We couldn’t possibly have ended our TAS 2013 coverage without dedicating some space to one scene that has come to define JDM car culture just as much as extreme tuner cars, vintage rides and dorisha. As we have seen in the course of the last few years VIP style has proven to be the fastest [...]
91 cars. That’s how many 86s/BRZs/F-RSs were on display at this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon. Never in the history of this show has one car been quite so popular. However what really makes the hachiroku, and its other guises, stand out is that it seems to have been adopted by pretty much every single car [...]
From time to time we like to break down our event coverage to the micro level. We’ll spend time looking at a very specific part of an event, sometimes it’s paintjobs, sometimes it’s wheels, sometimes it’s engine bays and occasionally it’s something else. I figured Sunday’s Autofashion VIP Festival would be the perfect place to apply this strategy with a look at some old fashioned Wheelhunting.

Just to balance out all the Nissan's you have been seeing, I present you this Honda NSX. I found this car for sale on the global Auto website thanks to a tip from the JDMego blog. When I was looking at the ad for the car I noticed it was already sold to a lucky [...]
We already had a look at some of the popular Japanese “racing” wheels, as well as plenty of vintage Japanese wheels, and now it is time to finish up this “Cool Japanese Wheels” series with a glimpse into the world of high end multi-piece and other “lipped” wheels that can be found on everything from [...]
I wanted to continue on Mike's story about the VIP style. I had this picture as my wallpaper for a very long time, because I just loved the look of the Black FD on chrome Weds Bvillens. I consider the car, just like the RX8 in the back, build in true VIP fashion. But I [...]

Most normal people in the USA spent Memorial Weekend with their families; barbecueing at the park, or hanging out at the beach or something. Not me. Even though I was invited to a bbq/party at San Francisco's Baker Beach area, I wasn't able to attend because I was doing photo shoots of cars with aggressive [...]
