Roll out... new wheels for this guy.... 24" to be exact...

So being the announcer at all these drift events and car events people wonder what I drive... Well, on the daily I push a Nissan Armada... I want/NEED to get some sort of project car, hopefully coming sooner than later.... ;) But in the mean time I need to hook up my daily driver.... I hooked up the Armada with some new rollers, 24" wheels for the big beast... Thanks to Pirelli Tires, KMC Wheels and for sure Discount Tire for the hook up, always a good experience at Discount Tire... Pirelli took care of me sending me the rubber needed for the wheels, next stop Discount Tire... Stock as we show up... Check out Formula Drift driver, Dai Yoshihara on the wall of each Discount Tire... Nice hair! As always! Hooked up the hard working DTC crew with some NOS Energy Drink and gave the Asst Manager a Discount Tire colored Incipio Dotties case for who he thinks deserves it... The wheels are KMC Brodie 24" x 9.5" btw.... NOS in the lip... Parker's feeling the wheels, they're HUGE! Mounted now time to get it on the ground and roll out.... Check it... Thanks everybody, looks good... Should I lower it, of course you're going to say yes but it's a daily ya know...

Delayed Blogs…

So some of you may had heard that I went to Japan this past weekend for Spring Matsuri… We had practically zero internet access so my blogs are a few days behind… but I will be posting all about the weekend as much as I can (Formula Drift Atlanta starts in 2 days!).

Last minute plans finally came together and Joey Redmond from Wrecked Magazine and myself headed out last Thursday to catch the event for the weekend. Hundreds of cars show up and drive on all the tracks of Ebisu for two days straight. All through the night too!

I brought all my ContourHD cameras and my point and shoot to record the madness that would be happening all weekend. Here’s a couple teaser pics…

More Japan’ness coming soon!  

 

Rebel 8 Clothing

I got a package recently from a brand called Rebel 8. They make a wide range of artwork and clothing that is all made in house. Every piece of artwork is hand drawn and not altered with digital enhancing in any way. The founder’s clever means of hand drawn art and guerrilla marketing built this clothing brand up to be internationally recognized.

Here is a couple of the shirts that they make…

And they also sent me this sweet jacket!
