Tomorrow while everyone's still asleep, we're breaking out the beast (along with 13 other cars) and we're going to town to stir up a lil' trouble. It's gonna be a fun…..and long ass day.
Marylin Manson has been one of the most controversial artists of the 90's and while I'm not the biggest fan of Manson (or Mickey) this picture is dope.
Love him or hate him, he's a creative genius that provides twisted and powerful imagery both in his album photography and music videos. I'd like to see this guy direct his own horror film.
Andy Asupias, a former feature in HH, is out reppin' the brand at the San Fransisco Auto Show and with the exception of a new set of wheels the car carries the same swagger it had when we first featured it and it's still the cleanest (and classiest) 300C we know of to date.
1,100 hp HPF turbo BMW x no hood pins vs. Syline GTR = flying hood. Watch and weep….then again….what else would they have expected? LOL.
Here's another angle of what went down.
Look at those fat bastards.
I know…I know….wide body Supras have been beaten to death but this one should turn out pretty sick. It's been sitting over at Platinum VIP for a while and it looks like it's finally moving up in line. LOL. I'll post more pics up when it's done. This thing should look pretty good.
You can't tell in the pic but the most of the kit was done in carbon fiber.
A lot of times we're jaded by our surroundings and a victim of our environment which is why international coverage has always been a necessary must in HH. Since our premiere issue we've been featuring coverage from all around the globe and it's simply because of the fact that it's good to know what the rest of the world is up to. You see here in America exotic cars come by the dozen and we're used to the staple wheel and tire upgrade, but rarely do we see anyone take it over the edge like they do in Japan. From full blown custom body kits, to hand made exhaust and custom air bag setups (yes I said "bags"), Japan is going all out and they're not afraid to treat their exotics like a youngster does a Honda. They paint 'em, sticker 'em up, drop 'em and thrash on 'em every chance they get.
A few more teaser photos of what you can expect.

Here's a few shots from the bi-annual Dolce Cruise in Japan.
If you havent noticed by now we run deep. HH: Internationally connected and well-respected.
I've seen some pretty outstanding homes both big and small but the most impressive and useful upgrade I've seen is the addition of a stand up pisser in the bathroom. This is about as dope as a lift in your garage and if you think about it, it's pretty much the same thing. It's a lift that helps let you drain out cleaner – and with less spillage. LOL.
I'm not well versed in the world of art but I do know what I like and Peter Saul is currently at the top of that list. When I first walked into his opening of FIVE NEW PICTURES I was blown away by his use of colors and controversy to create a flooded yet sensible canvas. Even better is the simple fact that he's a genuinely nice artist that looks nothing like you'd expect. After looking at his work I had actually expected Peter to look like an acid-induced hippie walking around frantically but he's quite the opposite. Rather, he's a polite and well-versed artist that is very sincere.
Midway through the show, Peter took the time out to talk to my sister and I about his younger days as an artist. He had mentioned that back in the day he was intrigued and fascinated by the idea of shipping out pieces and getting cash in return. Since then, those days are long gone and he now enjoys attending his own events and for that we're glad as it was great to meet him and when the monies right we'll definitely be getting one of his pieces.
So the computer's back up and I got these photos out from last weekends JTuned Show that went down at SuperAutobacs in Stanton. Platinum VIP was out in full force and Kennedy brought out the beast (his motorhome) as well as the Ford Flex and a few other rides. Check that huge HH on the back of the RV.
Lot's of HP was at this show including Edmunds sick ass twin-turbo widebody Cadillac. When it's done, the motor is supposed to put out 1,400 hp.
Here's an outside shot of the Castrol sponsored beast.
This old school Honda Civic coupe was sitting fresh on a set of BBS mesh wheels - this makes me want to fix up my beater. LOL.
Yellow centers on this Scion xB was a bit loud for me but the wheels are straight out sick. Again…BBS Mesh.
Our project Ford Flex was on display and the Killer Glass piping had people amazed and trippin.
The "Bach" of Jenny's head. Another homie and true OG from way back in the DUB days.
Over the weekend we shot down to all three of Patrick Painter's galleries (2 at the Bergamot Station and as well as one Melrose). While all three showings were good my two personal favorites were Jim Shaw's as welll as Peter Saul's so here's a few flicks from the event – there's more to come but I'm waiting to get back my other computer – which took a shit. The most significant thing about the openings was the fact that three major artists all had their openings on the same night. In light of the economic turmoil, P and SooJin doing it big and bold and the artist and homie John Newsom put it best when he left this comment about a recent post on P.
"Here’s a recent quote from one of America’s greatest voices in Contemporary Art, the writer and critic Dave Hickey, from last November’s issue of The Art Newspaper with regards to the then speculative economic outlook: “One day one dealer may say to himself: ‘I’m going to gather power the way Leo did, I’m just going to show stuff I really believe in.’ That’s going to really change things. And the art world as we currently know it will disappear.” -D.H. Now, I’ve had that quote pinned up on my wall for a year now knowing all along that the dealer that Mr.Hickey must be referring to is Patrick. Much Love & Respect, News
Check out this sculpture. Want one? It'll cost you a cool quarter - quarter of a million that is.
One of my favorites from Jim. How he does this with a pencil is beyond me…I'm still trying to master stick figures. LOL.
Here's the original video of the second half of his remix.
DJ Mike Relm does mash ups and video/ music mixes that are sick. CHeck this one that mixes in clips from the movies: The Spirit, Transporter 3 and Punisher: War Zone.
Earlier this week I was blown away by the sight of diamonds bigger than a baby's first turd and then on Friday I was left speechless when I kicked it with the homie Twin at his meat distribution center. By days end he ended up lacing me with some ultra super duper steak and seafood. I'm serious, I love food just as much as cold hard cash (go figure…'cause you need one to get the other) but this time around I was left bug-eyed and drooling. No joke here folks, I have never in my life seen crab legs and lobster tails of this proportion! Let's just say it's ridiculous.
These UAE Rock lobster tails are HUGE (28-32 oz.) and bigger than the full lobsters you'll get over in San Pedro. Even better is that they're rare as fuck and imported from Dubai where customers are willing to spend up to 1,500 Dirham (around $500) for one lobster! (more…)
THE BEAST.
