Headlight.

With all this heavy rain going on in socal, something bad happening to my car was inevitable. What's funny is the last post was probably also a result of the rain but anyways, check it out.

Nice huh? Btw that isn't on the outside. I guess there wasn't a proper seal...meh.

Long Ass Day...

I can't even describe how bad this day went, so I'll just post a picture to show a glimpse of one of the worse days I've had in awhile. This was actually taken on Wednesday, when things kind of fell apart.

My Friend Judy.

The other day I had the opportunity to spend some time with a great friend of mine. She’s someone I would consider a BFF and she feels the same about me because I’m awesome, right Judy? Anyways, some of you have probably heard me bring up her name before and if not then you just don’t hang with me enough, haha. These days it’s pretty difficult for us to hang with our conflicting schedules and what not but somehow it worked out in the end. Below are some pictures I took with my phone; nothing too crazy, just the usual spots we hit up when we’re in the Fullerton area. 

 

 

 

AutoCon L.A.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend AutoCon, which was held in the City of Industry. It was a car show and toy drive in one. Some of you might remember Team Transport holding their annual Toys for Tots drive, well same concept here.

Well as far as I can remember, there has never been a car show held in an underground parking lot in Socal. Of course Norcal has their JDM Theory or WekFest shows, this one being different being that it was in Socal and it was also a toy drive.

Anyways, the show itself was dope. Anyone familiar with the scene would recognize the usual rides but it was good having new things to check out. If models were the reason you went, then they had that. If you were hungry and wanted food, on the top floor of the parking lot, there was three different food trucks to choose from. Music? Yup, got that too. Then, with any car show you look for the goodies. The free stuff...and they had free model signings, free energy drinks (YES! AGAIN!), free NOS sunglasses/stickers/lanyards, other stickers, and FALKEN BAGS! I actually went to the show by myself but after walking around for a bit, I bumped into a couple faces I knew. One of them being Ryan, who I actually went to college with back in the day. So I started walking around with him and his scion buddies as I took more pictures, grab more goodies, and also having his homies spot out the next female to take pictures of, haha. Yeah...so on with the pictures!

First thing I see when I walk in was this minty, clean ass hatch.

Walking around for the first time I didn't realize this was Ryan and his HFD (Hela Fass Dooo) crew.

Ryan's ride. Not too shabby eh? More pix later.

Who took this? Me, duh!

Sick ride. Didn't realize it had a Covette engine at the time.

Seen this ride come a long way. Nicely done Eric.

Carbon fiber wrapped IS? Crazy.

This Evo is money.

I <3 this Matrix.

The purpose behind this show: TOYS FOR TOTS!

Supporting the cause.

This guy was everywhere. Later that day I saw models taking pictures on this mini bike.

 The more I see this car, the more I'm loving it. (Sorry McDonald's, it's my saying now.)

This car is the reason why I fell in love with the A3.

 Model FAIL #1...FML! I gotta give this model (Raichelle Viado) props, she was smiling and friendly for the 

whole show. Seemed like a nice girl. =]

Model FAIL #2...FML!! Chaba's been around for a minute. Glad she's finally getting the recognition. Thx for signing my poster! Hehe.

 Everytime I turned, she (Jewelyn) was dancing. Props, for having the energy I didn't. =]

 Free energy drink #1!!

 

Really liking this picture. So professional, haha. I'm joking. Isn't Julie May cute!

 The picture taken after Ryan successfully placed his IT'S JDM YO sticker on properly.

 Check out three food trucks! Oh, and Ryan posing with his homie, thinking I was taking a picture of him.

 This booty...err beauty looks familar. Check out the Gymkhanna album to see what I'm talking about.

 The DJs doing their thang. Props, props.

I'll end it here.

Tito's Tacos!

Last week I drove Aarcee to some nursing school in Signal Hill (LB Area). On the way back we were hungry and decided to stop and eat somewhere. I'm not sure if many of you have even heard of this place but it's suppose to be poppin'. Anyways, this was my first time there and honestly it was better than the average taco place. The taco itself; as you can see, is bigger than the average taco. Check it out if you ever get the chance.

Motor Mavens - Mass Appeal & Ken Block's Gymkhana Invitational

It's been awhile since I posted hasn't it? Well, as some of you may or may not no, I created another blog which is dedicated to the homies. You can check it out here... Fam'Ly . Also, I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving and I hope everyone got some awesome things on Black Friday.

Now back to the post...yesterday I had the opportunity to attend a car show but this wasn't just any ol' car show. This one was actually a little collabo done with Motor Mavens - Mass Appeal and Ken Block and his "Gymkhana Grid".  I rolled to the show with Anita and Mikko, with Nate and Ryan rolling behind us but we also meet up with some other homies there. This was actually my first time seeing drifting being done (legally) and it was...sick. You see dope ass cars doing what they do best...going sideways, the sound of loud engines rumbling and tires screeching and that heavenly smell of burnt rubber in the air, AMAZING! Haha. With this show being a first, they made it extremely fan friendly, we got autographs and photos with Ken Block himself, as well as the overall champ of the night and a nice f'n ass dude...Tanner Foust. Btw, Tanner Foust beat Ken Block in his own event. Not too shabby eh? I took tons of pics but I do apologize for the blurriness of the drifting pics that I took. It's not even an understatement when I say I am a photography AMATEUR. Anyways, enjoy the pictures as I have a little something for everyone, the creepers, the car enthusiast, drift fans, Ken Block fans as well as the other drivers and if you are lucky enough you might even catch pictures of the surprise guest...Rob Dyrdek. 

The pictures go chronologically from walk around, rear-wheel drive round, walk around, burn out round, all-wheel drive around, ending with one last walk around.

Note to self: Just because energy drinks are free (variety of Monsters and Rockstars), doesn't mean they should be consumed one after the other in a short time period.

 

If there is an event by Mr. Ken Block, then DC will be there.
