Hard to go wrong with a white 997.2 GT3RS
white_rs

New A7 showed up courtesy of Commonwealth Audi – hatchback? Not really…CLS competitor – yes. I like it.

Heritage color 458 showed up again – someone locked down the color on L4P I think, I had a giveway on this blog that nobody won LOL.

Interior made me want hot chocolate with marshmallow’s for some reason…
458_int

True Bianco showed up as well.

Can’t forget the Lambo’s ๐Ÿ™‚ – a new 550-2 Bi-Colore showed up. Lamborghini really making an effort to exploit the last of the Gallardo chassis lineup LOL.
bicolor

Paint the top, add some “exclusives” and charge $20K more…good business model, can’t hate on that.
bicolor2

These guys were there too ๐Ÿ™‚ – if you don’t know, you better ask somebody! Ruf has been killin it since before I was born LOL.
ruf

Straight Autobahn steez. (How Jay would say it)

ruf4

Had to stormtroop someone again…people always looking at the camera LOL.
ruf5

The legend himself…Mr. Yellowbird, Mr. 200mph. Mr. Ruf. Google him if you don’t know the stories…some amazing stuff and a helluva nice guy.

Art in the Streets : MOCA.

After seeing this on The Hundreds blog and mentioning it to Irv -figured this was one of those “have to make the trek out to LA” type deals. Runs thru August, so no stress otherwise, but I had to take the opportunity to checkout the likes of Shepard Fairey, Mr. Cartoon, Estevan Oriol and of course…Banksy. I’m not an artsy fartsy type guy so this won’t be an indepth analysis, just my opinion of what I saw that interested me and I thought was particularly cool- check it out for yourself and make your own judgement!

Shot of where they held a skate demo on opening nite.

Impressive collection of spraycans…I’m gonna do this with Lee’s coffee cups someday.

View from the second level – different perspective.
persp

Mental note: Always be the guy doing the actual spraying, not the “assistant” LOL.
van_sp

So badass….you guys gotta recognize this image.
banksy1

banksy2

So many people were stopped in front of this – one of my favs.
banksy3

So you’re think you’re having a bad week?
banksy4

Another one of my favs, since I’m a toy collector LOL.
banksy5

Neat.
trains

So off the chain.
mctoon

Mind blowing.
wall

Shepard Fairey’s stuff (OBEY) – jumped the shark? YES. Still cool? YES. For sale in the gift shop…YES LOL.
obey

Trains on the wall…unreal.
train_room

Closeup – reminds me of a book that a buddy had in HS, all on train graffiti.
train_room_cl

And of course…for all my homies reppin LA all day, everday. Respect.

Was nice to get out with the wifey and checkout something “cultural” – hey, I’m expanding my boundaries…I even tried a new ramen place out there (it sucked). Hit me back with opinions, thoughts comments…hope everyone had a nice easter weekend!

Met a legend today.

So many updates to post, been such a busy past month or so. Check back for a bunch of new content in the next 48. I still need to send out some prizes as well. Hope everyone has a great Easter.
Special thanks to Phil for the shot ๐Ÿ™‚ ย Caption for a prize: I’ll start – “You drive a what?” hahahah.

eGarage Collabo | LBGP 2011

Had an opportunity to work with one of the most talked about new sites coming up – eGarage. These guys are seriously going to change up the game and have some amazing people behind the scenes. Don’t sleep on em’ – they’re coming with a style/feel that is unlike anything out there. Click the link below to see the flickr set I produced for them at the LBGP / ALMS.

Click Here for the entire set.

Cars & Coffee 4.9.11

A nice turnout – particularly because I was able to catch the SP Twin Turbo SL I missed last week. But to start off, MBZ brought out the Fashion Police LOL.
IMG_3833_rev

Gonna be tough to outrun this thing.
IMG_3857_rev

Unless you’re in this.
IMG_3883_rev

Because it has THIS. Twin Turbo kit via Heffner Performance. Did I mention it was a 6-speed? Radio delete (who needs a radio?)…all in a Gallardo SL. Excuse my language, but frankly, this car is “Tits”. LOL. I’ve always wanted to use that and it makes me laugh…Ryan Roybal, that ones for you.
IMG_3888_rev

My dream Gallardo on it’s way out…No, that’s not a real stormtrooper; however, if you get in one of my shots and I really like the shot but you look like an idiot staring at me, you’re gettin trooped.
IMG_3940_rev

Interesting bright blue R8. Notice the Chinese characters on the bottom of the door…
IMG_3870_rev

First one to tell me what this says wins a price (yes, I really send out prizes) – I happen to know already (thanks AW!) but want to see if anyone recognizes it off hand.
IMG_3877_rev

While we’re talking about the R8…check out this thing. As the story was told to me, the sideblade for this guy was actually “copied” by the R8. The original designer of the R8 designed this thing first…and then the R8. Okaaaaaaaaay…I’m still gonna cow tip this thing if I ever see it on the road.
IMG_3913_rev

Jeffrey and his buddies new Seal Grey CGT showing up fashionably late LOL.

C&C 4.2.11

It’s been a tough few weeks for C&C as we’ve had rain on the weekends more often than not, but some good stuff came out from last weekends event.

You might recognize this Bentley ContiGT from some of my previous SEMA pics or C&C pics…used to be matte black, now a nice shiny jet black! Really sets off the Veilside kit – I’m really really really glad he repainted with jet black as the ContiGT from Platinum Motorsports holds the grail on the matte black Veilside CGT market.
IMG_3751_rev

Another angle. Sick with it.
IMG_3829_rev

Mean lookin Soarer stanced out. Drop a supra motor in this guy and call it a day.
IMG_3764_rev

The homie RJ mentioned to be sure to checkout the 917 in the back, happened to catch it on its way out. So fresh…drove in as well, no trailer LOL.
IMG_3773_rev

Checkout those doors ๐Ÿ™‚
IMG_3782_rev

Off to Starbucks.
IMG_3783_rev

The guys from Stanceworks made an appearance…Has Stance jumped the shark? To each his own, but gotta respect the passion for modding.
IMG_3790_rev

If you don’t know, you better ask somebody. Yes, this is a Toyota…old school, heritage, rare…you name it.
IMG_3800_rev

2000GT…
IMG_3801_rev

The original BMW M car…
IMG_3812_rev

You always see something out of the ordinary at C&C ๐Ÿ™‚

Cool opaque gray colored 997.2 GTR3RS brought out by Walters. Heritage color.
IMG_3676_rev

Another angle…def. feelin it.
IMG_3686_rev

They brought this guy too…maybe you’ve read about it. GT2RS.
IMG_3680_rev

Dry Carbon on Blood Red. Amazing combo.
IMG_3685_rev

Caught this one on the way out, not sure if it’s Mexico or Riviera Blue (leaning towards Mexico) – nice whale tale and black side guards to bring in a little old school flair.
