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.

Garage Highlights
The past few days, I have been working on my car trying to get it finished. Here are some highlights from working in the garage.
Pulling out of my little garage spot and getting into a larger area, ready to put in work.
It’s always satisfying to have that space to yourself, where you can focus and get your hands dirty, fixing and tuning everything until it’s just right. The garage becomes a sanctuary of sorts, where all the tools are within reach, and the satisfaction of a job well done is just a few steps away.
If you’re spending a lot of time in your garage, having a reliable garage door is essential for convenience and security. Whether you’re renovating your workspace or just upgrading your home, professional garage door installation and repair services can make all the difference. For a more refined look, incorporating finishes like Calacatta marble in adjacent entryways or countertops can add a luxurious touch to the overall design. Complementing the space with outdoor mats that last can also help maintain cleanliness and durability around high-traffic entry points.
A smooth-operating garage door ensures easy access, protecting your vehicles and belongings while giving your space a clean, polished look. For those in need of top-notch garage door services, All Star in Utah is a trusted name that delivers expert installation and repair solutions.
With their experience and dedication to quality, All Star ensures that your garage doors are both functional and durable, making your work in the garage that much easier.
As garages evolve, so do the technologies that make them more efficient. Electric garages are a game-changer, offering modern convenience and enhanced functionality.
If you’re looking to upgrade to an electric garage door, Cocheras Electricas En Torreon is a great choice for those seeking quality and efficiency. These electric systems provide smooth, reliable operation at the touch of a button, allowing you to spend less time worrying about manual labor and more time focusing on your projects.
With advanced security features and the ability to automate your garage door, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your space is both accessible and secure.
If you are lowered to the point like me where your stock jack and low-pro jack do not fit under your car, you probably know about the drive-over-wood routine to get that extra clearance.

Early Mornings and Night Risers
I don’t usually wake up at 6:30A.M., but when I do, I like to spend my time at Cars and Coffee in Irvine. I remember when Shavi, Vinh, and I went to Wekfest San Francisco last year and met John from Mayday Garage. He asked us how old we were and we all responded with over 20. He said that we were at the age where we were either going to be heavily ingrained into the car scene and can’t turn back or we were going to put this hobby behind us. The Cars and Coffee meet is full of the people who are in love with cars and are deep within the automotive scene. Cars and Coffee draws people of all ages, races, and backgrounds together. You can see all types of car modifications from track-oriented to hot rods.
The cars at Cars and Coffee are kept extremely clean, like this Porsche 911.

People of Awesome!!!
A couple of weeks ago, we met up because it’s been a while since we last saw each other. We decided to kick it with a close group of friends, nicknamed AWESOME PEOPLE! Yeah, that’s right, awesome people. It’s funny how this group on Facebook came about. The group started off with people who were showing with Royal Origin for the 2011 Autocon show. Gradually after the show, our friends started to add people for fun and now we have a huge group of awesome people posting up everything, from drifting to people’s penis. What’s especially cool about the group is that we all share a common hobby, cars. We don’t just drive ordinary cars, but we drive AWESOME ones. The day we all decided to meet up also turned out to be the day that we would do a mini car meet on top of Diamond Jamboree. Fun Fact: Diamond Jamboree is pretty much the hangout spot for awesome people, so if you want to kick it with us just hit us up at Lollicup. Anyways, the little car meet ended up turning into somewhat of a photo shoot. With so many cool cars, it was hard not to take pictures. So here is what I have for you.
This awesome Miata you see below is Zayan’s. Believe it or not, Zayan claims that this is his raised ride height. Stupid crazy if you ask me!

Factory: Kung Fu Federation
My good friend Hanh asked me to help him out by shooting his clothing brand Factory. We met up bright and early on the sketch side of Santa Ana, where people ask to use your phone every other minute, but also where run down buildings make interesting photo shoot spots. Hanh has been designing clothes for years and has a very creative mind. He is one of those people who doesn’t care for the fame and fortune, but just loves to design. He expresses himself through his clothing brand Factory. I have been a fan of his work since the P.I.G. days and continue to admire his work. Now I would like to present to you guys Factory: A Kung Fu Summer.
A basket full of ideas and inspiration.

Royal Origin Summer
School is out and summer is here, so we got our short shorts, rounded up the homies, and went to the park for a BBQ. David, being as generous as he is, planned the event and bought all the food for us. He grilled some delicious burgers and Korean BBQ for us. We had a good time and there were good vibes. Some of us got friendly rounds of basketball in and even played tag. We haven’t seen each other as often as before because of our busy lives, so it was nice that everyone came out. A meet up with Royal Origin also means a car meet, so the parking lot at the park looked like a full blown car meet.
Here is Jimmy’s fresh-to-death Civic…
Charles took out the Q45 for a tan along with Nick’s SC400. Nick’s SC was lowered the next day, so watch out for that! Should look sick.

Baby Daddies
This past Father’s Day, I hit up two of my good friends Patrick Daguio and David Uy to do a photoshoot. Patrick drives an 06 STi and David drives an 05 STi. Both are rocking Te37SL (I had no idea until we met up haha). These two guys are both young fathers that have a passion for cars. It’s not easy modding cars while having to care for a child. However, both are able to work hard to take care of their families and at the same time, mod their cars. I thought I had it hard with a girlfriend and a car. Big props to these two.
Volk Te37SL love.
Patrick rolling on 18×10 +15.

Local Beach Burger Meet
If you like nicely-modded European cars and love bomb burgers, then this car meet is for you. Every Tuesday, there is a Euro car meet hosted at Beach Burgers in Huntington Beach. Alex has been inviting me to go for weeks and I have always been busy, but I finally put in some time to check this meet out.
Some clean V-Dubs hard parked in front of Beach Burgers.
