Thank you Mr. Wong. Love the old school sticker!

So earlier while chillen at borders I decided to cut up my gloves so that I can use my iPhone. Yeah iPhones aren’t glove friendly so I grabbed a pair of scissors from seattles best inside borders and started cutting the glove’s tips.

After cutting the tips tho I ended up keeping them since I figured if ever my finger tips get cold, I have something to cover them with… Yeah I’m a genius. While hanging out tho I did use them and they ended up looking like small beanies. Another genius idea was conjured up in this brain of mine and came up with my mini finger thug army. Yes they look Asian. So what… They’re all fierce and they will tickle you till you bleed. Or um… Other stuff… You get the idea.

Yeah I’m an idiot… Hey it makes my life fun.

Took this with the iPhone and it came out real nice. Reminds me of the Apperture logo. Kinda sorta hehe.

Leaving Las Vegas

Happy thanksgiving to all and since people always post some sort of turkey with some fixin’ I’m stepping out of the norm.

Be safe, drive carefully, and enjoy the yum yums!

Last SEMA for the very first time, OS Giken brought out one of their legendary engines. This is the first time this engine has been here stateside. Can’t believe that this thing produces well over 300hp n/a and it’s over 25 years old. Incredible. There is only 6 of these engines built and all of them are in japan. I didn’t take pictures unfortunitely since I wasnjust there hanging out with my buddy Mark from OS and Reggie from ARK Designs. But I did get this nifty old school catalog showing the part list. Btw this engine head alone cost $22k. Steeeeeep! Don’t know if they can still build one to this day. I’m sure they can but it’ll cost well over the previous price since all the tooling parts are probably gone or got erroded through time. I still want one of these for keepsakes. Man just the valve cover alone is a work of art. Flawless indeed.

Here’s a video of the engine in action.  Amazingly epic.  Just hear that sound and the power that it produces.  This thing is old school rock and roll man!!

Took this the other day before my run. Inspiring somehow.

In the Eneos Booth they were giving out calendars and whatnot for the girls to sign. But to offer them some sort of challenge, and perhaps get a kick out of it, I had them sign one of their giveaways. A key chain car. It’s about an inch and a half big so it’s gonna be a trick to write on it. Props for them for making it!!  It’s funny how Jenn barely did tho.  She had two more letters for her last name and she didn’t even get the chance to write it hahaha.

It’s something different and I bet something that they haven’t done yet.  Plus we were bored for waiting for the damn day to end.  At least this kept us entertained for a bit.  Some dude tried to jack it too.  That bastard good thing we caught him.

In case you’re wondering… You’re right, this is how I spent my SEMA week.  Just hanging out, few meetings, then hang out again.  Over it =)

As many people know, SEMA 2009 is happening this week, and being in the industry I have to go… Yeah not really stoked about it but I mean I’m here to have fun too and not just to work.

On the first night few friends and I just decided to take it easy and just chill in and lounge out somewhere.  Unfortunately by that, it meant I’ll be running around everywhere in different bars and clubs.  Being a Monday in Las Vegas, it’s usually really dead.  And as expected it was.  Chilled at the patio of Lavo which is located in Palazzo.  Had a few Hennesy drinks and beer but after listening to the crap music they were playing at the time we decided to book it and move on somewhere else.

Next move was at V-Bar located at the connected hotel, the Venetian.  Yeah this place is totally dead with a few hicks dancing around that provided us with some entertainment.  Still continued drinking and sticked with the mellow night plan.  It’s just the whole slow jam music playing on a “club” that ruined it so made us bounced to another spot.  Spot I actually like.

Oh Revolution Lounge and Bar how much do I adore thee.  Just across the street from Venetian it’s inside Mirage.  Revolution is part of the Cirque Du Soleil “Love” by the Beatles… Hence the name Revolution.  Love this place.  Rarely packed but they play some of the best music.  Nice and chill spot to top off the bar and club and lounge hopping night.  This place never disappoints.  This is where I ended up meeting up with Anna, Stephanie and Huan.  And decided to grab some 25 cent hooters wings.

That would be Anna on the right Destroying a plate of 911 wings. She's hardcore like that.

What was planned as a chill night turned out to be a fun drunken party.  Come to think of it, most things I do becomes a fun drunken party.  After calling it a night at 4am, got to Palazzo, slept, and woke up at 6 for SEMA.  2 hour sleep FTL!!  Doing this all over again in a few hours.

Here’s the FD, G37 and G35 at the south hall whored out with stickers. But those stickers come with a free Forza 3 Video Game. Yaaaay

Worst part of sema besides walking around the convention halls is preparing for it. And by preparing I mean wiping the Cars down… And that’s about it lol. This car is going to the Seibon booth.  All snaps are from my trusty iPhone
