The next issue is in its final design phase and from there it’s off to print where it’ll sit tightly in que until it’s time to be printed and released. This time around we’ve got more of that good stuff and the thing that sucks is that by the time the next mag comes out it all seems like old news to us – I guess it’s because we work three months in advance. To top it off we submerge ourselves in each of our features and make sure that the design, the editorial and the pictures all serve as good representation of our featured profiles. But even with all that work and attention to detail we still make mistakes but then again….who doesn’t? LOL.
Here’s an intro page – and teaser – of one of our upcoming articles.
A shot from one of our road trips from a few weeks back.
Yup…you’re seeing right….it’s the Premier 4509 kit for the Lamborghini Gallardo and the renderings may have looked great but seeing the kit in person takes it to a whole other level. IMO it’s the best looking kit for the Gallardo so far.
Either someone farted on my pillowcase or I’ve been lookin’ at way too much poo-kang-kang because now I got conjunctivitis aka Red Eye- but I guess it’s kind of a good thing. Being sick sucks but sometimes it actually helps out. Case in point….Yesterday I went to a few meetings with my sunglasses on and during the first one I blew enough meat snot that the guy wasted no time locking things down. During the second one, I took my glass off half way through and the guy freaked and said, “Is that contagious?” and as i rubbed my eye and pointed it at him, I said, “Yeah.” And he replied back….”Uhhh you should go dick, but yeah…I’m down with whatever you want to do. Just call me when you’re better.” It’s funny how pink eye creates efficiency…now if only every meeting could be this fast and straight to the point.
OK…so now it’s time to catch up on all this shit that’s gone by and it’s time to get back on the grind. I had another meeting last night with someone that knows what I’ve got lined up for the upcoming issues and after talking to him he convinced me to stop sand bagging. So fuck it….we’re just gonna go full blown with what we had in store and not release things in stages.
Got a meeting at 1 with RepWreckerOG and we’re gonna go stir up some trouble.
Don’t rock 26-inch wheels on your Caddy if you don’t know how to avoid huge boxes on the fwy. Ha ha ha….here’s a flick of Victor’s wheel after he challenged a metal box!! You’re a champ foolio! LOL.
Looks like Joe’s back at it again and this time around he’s finishing off the final stages to his new 1958 Impala. If you’ve been a frequent visitor to the site then you’ve probably already seen his other car, Hustler 63, so you already know what to expect. On his latest project, he had the firewall completely shaved and here’s a snap of Mister Cartoon doing some of his infamous handiwork on what will eventually become The Hustler 58.
At first glance the new Mercedes Benz E-Class is ugly. It looks like a domestic version of a 5-Series BMW but just like the fat chick that sits next to you in class – or at work – they eventually look normal and sometimes make their way to enticing. LOL.
The front end is dope. The rear….uhhh….looks like an old school Lexus LS.
In Alabama, police pulled over the driver of a Porsche Carrera 911 and after searching the vehicle they found 10 keys of cocaine in two hidden compartments. After a year of legal battle the crook got locked up and the Porsche then became property of Hoover PD. From there they threw on a wing, custom paint and decals and now the it’s part of their fight against crime.
In my attempt to shed some weight I’ve dumped my montain bike in exchange for this beauty. Yup…the TreadBike! It’s supposed to be the new wave of fitness for those in the know and I can’t wait to try it. Ha ha ha….but seriously….it’s time to drop some weight so no more hanging out with Kieth and his food binges.
I’m still trying to get over this flu bug and I’m convinced that the best way to get rid of it is by giving it to someone else so I think I’ll stop by the office tomorrow and spread some flying meat snot. Besides, it’s better to give than to receive so why not share? Right? LMFAO.
So earlier this morning someone close to me called me an “asshole” and while I’m sure they meant it in the most sincerest form I could personally give a rats ass because I’m not an asshole – I’m just blunt and call things as I see them. Besides…at the end of the day it’s all just a part of the daily grind and there’s no time to take shit personal – at least not in this lifetime.
When Oscar says, “Hair”? We say, “Where?”
Ha ha ha….you gotta love this guy for playing along. If you haven’t checked out the latest issue of HH then be sure to scope out Oscar’s widebody BMW M3 which graces the cover.
It’s about 11pm on Sunday and I just woke up from nap number eight and still feel like shit so my advice would be to go and get a flu shot if you haven’t already gotten stuck. Seriously…the strain of flu that’s going around this year is angry as fuck and had me in bed most of yesterday and today.
Phase 1 of the revamp.
This past Friday I went by Top Stitch to check on my interior and let’s just say that these guys don’t play. They got the center console, door panels and headliner all done within a few days and by the end of next week they should be done with the full interior. Check back for more pics. (more…)
Woke up at the butt crack of dawn on Saturday to shoot on over to Cars & Coffee and the event was good but not great – like the old school days of Crystal Cove in Newport. Regardless, there was a good turnout of cars and it was good to run into some old faces like Air Gary. Interestingly enough, we also happened to see the third black Versace Edition Lamborghini Murcielago! Most of you already know that there are a total of 20 Versace Edition Lamborghini Murcielago’s and of the 20 there are only THREE black ones.
My boy P owns one of them, another guy over in Calabasas owns another and the third one showed up at Cars & Coffee rockin’ Texas plates.
The Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing is a piece of automotive history and you can thank Max Hoffman (Daimler-Benz’s officiatl importer in the U.S.) for making it all happen. Back in the day, it was Max who convinced DBAG management in Stuttgart that a street version of the 300SL would be a commercial success. His prediction proved to be correct as they Daimler Benz would go on to sell more than 80% of the vehicle’s total production - approximately 1400 units were sold in the US. (more…)
In between working on customer cars and project bikes, Alan is also juggling the filming of another season of Chopper Challenge for CMT. Last year we featured his impressive “glass” gas tank bike that he built for Monster Energy Drink and this year he’s got some plans to built something even more insane.
Finally back in town and have tons of photos but you’ll have to wait for our feature coverage of THE CONSPIRACY in an upcoming issue. Here’s a few for now. Photos by Edgar Hoill.
This was definitely a trip. I saw this BMW parked over at the Santa Anita Mall on Sunday and as we rolled by I spotted a huge HH sticker posted up on this rear windshield as well as a small one up on the front. Definitely a good thing.
It’s amazing how many cars you’ll run into throughout the course of the day and it just goes to show you that people are still pounding the pavement and stackin’ those chips.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
