Went by Locsters to check out some old school wheels and ran into a whole garage full of memories. From SSR Neo's all the way down to SSR EX-C Fins, Tony had it all – well almost.

What you know about SSR NEO's? Yup…..that's the real old school O.G. flavor right there. G'head Rich, google it and learn my brutha! LOL!

Old school flavor…new school technology. Look at that stainless steel exhaust.

I know this was a fucked up post but c'mon man…you'd freak out too if you saw this dude over at Jack in the Box. I couldn't help but take a flick of this dude posted up in his white on white Toyota Corolla.

There's a huge amount of controversy surrounding Nigo's decision to paint (or wrap) his Bugatti Veyron pink, but in all reality who really gives a fuck. The dudes built an empire based on the stupidity of American consumers  and unwillingness to save and he should be able to spend his money how he feels appropriate. Besides…most of the guys talking shit on these "automotive" blogs probably couldn't afford to drive a C-Class Benz let alone buy a damn hot dog at Home Depot.

Nigo with his camo wrapped Rolls Royce Phantom. Even funnier is the fact that Nigo actually created his clothing line to cater to the young, dumb and not so rich. You know? The fashionistas – aka rappers – that blow their advances on blingage, cars and everything comical of the sort.

If this picture isn't inspirational then you'd better check your pulse. It was the result of 12 years of hard work, patience and going broke 3x. You'll see the full story….you know where.

Passed by Robert Bliss' pad and studio showcase in Century City to check out his latest work and his shit was off the hook. Complete with full Crestron controls and automation all throughout, his work speaks for itself and if that's not enough proof that he's the fuckin' man then winning the "Installer of the Year" award from The Robb Report twice in a year should convince you.

This is why you don't ever, ever, ever piss off a wild animal – especially the ones that bleed once a month and still manage to survive with no medical attention! I'm serious guys…this poor dude managed to fuck around with one angry feline and look what happened to his car The fucked up thing is I forgot to take pictures of his Bentley GTC that had a kicked in rear quarter panel!

 Jada Toys, Inc. along with General Motors put on a kick ass event last night called Kulture Klash: Cars Meet Art. The art show was a forum of expression for artists from all around the world and their canvas of choice was the new Jada Toys 1/10 Scale Chevy® Camaro® Concept.

The event was held at the Desmond Building in Downtown Los Angeles and it was probably one of the best shows that I've been to this year. Kulture Klash was well put together and fun for what it was. Big ups to Jada, GM and No Bueno.

Went to dinner on Friday with the fellas and Davie brought the sickest collection of Panerais that I have ever seen. In this box alone there was roughly $360,000 worth of watches including (bottom right of box) an original Panerai watch that was worn by an officer in the Italian army. That watch alone is really rare (1 of 17) and the bad is worth $15,000! Thanks for the hookup Gary.

So our friend Ricky went cheap on his barber and it looks like he got the barber finally got the last laugh. Ricky went in going for some type of cute metrosexual mohawk look but now he's walking around like an ass.

 Doesn't it look like Ricky's pet chinchilla escaped while he was sleeping and nibbled on his hair?

Here's a handful of photos of some of the best cars on display. Also….check out Victor (above) jocking the DUB Edition 300C. Wooo hoooo! 

Went to the L.A. Auto Show today and it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. The cars were weak and Kentia Hall – where most of the aftermarket stuff goes – was really, really bad. Kentia Hall actually had a poor turnout of cars and you can tell from the past years that they need some new life in there. The one thing I will say is that the SCION booth was the shit. They had an awesome display of cars and the setup was kick ass. 

 

OK…so Vector – yes…Vector (the great American Supercar?) – is trying to make a comeback but someone needs to slap them silly! WTF? The shots of the ride above are of the Vector being displayed but what's up with the "Supra" headlights and "Rotora" brakes? That's the most pathetic shit that I've ever seen and they should be fuckin' embarrassed that the glass on the side doors didn't even fit and was stuck on with electrical tape.
