  • WEKFEST LA PRE MEET

    WEKFEST LA PRE MEET

    In collaboration with our good friends over at Wekfest, we threw a pre meet to celebrate their upcoming show this Saturaday (5.31.14). Crazy, how back in like 2008 I thought I was extremely cool because I was rocking wek’sos stickers on my IS300 and now I’m helping them throw a meet. The car scene is pretty small and the people you admire and look up to eventually become your friends. Unless you’re an asshole..

    VLUU L200  / Samsung L200

    Time sure does fly..

    Quickly Irvine was gracious enough to allow us to have the meet in their plaza. It was big enough to hold up to 500 cars and it was private property, so Irvine PD couldn’t kick us out if they wanted to. Thanks Stan and David!

    We Are Here. #throwback

    The night was so perfect. It wasn’t as windy as last year and there was not a single person who did a burnout at the meet. I would call it a successful meet. A big thank you to Chivas for helping get a spot for the meet and Findlay Fiat for providing the location! Shout out Fuku Burger, Oso Ono and 96.7 Jelli radio for coming out! Enough of the blabbering and let’s move on to the photos.

    Here was the following morning, as we made our way to our cars in the parking structure. A little sense of anxiousness rolled down my back. I haven’t seen my car since Friday night and it was always in the back of mind as I was getting plastered at the clubs. When I arrived to my car, everything looked like it was in good condition, and my car started up just fine with my favorite Taylor Swift song playing (I Knew You Were Trouble).  As I loaded up the car, I saw a Bellagio security talking to Shavi, who parked a couple of feet away from me. He then headed towards my car. For a second, I thought we were going to get in trouble for parking overnight there without staying at the hotel. He asked us, “Do you guys know the owner of a gold Honda? The car is missing window wipers, wheels, the steering wheel…thought you might know him because I saw the Slammed Society plate on the car.” At first I thought, “fuck, well…I don’t know anyone with a gold car and even if it was anybody I knew…most of us don’t run window wipers and I thought he was correcting himself when he said wheel and he meant to say steering wheel. If that was the case, most of us have detachable steering wheels as well. The security guard led us to the car and to my horror, it was Jeff’s RSX on 4 stock jacks and a regular jack.

    IMG_8994

    My heart stopped. I didn’t know what to do or say. I called Jeff immediately and I didn’t know how to say what I was about to say. The only thing I could utter was “you got jacked.”  I guess I said it like I was joking because everyone knows I’m the biggest troll in the group. I had to put it down on my life that I wasn’t lying. It was depressing to stare at the once beautiful RSX. I was supposed to feature it soon, too for fatlace. Sad to say, the police, again, were not of any help. They wouldn’t send anyone to come file a police report because it wasn’t over $40,000 worth of stolen/damaged property. The tow truck couldn’t make it into the parking structure, and Bellagio security did not give us any advice on what we should even do. We basically had to figure everything out for ourselves and thanks to Chivas, we were able to get it to a friend’s house. It’s already a fucked up world that there are low life thieves in the world. It’s an even more fucked up world when our government isn’t going to do anything about it. To the thieves, only God can judge you now. I hope where he sends you in the afterlife, an RSX is dropped on your body crushing every bone you have in your body and then someone takes your crushed bones and rams it up your asshole and you feel every excruciating part of it. This kind of stuff happens in hell. Have fun.

    IMG_8996

    I feel like this whole weekend was an ecstasy trip. There were moments when I thought I was at the happiest moments in my life with some of the best friends a person could ever have. We laughed, we drank,  we paid a stripper’s rent, we caught up with old friends, and made new memories with new friends. The comedown hit me so hard I didn’t even know if I could ever get out of this black hole. I’m sorry Jeff that this happened to you. You’re a great human being and you will get through this, better and stronger than before. Thank you to all the friends and family of Royal Origin who posted and gave us leads to the missing items.

