  • Final Bout Low Key Pre Meet | Event Coverage

    Final Bout Low Key Pre Meet | Event Coverage

    3 months into 2020 and we are already going through some shit, World War III scares, Kobe Bryant’s death, and now the corona virus. All of these large events being cancelled because of the spread of the corona virus has been a reality check on the situation at hand. It was disappointing that even Final Bout was cancelled and only the drivers were allowed to attend the event. I really wanted to see some sick tandems and styled up drift cars, but the safety of the public is more important. Auto Factory Realize planned a low key pre meet for Final Bout and I knew that was my chance to see some cool drift cars.

    I finally got a new wing for the SC. This is the Big Country Labs cup cake wing with Aero Wolf end plates.

    Rodney decided to wrap his car purple for Final Bout. It looks pretty good!

    Man this S13 is on point.

    I think this is my first time seeing Sara’s  S2000 at a meet.

    The highlight of the night was watching Team Beautiful Boy get their cars over speed bumps.

    Pretty cool to see Boso Style in California.

    Wash your hands friends!

    The Santa Ana winds have been terrible lately and it ended up affecting my blogging abilities and destroying the somewhat clean look of my SC400. My SC was in a pretty secure tent, but the Santa Ana winds pushed my tent against my car and rubbed out some parts of the wrap. Luckily, it’s a wrap because if it was paint, the cost to fix this would require me to take out my knee pads and work some night shifts. The homie Rodney aka Bruno Mars aka I wrap, but I’m not a rapper recently opened up a shop for wraps and tint. He offered to fix my SC door because he had some left over wrap and I gladly dusted off my knee pads in exchange.

    When I got to the shop, Rodney was working on making this truck invisible.

    You can see the damage on the top of my door, I started telling people I got it from drifting. I’m hardcore yo.

    Rodney cut the wrap under my body line to seam it and so we would have enough wrap to cover the door.

    On the other side of the room, Rodney’s partner Dan was installing a clear bra for this Lambo.

    Master at work.

    Just like that, my door was looking brand new! Disregard the mirror..

    Thanks Evolve Film Concepts!

    Rodney also just finished wrapping his Cressida, so I had to get in a quick photo shoot with the new two tone wrap.

    Being old never looked so good.

    I also had Rodney model in our new shirt that’s coming out soon..

    Time is the only enemy. Available in black, white and yellow.

  • 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.

  • People of Awesome!!!

    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!

  • Royal Origin Summer

    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.

    The other night, I went out to get my car’s transmission fluid swapped by Young. His workplace looked like an awesome place to shoot, so I got him to bring out his car for a little shoot while he worked on my car.
