It's 2019... and two iconic cars meet up for a quick battle in Downtown Houston... who took took the victory? History shows that the hachiroku has never been defeated on Mt. Akina... but this... is.. Houston, TX. With all jokes aside, the Panda hachiroku you see above belongs to @pecx and the yellow RE Amemiya FD RX-7 belongs to @shinkuclassics (driven [...]
Be good - Enjoy life - Help others
After being stuck in ATL for 24 hrs in February, I definitely had to come back... so I made the excuse of going to ATL for Gridlife South 2018. I brought along my Sony A6300, 16-50mm lens, and rode mic to see how the video would come out. It's now the end of November and decided to throw something together... the .mov files are quick and painless to edit in Adobe Pr[...]
The Japanese Nostalgic Car Meet - free to attend, bad ass classic Japanese cars, good local craft beer, cool/cold weather, and lots of car people. I'd say this year's turnout for JNCM was pretty good.... not too crazy or out of hand like the Wekfest Pre Meet, but enjoyable without too much concern lol. With that being said, we really appreciate those who attended, [...]
Hi Stranger... It's been a while since my last post, but I promise I'll catch up on what I've been doing in the next month... maybe. Until then, I'm going to start up a new photo series called "The Ricer Series". This will be more of a personal project featuring friends, cars, places, or things to be considered 'rice'. Why 'rice'? Because it's either fuck[...]
Hellooooo. Yes, I'm still alive... just buried with photo editing and marketing work with some sleep and lifting when I get a chance. I haven't blogged in awhile so this is a good chance to just post something... Final Form USA 7's Day 2018 in Houston at Giant Leap Coffee. I'm not going to do much captioning for this post and just post a few photos from Final Form[...]
When is the best time to throw a meet in Houston? I would have to say April after attending Team 5Star OG 2018 Meet... The weather was nice and sunny but not too hot. I would say it's equivalent to a summer in California. So, how was the turnout of Team 5Star's meet? Check below for photos and words... If you're not familiar with Team 5Star, they are a bunch o[...]
When's the last time you've been to a grassroots drift event in Houston? I think it's been 4-5 yrs since I've been to a Lone Star Drift event... Some things have changed and some haven't... check out some of my words and photos of the 2018 Lone Star Drift v.Round 1 (sorry late AF post). The Lone Star Drift (LSD) series event is one of the longest running grassr[...]
How does one miss their flight?? By accidentally not checking their flight itinerary gate and time... 2 hrs before the scheduled flight... yeah... not intentional lol. BUT, it worked out because a friend let me crash at his place for a night. I also had time to explore a little before flying back home to Houston... I was actually flying from The Arnold Classic d[...]
What happens when one of the craziest tropical cyclone hits your hometown and you're away on vacation? You get delayed, stuck, and not really knowing when you'll be able to get back. Read more of our 'stuck overseas' experiences when traveling during hurricane season after our Thailand Budget Travel Trip in 2017... Ok... while we were traveling, we watched the news[...]
Law and I continue our SE Asia trip to Thailand and that's where things get a bit sketchy. I should've known better since we weren't locals and every introduction started with "Hey, Tuk tuk?!" or "Where are you from my friend?!" Read on to see my thoughts of 'Thailand Budget Travel.' Before getting to the part of where we got scammed, Law and I finish up our trip [...]
