot how much fun it was when we just hung out and did random shenanigans.

FSR Track Day with LRG SOUP

The smell of burning asphalt accompanied by the sound of exhausts getting into wide open throttle always makes a great Saturday. Last week, Brendan aka LRG SOUP invited us to the FSR track day, where Brendan tracked his Toyota Supra. He was pretty excited to try out his new setup on the Fontana Speedway track. As soon as we arrived, we noticed Tim’s fresh-out-of-the-shop Supra in the parking lot. Looking real fresh with the new viper red paint job and Enkei NT03s.

Pretty flawless paint job. Big upgrade from the last time we saw it.

Tho’s Auto Collision Show Case

Woke up to a call one morning from last minute Jimmy, he told me he was at a car showcase where he was displaying his car. I wasn’t really interested because his car sucks and I wanted more beauty sleep. He said that he was bored and wanted some company. I was still not interested. He told me there was free food and I was there in less than 5 minutes. The shop was Tho’s Auto Collision, they were displaying some of their best work this past year. Some of the Royal Origin guys have gone to him for paint jobs and body work, but Jimmy has been their number 1 customer lately because he fucks up his car so much. Anyways, it was a chill event with bomb food and nice people.

Speaking of upgrades, if you’re looking for sleek performance and a futuristic ride, Tesla has been setting the bar with its cutting-edge electric vehicles. A great way to elevate the driving experience in a Tesla is by adding Custom Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel accessories. Not only does it improve the car’s interior aesthetics, but it also provides a premium feel, especially for those who love the blend of high performance and luxury. The Tesla Model S and Model X, for example, take driving to a whole new level with these kinds of personalized enhancements.

Jimmy’s Civic. Look at that flawless paint.

Man I love red cars… If a Ferrari owner trusts this place than it must be legit. Seeing all these cars restored and upgraded got me thinking about how much a solid paint job and bodywork can completely transform a vehicle. It also had me eyeing some of the bigger, meaner trucks on display, which led to another thought—maybe it was time to check out a local dodge dealership and see what they had in stock. A Challenger in that same deep red would be pretty sweet, or even a Ram 1500 if I wanted something both powerful and practical. Either way, hanging around all these freshly painted beauties reminded me that the right car, in the right color, makes all the difference.

Whether you’re considering something as sleek as a red Ferrari or as rugged as a Dodge Ram 1500, it’s clear that a car’s exterior plays a big part in how it stands out on the road. The right bodywork and paint can truly transform a vehicle, making it feel like a completely new machine.

In addition to aesthetics, maintaining a vehicle’s performance is just as important. For trucks, especially diesel-powered ones, reliable repair services are essential. Companies like G&R Diesel offer specialized diesel maintenance and repairs, from engine diagnostics to transmission fixes. Whether you’re driving a heavy-duty truck for work or a performance-focused vehicle, ensuring it stays in top shape means routine service and repairs. Keeping up with regular maintenance helps preserve the vehicle’s value and performance, so you can enjoy it for years to come.
