Here's the fourth widebody Dodge Challenger that was just completed by Top Flight Topo.

Once done..this Challenger will tuck a set of 405/25/24 Pirelli tires and from what I hear it will have a 12-inch lip. Look for any one of them at the WCC booth in front of South Hall or the Asanti Wheels booth.

How many nipples doe she have? Two.

Look for more coverage in an upcoming issue of Heavy Hitters Magazine. This was the first time in a while where I've been to a party where the girl to guy ratio was at least 4:1 (and maybe only one out 10 were fugly). Big ups to Onxx and Chaz for getting us involved.

It's been a quick minute since I last checked my mail and I found a box of goodies including this invite from Kicker to attend their annual Kicker Big Air Bash. Oh wait a second..is that the new issue in the background? Sure is!

On Tuesday we hit up the studio with our Ford Flex and it's finally (well almost) done. The boys over at Platinum VIP finished it all off and to be honest the past week has been nothing short of chaos and organized confusion. Needless to say….nothing good comes easy and anything easy is no damn good. Sorry for the lack of udpates but my ass is tired and running out of time. More to come…..

Yup..that's right. This is the same Ramona's that makes those garbage ass frozen burritos but if you get 'em fresh at their plant over on Western it's served fresh. But trust me….a few hours later you'll be dropping soft serve. Definitely a messy situation and a horrific aftermath.

Six orders of Green Chili burritos for Edgar…

….an  hour later Edgar looked like he was having heat flashes and a bad stomach ache.

When Kennedy (Platinum VIP) and his friends aren't working on project cars they're usually on the set of full length feature films. But despite being Hollywood's most sought after stuntmen/ martial artists they're still always nice enough to invite us to their shoots. (See Below)

Here's a shot of them on the set of Kung Fu Hustle 2.

FLIR thermal imaging unit on the FLEX. Don't trip….we'll be releasing photos of our project car soon.

SpecMan rear view mirror with the FLIR unit on display. It's amazing what new technology can do nowadays and I hear if you point the unit towards the sky you'll see some pretty scary stuff.

Always on point. Topo's creating static with all of his widebody Dodges and this is just the beginning of what he's got planned.

Feedback is always good regardless if it's postive or negative and to be honest I like to hear what's wrong with the magazine but I also like to hear what's good. Here's a comment we just got in this morning and it's times like this that make it all worth while. Thanks Jarret. 

post FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

"Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitude toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it. I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-today basis Is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bank account, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me. It alone fuels my fire or crushes my hope….When my attitude is right there's no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, And no challenge too great for me." -Charles R. Swindoll

It's amazing how the internet has changed the face – and the pace – of business. Nowadays, it's created an immediate form of communication that no longer leaves you the victim of snail mail or even fax machines but as with anything nothing is completely fool proof. Last week I shot on over to the homie Patrick's to watch him do some online transactions from his home office and the setup was clean and simple. He had his Mac hooked up in his home office and he had his staff set one up in his booth in France (at a French Art Show). 

dsc01548.JPG

To kill time we watched the best scenes of The Dark Knight like 30 times. 

The customers would login, they'd talk over Skype using the computer cameras, do their deal and voila – a transaction was done. And we're not talking about selling a t-shirt or some little knick-knack, what we're talking about here is the sale of some of the world's most sought after art pieces. As a matter of fact, the day prior to me getting there he closed (in his first hour) deals that totaled more than what some small companies do in year or two. - unfortunately the night I showed up the connection over in the convention was down.  Needless to say, P's a man on a mission to take over the art world and while he's already considered Los Angeles' premiere art dealer he's looking to build an empire so be on the lookout for Patrick Painter Inc. 

dsc01543.JPG

Doin' damage. From Chrome Hearts bracelets all the way up to a custom 4.5 carat ring, P's jewelery game is sick with quality and this is definitely not your run of the mill garage jewelry. We featured Patrick and his Versace Edition Lamborghini in issue 3 of Heavy Hitters Magazine and if you got a chance to read up on him then I'm sure you'll agree that he's not only got a great story to tell but also a wealth of information to share. 

dsc01545.JPG

Check out this custom badge that we designed and had made out of Rose Gold and diamonds (white and black). So was he a DEA agent? No….but he is retired from the game. LOL.

post GOOD LUCK? ALBINO PRAYING MANTIS.

Yesterday I found this praying mantis chillin on the doorstep and left it alone. Later that night it was chillin on the wall by the pool and this morning I found it inside the house? While my first inclination was to burn him with a match and a can of hairspray I looked it up on line and they're supposedy good luck so back to the garden he goes. That's one ugly as mofo.

post LESSON FOR HOWARD…HA HA HA.

So a few weeks ago Howard put me up on some crazy ass pastrami pizza from the Downey Pizza Company  so now it's my turn to let him know about some killer Italian sausage from the LBC. Now I'm no food critic but this shit was good so get up on game and pick some up from the Sante Fe Importers Delicatessen over in Long Beach. At the same time I'm not going to act like I found the spot because my boy P put me up on this spot and as always he has good taste – then again…it's his business to have good taste so I wouldnt expect anything less.

Some gourment ass chocolate cake with gold leaf to top it off.

Here's a sandwich from Larchmont ( I think that was the name of the place.)

Don't leave me around your car with a bag of Jelly Belly's on a hot day. Here's a custom side marker I did for David on  his SC300.

dsc01532.JPG

And here's a collabo effort done with Fernando. This shit is sa-weet and offers his once boring car mad flavor yo. Ha ha ha.
