In this lifetime what ultimately dictates your level of success is your willingness to persist till it exists. You see, the growth and development of any dream is only limited by the time that you're willing to invest in it, as well as the tears you're willing to shed to get there. It's a lengthy process setback by naysayers and antagonists but nothing in this lifetime is impossible so long as  you want it, so just remember that the only thing holding you back from what you really want is you.  Keep a good attitude and a great circle of friends and failure will never be an option.

Check out Knick's Ferrari F430 Scuderia sporting a sick ass graphic treatment - and we're not just saying that because he's rockin' our sticker! Knick is actually one bad ass dude that wasn't born rich and you'll find a full feature on him and his rise to the top in an upcoming issue of Heavy Hitters Magazine. Photo by J-Rod.

Imagine dropping well over a quarter million dollars for a car….then setting aside another $30,000 for a bodykit….and then seeing it torn apart like this? See who owns it as well as how it looks in an upcoming issue. Photo by F. Guzman.

Joe Ray proudly holding up his Lowrider Supreme tee.

If you don't know then now you know. Joe Ray is the editor of Lowrider Magazine and the President of Lifestyle Car Club but even more important is the fact that he's built some legendary cars that are still in one-piece – unlike other editors I know. LOL….and although he's forced to work with a staff composed of slightly retarded, complacent whiners, he still manages to push through (along with the few that are normal) and he gets the job done. As of late, he's also become an enforcer over at the office so what better shirt for him to have than Lowrider Supreme's "You've been Served."

Right now there's two Lamborghini LP640's being fitted with body kits and it'll be interesting to see who's turns out better. They'll both be done at the same time and as always…you'll already know where to find 'em. LOL.

If you're headed out to Vegas for M-Fest this weekend then be sure to check out the widebody BMW M3 that Platinum VIP just finished painting. Kennedy and his team went to town on the paint job, and the best part about the car is that it runs just as hard as it looks. We took a test run at the engines lowest possible setting and even at that, the car still pushes 700hp at the wheels. Power on the vehicle was developed and fine-tuned by Horsepower Freaks and the custom carbon fiber widebody kit was built and designed by Asuka Design.

Check out the rear tires: Hoosier 345/30/19's! Even with slicks the car barely stuck to the ground.

No test runs would be complete without the police showing up.

You already know where you'll see more of this car…….

We were drunk. That's the only explanation for this photo.

Chris Winters (left) was responsible for this suite party. Be on the lookout for a feature/ future article on this man because you'll be surprised to find out what he owns…as well as what he's got to say.

"Who the fuck is Alan Lee?" Find out in the next issue of Heavy Hitters.

This could only mean trouble. LOL.

Here's a few shots I took while the folks at  Room 101 were setting up for their party inside the Ghost Bar. Also, the word around town was that this was one of the better parties during the show and although I never went to any other parties I can tell you that about 70 percent of the people I knew from this party went home with a goodie bag….and if not at least a "grab" bag. LOL. Look for future coverage inside an upcoming issue of Heavy Hitters Magazine and stay posted for more shots.

Being inside the Ghost Bar is pretty wierd during the day time - gee..that was random and pretty obvious quote. LOL.

Land Rover sales slumped by 31 per cent in the US market in the year to July but strong demand in Russian and Chinese economies almost offset the sharp fall. Hearing shit  like this makes you wonder what happened to our own economy in America? Then again….it's called living beyond your means, overextending your credit coupled with laziness and complacency. LOL…Tata – the company that owns Jaguar/ Range Rover just cut production down on both vehicles and dealerships all throughout Southern California are dumping employees at a record rate.

Lance was out at Chicago's HIN (Hot Import Nights) and was busy puttin' in work and helping spread the word about Heavy Hitters Magazine. Armed with a camera, flyers, stickers and mags, Lance came back and said, "It suprised the hell outta me how many people still havent heard about Heavy Hitters."

Ouch. LOL….but then again he's only telling the truth and we've been out less than a year which is why we're hittin' the streets hard with loyal soldiers like Lance. The power of word of mouth is great and when you've got great guys reppin' your brand there's no telling where and when this will end. Be on the lookout for Heavy Hitters Magazine at a show near you.

Kieth sent in this pictue of the Land Rover Coupe that was running with Heavy Hitters and he took a picture that I can't quite figure out. It looks like it's pieced together but then again it might be from his bootleg iPhone that he got from China. Thanks Maverick.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words but this one here was worth 3.19 million.

 

The Grand Sport prototype went up on the auction block in Monterey with a starting bid of $1.7 million but in the end it sold for a cool $2.9 million dollars. Now when you add the auction premium of 10 percent, it tallies up this Grand Sport Bugatti Veyron up to an incredible selling price of $3.19 million!

So some the girls decided to go out clubbing so I snapped a few flicks before they left.

Here's a few more photos that I just downloaded. I can really get used to this lifestyle. Like Suga Free always says, "If it's good to ya…..it must be good for ya."

This is probably the most retarded photo I've ever taken but while everyone was asleep I had Alberto take me up to the top of the resort to take this corny ass photo.

BREAKFAST: Aside from the French Toast, the creme brulee here is unlike anything you've ever tasted. And while I'm no food critic I can almost guarantee that this masterpiece is unmatched. This is picture number one…..but plate number six since I've been here.

dsc00115.JPG

After eating like a hog I decided to pass by the gym to see what it looked like and after thinking long and hard I decided to keep walking to the theater room to eat more.

dsc00107.JPG

BEEEER! Bohemia Classica and an ice cream cookie? Oh yeahhh…..I'm going to pay thee ultimate price for this. Actually….I'm updating this page while taking a shit that was more violent than the storms that have passed through the city. So was it worth it? You damn right it was!

MOVIE SNACK: Jose Cuervo Reserve and cigars. Again…I got schooled but at least I didn't tap out. LMFAO.

You gotta love these two! They're the most down to earth and charming women that aren't afraid to tell you the truth. Trust me….I know first hand when I first got interrogated by the two of them about my dating habits. LOL.

Tonight the crew threw down with a crazy ass BBQ dinner that had more courses that a junior college. If I remember it in the correct order, the meal started off with water, wine, bread, homemade tortilla soup, salad, rib eye, followed by steak and then out of nowhere the chef asked if we wanted a hamburger? WTF? A hamburger? Where the f*ck did "hamburger" come from?

LOL….right after a good laugh the meal was finished off with flan, tiramisu, chocolate cake and then marshmallows on the beach with a bonfire. 

dsc00158.JPG

Felix about an hour before being totally plastered. LOL. More to come tomorrow…..
