I thought my flight was going to involve lots of Xanax and alcohol but fortunately enough all it took was music videos on my Archos.
Once we landed we were greeted by our driver Sergio and he had everything ready to go including cold water, wet towels and Evian misters. How's that for service?
On the way up to the Villa we passed by a few private residences that were being built and they all looked like baby fortresses. Many of them had huge entry ways with guard centers and gates and one of the homes is said to measure in at a whopping 60,000 sq. ft!
Entrance to the villa.
Here's a shot of the infinity pool at the villa. The pool wraps around the back of the house and it also has another channel that flows directly into the middle of the home. There are also privacy dividers that can separate the pool into three different sections and let's just say that the house is absolutely bananas and trust me when I say that these pictures do it no justice at all.
During the day, the weather is hot and sunny but come night there's a full blown light show created by the thunderstorms that roll through. More pics to come tomorrow…..
We first featured Kennedy and his Lexus LS460 in issue number four of Heavy Hitters Magazine and since then my inbox has been flooded with readers looking for his contact information and shop location. So here you go…….

That's right….you saw it here first. The battle between body kit companies is at an all time high but this time around Strictly Foreign is shitting on the competition. Let's face it, a huge handful – if not most – body kits are complete garbage, but Strictly Foreign (SF) has is importing a new BMW X6 wide body kit that will blow your friggin' mind. The wide body kit comes complete with new front and rear bumpers, front fenders, rear arches and side skirts and it's the best body kit we've seen to date so be on the lookout for a full feature in an upcoming issue of Heavy Hitters Magazine. The kit will be available in August.
WE don't sleep and we're hittin' this weekend hard. We've got troops out in full force everywhere from the Gumball all the way to Nightshift in Pomona, Funkmaster Flex tomorrow, the Ruff Ryders event as well as Rock the Bells. Speaking of Rock the Bells, check out Big Herm Dogg (DUB Magazine) showin HH some love and keepin' shit real. Thanks for the flick Jo Jo.
At 5 a.m. while most of you were playing Circus Vargus with your sweat pants, the crew at Forgiato Wheels was already hard at work for what I think might be their next ad campaign. Since it wasn't too far away I met up with Topo and the boys to chop it up and here's a few snaps of what went down.
Pablo and Gary from Forgiato Wheels.
The one thing I have to say about Gary is that eventhough I had just met him this morning he's probably the most effective (and most consistent) marketing dudes when it comes to getting his companies products out there. For the last year or so, he's sent out a huge amount of emails but each and everytime they're packed with the necessary information and pictures. Meanwhile, everyone else wants to send me a long ass, fluffed out story with shit images and on the flip side you've got the companies that sit on their ass and never send out shit at all. But that's a whole other story.
f you go and rent a Lamborghini Gallardo, it’s common sense that you take care of it. It’s a supercar worth over 100,000 euros, not your average reasonably priced car. Such wasn’t the case with a group of late 20’s asian men, who attended a wedding with a whole fleet of supercars, rented of course, consisting of 3 Lamborghinis and a Bentley Continental GT. British tabloid The Sun reports that after they arrived at the wedding reception, the group of men went for a drink and started bragging about their rental cars and how one of them took a car to 160 mph. Feeling all brave, they decided to take one of the Lambos to it’s limit and immediately left the reception. What happens when you mix alcohol and a powerful car ? The car was found crashed in a tree, with no trace of the asian men. Witnesses really enjoyed the exotic crash, actually taking bits out of the car or sitting in it.
Here's more proof that most celebrities don't know what the fuck they're doing when it comes to car customizing. The bigger question now is, Who's to blame? The celebrity? Or the company that fixed up their car? Here's the Hoff (David Hasslehoff) standing proud besides his hideous Mercedes Benz CLS. Please talk to him K.I.T.T.
Today's definitely a good day. The word for "eight" (八，捌) in Mandarin (Pinyin: bā) sounds similar to the word which means "prosper" or "wealth" (发 – short for "发财", Pinyin: fā). In regional dialects the words for "eight" and "fortune" are also similar, eg Cantonese "baat" and "faat". There is also a resemblance between two digits, "88", and the shuang xi ('double joy'), a popular decorative design composed of two stylized characters 喜 (xi, 'joy', 'happiness').
On another note, Happy Anniversary to P and Soo Jin for celebrating their third year of marriage and what better day to do so then today, 08.08.08. You both kick ass and I wish you nothing but the best in wealth and health.

So far this is the best looking Dodge Challenger I've seen but I'm still waiting for someone to come out with a version that'll make me say, "Ohhh weeee!" I don't know, maybe it's because it doesnt have a fat ass lip in the rear but then again a bad offset might be the cause. If you're wondering what wheels are on this Challenger they're 24-inch Forgiato Estremo wheels.
Here's another on 24-inch all chrome Stili wheels…again from Forgiato Wheels.
Just when you thought you'd seen it all, Super Buy Tires has just announced the debut of the world's first production 32-inch wheel and tire package for the Hummer. These new rims and tires mark yet another milestone for Asanti Wheels and the new 32-inch rim and tire package is limited to only 10 sets for the entire world. So how much will it cost to be the boss? Exactly $38,000 for the set.
Call Super Buy Tires now if you're interested. There are three styles available and they're all wrapped with 335-30-32 tires. Don't sleep.
Back in the 70's and 80's, extreme widebody kits were all the rage but as the years have passed they're disappearing and pretty much long gone. Sure they're an antagonstic addition when it comes to aerodynamics and overall performance but you just can't beat the brute appeal of muscular flares and buldging bodylines. Today, supercars (and aftermarket bodykits) are conservative, sleek and attractive but none carry the charm and character of the cars below. Hopefully wide bodys will make a comeback someday soon.
Koenig Widebody SL.
1979 Porsche 930 Turbo

You've seen this orange Gemballa CGT enough times in Heavy Hitters Magazine to know that it belongs to Prinz Marcus but this time around it's in less than stellar condition. Look for more pictures and details in an upcoming issue.
Click here to see video footage of his car during better times.
If you know Marcus then you already know that he can instantly make the best out of any situation.
Brad Williams knows what's up regardless if he's on stage or off. You might recognize him from the show Mind of Mencia and now he's taking his humor on the road as a stand up comedian. He's currently on tour and headlining next week at the Improv (Brea) so be sure to check him out.
