…and that’s only in checking!

NOTE! This is not my ATM receipt! LOL…I’m not trying to get run up on!!

This weekend went by so damn fast and since Friday it’s been nonstop. From running errands,  getting the Audi serviced, to finishing off stories, running to meetings, coordinating shoots and messing around, it’s been chaotic to say the least. Here’s a few flicks from the past two days and there’s even more to post up so here’s just a preview of some of what went down.

The highight of Friday was when this came in hand delivered and if you’re up on your watch/ strap game then you already know what it is and if you don’t then you’ll have to wait till tomorrow to find out. LOL.

Saturday afternoon we hit up a BMW meet and then we were off to go car shopping for one of our buddies. Newport Beach had this brand new Vanquish in stock but it wasn’t the right car/ model or color we were looking for.

So a few hours and three dealerships later, our homie found the car, spit a price and inked the deal for his new ride. The best part was when the finance guy asked to check his credit and my friend started laughing and blurted out, “Uhhh….my credit is OK, but I’ll just pay cash. Is that OK?” LMFAO…now that was some funny shit!

…so by 7:30pm it was time to celebrate with some good ol’ moonshine bootlegged from Mexico and the funny thing is that the guy from the dealership was the one to break out the booze! Seriously…It’s always good to see a friend come up after busting his ass and making wise decisions and while some may see the purchase as extravagant I think of it as more of a reward and a great way to enjoy life. Congrats on the new car Captain!

Work hard. Play hard….and as Chris from M-fest would say, “Jealousy is a disease. Get well soon haters.”

…from there  it was straight to Bergamot Station in Santa Monica to show love and support to the big homie P and of course the talented – but crazy – John Newsom!  It was a great show and I’ll have more photos up of his event up by tomorrow night. I’m ready to crash out.

I first hit up the Japanese restaurant Ojiya (Chino Hills) a few years back when Garie first put me up on game and ever since then I’ve always been back. This time we met up to discuss a possible new editorial section in the magazine and if all the right components click we should have something that’s pretty damn sick and unique to HH. We’ll see what happens and we draw final conclusions next Thursday. If it happens….it’s going to be sick and yet another element that seperates our title from the rest. (more…)

Ringin’ in at just under $3,000 for a set, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires are no joke nor do they last long. These tires will be done and trashed by the end of this weekend and in just a few more hours the Karwerkz & HH crew will be up at Redline Time Attack in Willow Springs for qualifying.

Good luck to Oscar and Ivo.

John with his new stash of air fresheners stuffed in his Snap-On tool box. 

There’s nothing worse than getting into a car that smells like year old french fries stuck between your seats so do yourself a favor and get a JDM air freshner – in specific, the Cologne Smooth.   

These new air fresheners come in about a dozen different aromas but the best ones so far are the ones shown above: White Musk aka “Hot Stripper”, Neo Squash, Sexy Soap and a must have is White Peach.  Since they’re bigger than the standard air freshener, they last longer and smell better so they’re perfect for your car or even your stank ass room. Want one? You can save the hassle of hunting one down and pick ‘em up at Platinum VIP.
