This time it was a quick trip to Los Vegas. There was time to catch some drifting at Nellis Air Force base and catch the Kings take home a win at the MGM Grand. Some random snaps from the trip:
On our way over to Vegas Drift, all of these Cops has 1 suv pulled over. I don’t know what that guy was doing but he was up to no good.
I must say that drifting on an active Air Force base is one of the coolest things that I have ever seen. What made it ever cooler were these signs posted everywhere.
I travel a lot and I often wonder if I am packing to much for the trip. Here is a general rule of thumb. When you pack to much to fit in a Limo, you have packed to much.
You know its going to be a good game where there is a fight in the 1st minute of the game. I’m looking forward to catching some more Kings action this year.
If you are at the MGM Grand, you have to check out the lions, Dah.
I don’t know what Holiday the 26th of September is, but at this gas station it is cheap hot dog day… Yippie
Last night I got to head on over to the Forza 3 Motorsport party at the top of the L.A. Live Parking deck. I must say, it was a pretty sick event. We got some hands on game time with the new Forza 3 game that Microsoft has been working on for the last 2 years. From the demo’s we played, they have done an amazing job. The cars looked great and so did the tracks. The level of detail was amazing. For some reason all of the games that I have been playing latly only supported 720p. It was nice to see that Forza 3 is full 1080p and makes good use it. We got to talk to the game developers who have poured their blood sweat and tears into the game to make it an awesome racing sim game. They have spent an untold amout of time working on the physics engine, the graphics, and adding tons of content to the game. This game is going to be sick.
Last weekend was Formula D Atlanta. The event was one of the best drift events that I’ve attended. The crowd was insane and the drifing was just as good.
I don’t know what it is about LA, but I’ve seen more pink cars here than anywhere else. Check this one out:
This little beauty was parked at the local Denny’s over on Sunset. Turns out this one was not owed by some unknown crazy person. This bright pink Corvette was owned by Angelyne. Don’t know who that is here is a better picture:
According to wikipedia Angelyne has been appearing on billboards since the early 1980’s. Angelyne compares herself to Barbie, stating that “Kids think I’m a Barbie doll”and, in one billboard, “Barbie wishes she were me.”
It seems that this year is the year of me going to bike events. This event.. Daytona Bike Week. This time it was a blur, in one night, film the next day and them home in the morning. It was intense.
We spent a lot of time filming with Paul Teuttul Sr. from Orange County Choppers, including filming him from the back our our sweet KIA.
Its crazy to see the following that Paul Sr. has. He signed autographs for 2hrs straight.
As usual it wasn’t all work, we did have time to head out with the locals and enjoy the Full Moom Saloon.
Not to much fun though, everyone was still working hard.
Right after we rolled into LA from Atlanta, there was no time for rest. It was time to get to work. This time it was filming Kyle Busch for NOS playing in the sand on his day off. This place was in the middle of no where. No cell phones, no gas stations, nothing…
Well it was time. The Wrecked Magazine office has relocated from our home in Atlanta to one on the West Coast. It was time for me to make the hike our there as well. Basically the trip took about 30hrs and was a non stop trek across the country.
A view looking back..
A view out the front:
I think we drove 40 forever:
Since we were in a rush, there was no time for stopping. You were either sleeping or you were driving:
After a while looking at the clock became annoying. That was easily fixed with the help of a simple gummy bear:
After about 30hrs we made it to LA. There was no time to rest. The next day we had to be out in the desert to filming with Kyle Busch.
So yesterday I got a call from a friend that want to go over to the World of Wheel over at the Georgia Convention Center. I figured why not, out of all the automotive shows I’ve been to over the last year, the World of Wheel was not one of them. Some pics from the show:
While working working hard at SEMA, we descided that working on a million projects was not enough, we decided that we needed todo some work for Spice TV. Check out the results:
