TAS 2013: MIKE’S PICKS

With it’s vast scale and the sheer amount of mouth-watering cars present, Tokyo Auto Salon is one of those events that we could literally dedicate an entire month to covering. Unfortunately we don’t have the time to actually do that, but I thought I’d go ahead and contribute one more selection of car spotlights from [...]

TAS 2013: GIRLS, TOYS, & VENDING MACHINES

Good evening from an extremely snowy Japan. As I look out the window of my hotel room just outside of Tokyo tonight, I can see nothing but white stuff from a large and unusual snow storm that’s brought transportation across much of the Kanto region to a halt. I suppose we are lucky today is [...]

TOKYO PARKING SALON

I’m quite sure I speak for both Sean and Dino when I say that our adventures at Tokyo Auto Salon so far have been productive, exhausting, and incredibly fun. While my partners continued to attack the show floor, I spent a good part of this afternoon hiking around Makuhari Messe’s parking lot looking for cool [...]

TAS 2013: GREETINGS FROM JDM PARADISE…

Here I sit in a hotel room in Tokyo, jetlagged and exhausted to the point of wanting to use my keyboard as a pillow. I couldn’t be happier though, because first, I’m in Japan, and second it’s time for Tokyo Auto Salon. I arrived from California last night to join Dino and Sean for the [...]

The Tokyo Auto Salon is maddness, pure maddness. Having attended SEMA for the first time last year and now  TAS, I can safely say that the Auto Salon is in a class of its own. First there's the shear amount of quality cars, then throngs of people everywhere, and to top it off, you receive [...]
