Terminal 27 | Event Coverage

The energy at Terminal 27 was palpable as car enthusiasts, music lovers, and A-list celebrities gathered for an unforgettable evening. I was honored to have my SC400 displayed at this exclusive event, where the fusion of automotive artistry and high-profile glamour created an electrifying atmosphere. The guest list was nothing short of spectacular, with appearances by Hunter Scharf, The Weeknd, Jennie from BLACKPINK, and the multi-talented Willow Smith. From the sleek, polished cars to the live performances that kept the crowd buzzing, Terminal 27 was more than just a party, it was an experience. Services like www.fastfirewatchguards.com also help ensure that high-profile events like this remain safe and compliant, so the focus stays on the excitement and celebration.

My friend Sara, who always seems to have her finger on the pulse of the most exclusive events, extended the invite that brought me to this extraordinary night. She knew my SC400 would be a perfect fit among the dazzling displays of automotive excellence. Here we have her famous CR S2000 on TE-37s.

They had unlimited servings of onigiri. I was here most of the time.

They were giving away samples of edibles and even had people rolling blunts for people.

My carpool buddy, Raul’s Nissan R31 on Watanabe wheels.

Sara brought out all types of cars to display.

It aint much, but I love it.

Ultimate JDM vibes.

Shout out to Sara for always putting me on to some cool parties.

Karuma Vs Lowballers Round III | Event Coverage

Feels like I’ve been here before, a Friday morning meet up to cruise to Vegas for a car meet, but this time with different faces. It’s been two years since I have given any effort to get back into the car scene and after a depression phase I really want to get back out there and hang with friends that I haven’t seen. The Karuma x Lowballers meet seemed like the perfect event for it and cruising with the homies to Vegas just brought back some nostalgia.

Like I always do, try to get some nice rollers of my friend’s cars. This is Kekoa’s xB rolling slammed on the 15. @alowha_kekoa

We stopped at a McDonalds to wait for Kekoa and ended up seeing a bunch of cool cars.

We asked where they were going and they were also going to Vegas for the Karuma x Lowballers meet.

We ended up going to In-N-Out to fix Kekoa’s air problem. Cuong’s E30, Kekoa’s xB, my GR86 and David’s FJ Cruiser. Oh yeah I bought a GR86.

@seldoondrol clean E30.

After being saved by AJ we were back on the road for more rollers and this time accompanied by AJ’s T-Demand Camry. @ayeeejayyy.

The day of the meet, everyone met up at the Airbnb to cruise together to the meet. Miguel’s Minty Porsche. @mintcoimports

Vince built his LS430 just in time for the meet! @vince_neil

Someone we haven’t seen in a long time, Neel’s LS400 on Work Schwert SC4. @implayaz9

The Lowballers boss, Andrew’s LS400 on TE-37s. @sohigaragedru

Karuma always making the coolest trophies for their meets.

The meet didn’t even start yet and we got people here early for merch.

Jay did a suicide trip in his NSX for the meet! @jaycraaay

Nimo accompanied him on the way to Vegas in his IS300. @findingnimo

Fast and Furious but make it cute.

Shout out to this girl for cosplaying in 100 degree weather.

First time trying Guam food and damn it was so good!

When Taylor gets on top of a car at a meet, bitches go crazy.

Thanks for the good times ridahs!

Studio Sesh with Sara’s S2000

Sara came by OC Product Photos for a little photo session with her CR S2000. Vu and I got some killer photos of her S2000 in our big studio.

Vu getting some video in for a Forza video thing he’s been doing.

A quick wipe down of Sara’s clean S2000.

Maybe, I’ll start posting again idk.

SEMA 2021 PART TWO | Event Coverage

We’re back with part two of SEMA 2021 coverage, I didn’t plan on coming back to SEMA for day 2, but I was picked up by Miguel to hang out. When he said he wanted to hang out, I didn’t think he meant at SEMA.

Coming down the escalators, we got to see the Hoonigan burnout pit in action.

This is the goodest boy at SEMA.

This is the baddest boy at SEMA, Chivas Sotelo.

Spotted Yogi out and about and Miguel looking so in love with him.

Unfunctional and low? Sign me up.

The new Type S looks pretty nice! I wish I didn’t just get the new TLX or I would’ve waited for this.

This awesome Honda S800 which is the predecessor to the Honda S2000.

I was fanboying for a moment when I realized it was owned by Daniel Wu from the Badlands. I’m really sad that they cancelled the show, it was supposed to be a modern take on the chinese saga, “The Monkey King” series.

A classic livery on the latest Supra. Now enjoy this compilation of Supras I saw at SEMA below…

The new Corvette still had me speechless when I saw it for the second time.

It’s now a show without RWB.

This Jimny from Car Style Japan is so dope.

Rocking a never released FTP box sticker.

Jaw dropping FD that had a crowd around it every time I walked by.

Thanks for checking out this year’s SEMA coverage! Maybe, I’ll be back next year!

Hawaii with AP Garage | Car Feature

I don’t know what it is, but I had this post saved as a draft for at least 5 months. Writing blogs only take a bit of my time, but damn I can never get myself to start. I literally have this opened up everyday, but I couldn’t get myself to start it. The procrastination is real, but I’m really going to try to be a more productive person, so maybe more posts, more merch? Only time will tell. Sorry Taka, Mikey and Matt for taking so long on these photos.

Mikey and Taka’s clean S2000s on the beaches of Waikiki.

This red and black theme is so clean.

Hawaii vibes in a photo.

Matt’s Supra.

Shout out to AP Garage for setting this shoot up!

Brekkie Car Club held a car meet at the newly open Rodeo 39 Public Market, it was the first convenient car meet that I have been to for a while. I had my social distancing lens 135mm lens and got some pretty good photos. Check it out below!

Taylor’s LS400 at OC Product Photos

This past year I got an opportunity to work at OC Product Photos, where we mostly shoot products for online shops. The studio however is big enough to shoot cars, trucks and even large sprinter vans. Taylor has been meaning to come through for a shoot and we were finally able to line something up. Check out some photos I took of Taylor’s LS400 in the studio.
