New Year’s Eve is right around the corner and you already know that foundation of any good party rests with the people you roll with so we’re definitely going to kick it off big.

2009 is gonna be a rough but in the end we’ll all be good. It’s also going to be a good time to change the way we live and hustle and as with every new year the perfect time to start fresh. So whether it’s alleviating bad habits, changing the way you eat or simply hustling harder I wish everyone a prosperous New Year. On another note,  you already know that the cops will be out in full force (and pissed that they have to work while we all party) so don’t do nothing stupid and stay safe. Till next year.

Here’s a few of the shots from last nights load up. You can’t go wrong with a white Bentley GT Coupe on HRE’s and a black Audi R8 on Fogriatos. More cars are on their way right now so I’ll have more photos up later.

AC’s infamous orange widebody Dodge Challenger on Air Runner suspension.

Speaking of Dodge…check this one out. Pretty weird.

If you’ve follow my blog you’re probably sick and tired of seeing this car but it’s still a crowd favorite and the baddest Dodge Charger out there. So here it is again! LOL.

The BMW/ Oracle trimaran was sitting out back of the convention center. This thing is a fuckin’ monster!!

Here’s a better picture of it during the sea trials in San Diego.

It’s a quarter to 5 and my ass is still up because I slept in the car on the way back from SD and even worse is the fact that I have to be back up there in a few hours to drop off the cars that didn’t make the time cut off. Now if there’s one thing that I truly can’t stand it’s lagging – and today was a true test of my patience. Two of the cars were supposed to leave on trailers at 11 a.m., and by 6 pm they were still there! WTF? By now, it’s sad to say that I’m getting used to this and as much as I’d like to get angry we already know that it won’t help so why bother?

To top it off, the Charger and the Bentley GT Coupe had too much gas in the tank and as most of you already know, any indoor car show will only allow you to have up to a quarter tank of gas (according to the Fire Marshall) but at the L.A. Convention Center we’ve become so accustomed to “tipping” the attendant that we forgot about the law. So there we are mashing through the City in the Bentley and the Charger and 15 minutes later the Bentley is back and good to go, but Topo’s Charger still has a third of a tank so he ended up having to take it back home since they were closing up for the night!

Either way I know that the cars’ll get there safe and sound by tomorrow….but as far as today goes it was really a cluster fuck of problems! Oh yeah…did I forget to mention that the freight elevator to bring the cars up to the second floor broke down as well?

Check this out. I’ve seen a lot of attempts to do a widebody 2009 Dodge Challenger and no one has come close to the one’s that Topo has created till now. The Swedish design firm Vizualtech put together a portfolio of their working utilizing their 3D rendering capabilities and here’s a few samples of what they’ve created.

OK wait….these are only renderings so I guess that keeps Topo on top of the charts for now.

Topo…you know what to do. Cop  yourself a Challenger and get to cuttin’ man!

Fabulous x Balsarini body kit. Check this 2007 Lexus GS350 that’s being worked on at the shop right now. It’s got body parts and fenders from two different Japanese tuning companies and it’s coming out pretty sick. From what I gather the Balsarini fenders’ll cost you $1,300.00 for the set.