    Living in FUCKING SURVIVAL

    We weren’t sure how this meet would turn out and honestly thought that the first spot we picked would be sufficient enough. Reason is because we used to have meets at Tastea and that lot is way smaller than the Genki Living spot. Nimo, Jennifer, and I were still on our way home from Vegas that evening and by 8:30PM, Alex texted me that the parking lot was already getting packed.  I just told him that we’ll figure it out when I get there, thinking it couldn’t have been that bad. I was so wrong.

    IMG_6404

    The parking lot was so packed that it was difficult to even walk around. It was a cluster fuck of cars.

    IMG_6405

     As soon as we arrived, we decided it was time to move to the second spot, which was M&M Donuts.

    DSC_5650

    Garden Grove’s finest giving tickets. They gave our friend Anthony a ticket for jaywalking…mother F.

    IMG_6409

    Only photo I got of a car was this Yellow Type R in front of Genki.

    IMG_6411

    The streets were packed, filled with modified cars everywhere.

    IMG_6414

    LS460 that was coming late to the party just followed us to the next spot.

    IMG_6424

     Pogi Fresh leading the way; it was like a parade of cars heading to M&M.

    IMG_6418

     Damn, our meet only lasted 20 minutes before it got rolled.

    IMG_6436

    The M&M Donuts lot was 5 times bigger than the Genki spot and we filled that up quick too.

    IMG_6428

    Quick shot of Mikey’s xB rolling by.

    Leighton got a sweet spot in front of the entrance.

    IMG_6494

    Sweet beetle.

    IMG_6487

    KSANCHEZ and KJOHNSTON.

    IMG_6486

    This spot ended up getting rolled on too; they gave Angelo a ticket for being too low and this time they put non-correctable. Might be a $500 fucking ticket.

    IMG_6468

    Useless crew came out to kick it.

    IMG_6467

    S2K’s on the roll.

    IMG_6476

    Clean Miata. I am in love with the red paint!

    IMG_6502

    We moved to the third spot just in case the cops wanted to shut down M&M’s too. This time, we only invited close friends to Tastea.

    IMG_6496

    Amir’s 911, recently featured on Stance Works!

    IMG_6509

    The Vegas peeps tried to surprise us & left Vegas 20 minutes after us so they can catch up, but Chivas ended up having oil filter problems and got stuck in Barstow. We ended up driving back to get them with an oil filter. Nice try guys, it was the effort that counts.

    DSC_5686

    Nice shot of Gerald’s Work Equips.

    DSC_5695

    Another shot of Minh’s IS250.

    Miguel couldn’t afford new wheels, so he just powder coated them.

    IMG_6564

    Wish I had a wide angle lens…

    IMG_6559

    350z galore.

    IMG_6553

    All the RSX’s were jealous of the 350zs and wanted to park next to each other too.

    IMG_6565

    Man was Sam late…

    IMG_6568

    I always get cool photos of Matt’s S13.

    IMG_6536

    Thanks everybody for coming out and dealing with all that bullshit from the cops, assholes doing burn outs, and bitches speeding in the parking lot. We’ll find a better spot where we can regulate the traffic and not get kicked out by the police. Peace!

  • Thursty Thursday.

    Thursty Thursday.

    Water rolled down our faces, and our worst fears became reality when the rainy clouds appeared. All week long, the summer rays were shining bright as ever, but on the night of our meet, nature decided that it was thirsty for some rain. Hours before the meet, we were still debating whether or not we should have the meet or postpone it because at 9pm, the weather forecast predicted thunderstorms. Like all of our previous meets, we decided last minute that the meet would continue and we didn’t really care who came out because we had to get our Peach Me Sweatea fix. I rolled up early and to my surprise, there were already a gang of cars. I didn’t know there were people as down as us to kick it even during thunderstorms.

    Cars were constantly coming through; the Tastea lot was overflowing with rain and cars, so people started parking in the fire lanes and handicap zones.
