N1 Concepts Sale Day-FAIL

Couple of my friends and I were waiting for that day to come. As some you might already know I'm carless at the moment, yet I haven't lost the passion for them. Edson and Irvin were the ones who were actually looking forward to do the "shopping."

We woke up early and headed to San Anselmo to visit Johnny at his workplace, some expensive coffee place.. Everything was smooth until I went in and let go the door, the stupid thing slightly hit my camera, I was so mad and started swearing.

In the same way, I felt out of place, bunch of Hispanic kids walking into a yes, hella expensive coffee place at a white rich town is just funny and weird...hella weird.. We didn't blend at all, specially when this kid called Tarcicio, a really dark mexican kid (he says he is 19 or 20, but looks like a short 29 year old) who looks like a pedophile creeper who will even rape the man of the house walks in front of the group with a papparazzi camera. Literally everyone was looking at us. Oh yeah I forgot to mention Irvin, short Salvadoran, with a round head. This mother fucker swears like nobody in the world. Every sentence has a bad word and gives the feeling he is always mad, except when he laughs.

I think even our white wash style in some of us, didn't even blend, it was that rich white. Luckily Johnny saved the day. I'll post a picture of that kid, one funny kid. He called me a fag (in Spanish) as soon as he saw me. I'm pretty sure he did the same thing with everyone. We were supposed to meet Edson at the place too, it was easy to find him in the middle of the white crowd. He got some food, and finished it all as everyone looked at us.

Tarci having some breakfast burrito, guy was so hungry that almost ate his fingers.

Edson and his gf having some white bitter coffee, people looked at Edson how he ate his food with out the help of any eating utensils-fork.

Then Tarci decided to have some bitter coffee too, planning what to creep next.

That short dude with "city" hoodie is Irvin, right there where you see him he was swearing, maybe on how Edson walked next to him, and I quote "watch it bitch, walking like a fag, swear mother fucker" Irvin.

As we left, we divided in two groups, I went with Edson and his gf in the EG, while Tarci went with Irvin in the EJ coupe. A green also "halo" status paint, but a bit brighter than Edson's.

As we drove away and into the freeway towards our destination - N1 concepts- I realized why everyone loves Norcal, we all are connected by three bridges, even though one of them is not that popular-cough richmond bridge-is awesome for taking pictures. I snap a couple of panning shots of Irvin's coupe, which is starting to look clean. Can't wait for that kid to get more parts.

After a long drive we arrived and the place was still close, minutes after they opened. We went in, Edson and Irvin and Tarci went if the place was the ToysRus for their edge, just to find a big disappointment. They didn't have shit for their cars, nothing. We hung out for a little bit, looking around the store, couple cars that were outside, I talked to some "cat" who might sell me his red hatch. Tarci went wet when he went creeper status on taking pictures of couple of racing cars that they had in the back. Irvin ended up buying a CTR grill, then we bounced to WEKSOS. Once we got there, Irvin couldn't even talk I had to order for him, so many cool parts and no cash. He bought the ASR subframe brace and the LCA for his coupe. James was really polite and friendly, as we walked out we appreciated the beauty of a clean integra that was sitting outside. That car smelled good even from the outside, it was a show status car.

We headed back to Edson's house where we intalled all that JDM crap into Irvin's car, shit was a pain in the ass, but that would be part II because, Tarci has all the pics of that.

Irvin always serious, and swearing at Tarci for being...I don't know a creeper?

Trying to figure out who has a the biggest head, of course Edson won by a bid difference.

Edson was so excited when we got to N1 that he even popped the hood like if he was at a meet or show, and it was only a Sale day that no one attended.

Tarci the creeper, pedophile 29 year old. This fool has a dream of buying a chevy truck and pulga the shit out of it.

Showing the middle finger, when I told him to stop giving me the creeper look. I'm serious you gotta watch out for this guy.

Some old school JDM bike at N1.

Spoon word, Edson wet his pants. I used to be like him.

