    Night Import Collaboration

    William Lee of Night Import hosted a meet. Shavi, Minh, and I decided to go check it out. We thought that it would have a crazy turn-out, but what we encountered last night was much more than we anticipated. Lines and crowds of people were in the structure that the meet was held at. It was like swimming in a sea of people.

    It seriously felt like we were in the Tokyo Drift movie, getting ready to drift in between pillars. The crazy thing was, we got there when the meet was already dying down. Will told us that earlier, cars were coming in from every direction, and that he was so sure that cops were going to end it. Luckily, no cops showed up, and the meet was a success. (more…)

    WFC Venice Beach 2012

    This past weekend was the Wrong Fitment Crew meet in Santa Monica/Venice Beach. It was a highly anticipated meet since many websites, blogs, and forums were promoting the event. We all planned to meet up bright and early so we could all roll deep together to the meet, but that did not happen. Some of us met in Irvine and others met in Walnut. Fortunately, I live in the Walnut area, so I thought I could wake up 10 minutes before the meet-up time & still make it. Well, that was not the brightest idea. Since I woke up late, everyone else who was caravanning with us ended up being late as well (sorry everybody), and on top of that, the fact that I have an unfunctional car did  not help. We had to take two extra freeways because I could not use the normal 10 freeway (sorry again). But, after all the hecticness, we finally arrived in Santa Monica.

    We arrived around 10:30 A.M. Once we got there, our caravan was lost. There were so many cars coming from every direction, so we had to let people in between us. We waited about 15 minutes on the main street that led us to the parking lot, but we all ended up waiting for nothing because we soon found out that the parking lot was full, and the police were not letting anyone in. We somehow all managed to meet up again and parked in a parking lot across from the event.

  • 3RD POWER

    3RD POWER

    A couple of nights ago I was really bored at home, and could not fall asleep, so I started messing around with my camera. At first I was just taking pictures of things in my room, but that got boring super quick, because I was taking pictures of the same thing over and over again. After 30 minutes or so, I decided to call my friend Gian, and asked him if I could shoot his car. It was like 2 in the morning, but since he is such a good homie and him already being out because he is Mr. popular, he agreed.

    Gian started off in the car scene with a Mitsubishi Mirage he did not go to crazy with the car, just a simple drop and wheels, but hence it being a mirage it was a sight to see. Unfortunately he got into an accident with that car and had to part ways with it. Shortly after he picked up the Nissan Cube which is what he is working with today. Gian is a very picky person from his taste in women to the cars he modifies. He did not want to go with a car that had been done numerous of times i.e. civic, XB, or even a TC.

  • The Return of Celso Nimo

    The Return of Celso Nimo

    So our friend Nimo decided to bring his Accord back from the dead. He decided to debut it on the day of the University of Irvine car show.

    The morning started off pretty early. The plan was to meet at Minh’s house around 9:30, but like usual everyone was running late. Even Minh was running late and he lived there!

    The show started at 10 o’clock, but we did not mind, because we knew we would be showing up fashionably late. Once I arrived I immediately started shooting.

    The first car I shot was Jimmy’s Civic always breaks my neck, especially because of it’s crazy negative camber.

  • Autocon Collaboration 2011

    Autocon Collaboration 2011

    This year’s Autocon 2011 in Irvine, California was a huge success with over 4,000 attendees, 450 cars, 30 vendors, 15 food trucks, and many models who came out that day. We would like to take the time to thank everyone on the Autocon staff that helped put this event together. Even though, the focal point are these cars at the event, it is mainly about the donations and donated toys that this event was able to accumulate for the less fortune for the holiday season.

    Royal Origin & CO

    Here is my video coverage of the Canibeat and Royal Origin collaboration. Over 30 cars met up very early in the morning; we were even able to see the very last lunar eclipse of the year at the same time! Then drove down together as a group to roll in and organize at the show. Once again it was good meeting all our old and new friends to enjoy the day together, even if it was a very long day at that. This was an excellent way to end the year, before the show season starts up again in 2012.
