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[...]

I'm not going to do much captioning for this post and just post a few photos from Final Form[...]

With the correct guidance of tuning and support from a small group of friends, one can build a pretty bad ass FD RX-7. That's exactly what @clayspec aka Clay Barnett did with the guys from Final Form USA. Check out behind the scenes photos by Dennis Nguyen of Clay Barnett's Mazda FD RX-7 Super Street feature below. If you haven't had the chance to pick up the iss[...]
Straight from Chiba, Japan, Nate's RWB Porsche 964 arrived late January 2017 (yeah, I'm hella late posting this). I got to tag along with him and his dad to the Arrival of 'RWB Kana' - Houston Automotive Photography.... A few days after coming back from the Tokyo / TAS 2017 trip, Nate's 'RWB Kana' arrived to Houston. He had planned to pick up the car with just [...]