Tarci looking down and thinking nasty about the chevy truck in the background.

Perseids Meteor Rain/ Shower Part II

I'll make it short, I texted some of my friends to let them know what was going on, and then headed out with my cousins to pick up a friend that wanted to go and take pics.

As we got to her house she flake, kind of disappointing until she told me I could use her tripod. We headed off to park in the cuts, where there were no city lights, I set everything and started to take pictures. We hadn't even spent 10 minutes at the place when the sprinkles of the park turned on. I had to rush out of the place, we all got a bit wet, but I was just happy that camera was still dry. After that episode we headed to china camp. We were barely starting to see the stars when some mother F... appeared out of the blue. I mean, we were in the middle of China Camp, an state park aside from the city, which is quite hard to get to by just walking, and yet we were still in the cuts and this guy appeared asking for water.

I was taking pictures of the hill, I took at least three shots of the hill with the road, and the sky, and then I heard the steps on the gravel. I thought on graving the tripod with the camera and have it ready as a weapon. There was no moon that night, just the stars so it was quite dark for me to see. Right after the steps, I heard the guy saying "whats up" and asking for water. I of course told him I didn't have any. My cousins saw him and we saw how he disappeared in the dark. Weird people out there.

In the last two pictures there's a variation of shadows, I guess the shadow is the guy.

So here are the pictures of the Perseids meteor rain. I will post the story later.
I know there are no meteors haha.

Sunglasses + Louie (FX show)

I love sunglasses, and I have quite a few. Surprisingly for those of you who know me, the dominant brand in my sunglasses collection is Vans. They just came out with a collection that has an unique pattern, they have "tiger stripes" in different colors, these and the ones that have the checker on the side are my favorites.

Just part of the collection

Rio Red.

Zebra Blue.

Louie

We all love comedy shows right, and nowadays there's a bunch of them out there, but sometimes their way of fun is missing something. Some of them are just stupid, and not funny at all; the script is poorly written or actors are just too fake. About a month ago FX came out with their new show- Louie. The main character of the show is a comedian who appears at a local comedy show every friday night, and on top of that he's always sourrounded of unique events. Both when he talks in the comedy show, and the events are hilarious.

I like how the show is funny and sometimes throw a little bit of critique to some governmental and private organizations out there.

Small clips of the show.

Edson's EG

What a day, it looked like it was going to be a day that I was supposed to spend it at home with my uncle. However, the day changed quite drastically when my teacher called me that she had a recommendation letter for me. I had to commute to school, and once there the sponsor picked me up. I thought I was getting a full ride but I was wrong she left me quite far away from where I live. Once she dropped me off I realized I was wearing some shoes that fit me so tight that I can't even walk a block when my feet are hurting. But I still love them.

Anyways I was in a death march when Edson called. This kid is the owner of a soon to be a "clean EG" nonetheless the car is fast. He was just letting me know that he was on his way to my house to drop off a dvd-car related.

I had walked around a mile and I was 2 miles away from my house, when I heard a familiar sound, it was Edson's car. I got so lucky to get a ride home with him. My feet were hurting, once we got to my house we decided to watch The Pursuit of Function.

The Pursuit of Function is a documentary about Hondas, and the passion that us, the owners have for these cars and their potential. We finished watching the DVD, and realized that had nothing better to do than go cruising and have a mini photoshoot. The sun was still high, and bright.

Headed to a couple of different locations. His car has a "Halo" status paint job, yes halo-the famous video game among xbox users.

Surprisingly in the last stop that we made it was really cold, therefore we didn't spend that much time there.

Here are the pics. Edson has put a good amount of green in his car. Recaro seats, full coilovers, lower tie bar, spoon shift knob, and a sparco steering wheel with a quick realease. Car is looking good, I can't wait until he gets a new paint job.

I love the view that this place has, specially the view of the Richmond/San Rafael bridge.

This is Edson - jerkin!

More of Edson and his car.

Now only the car.
