If you’ve been following MaydayGarage for a few years, then you know Mayday’s earliest beginnings started off as a caravan to Austin dubbed The Mayday Capital Run. It was originally conceived and planned by our very own JohnP as a way to build a small knit group of people that just want to cruise as a pack. The first few were so successful, we now have a following that travel with us every time we have one of these runs.

Mmmmmm. Burgers.

If you have one of these stickers, you're lucky, cause we will never have this sticker again.

The contingents.

Ahhhh the friendships that were made during this trip...

I'd be smiling too if I got to drive Greg's C63

Greg and I witnessed many sparks fly from underneath this car!

Last NosWeds, we had the Honda City Turbo ii and I posted a picture of the City’s trunk with a compact bike in it. While most knew what it was, there were a couple who have been asking what it was and more info about it; so here it is, the Honda Motocompo (Trunk Bike) scooter.

As I write this at 1am, i’m currently uploading a gig’s worth of photos which is only half of what I picked out. Danh, Khiem, and Mikey are still working on their photos, so I wanted to show a few pictures that we took to hold you guys over until we can make a proper post. Enjoy!

Thomas Pinai showing his son Kai the proper way to build a showstopper.

Thought I was kidding?

This was the line for the bathroom.

Holy crap! Look at the size of those earrings!

This SC had matching wheels and bike!

This SC however was showing under our booth. It suited our style, so we dug it.

meanwhile, we had Danny's S15 next to our booth as well

and Dennis' NSX finished out our all Japanese showing for Team MaydayGarage

We were selling our second run of serialized stickers, and shirts!

RC car drifting was much safer than the real deal in the convention center

Damn that's low

We saw a lot of ginormous wheels at Wek'Fest like these rotiforms on this kouki S14

Big wheels look right at home on this Vertex Ridge kitted SC.

You couldn't help but stop and stare at this GS

Mikey in creeper mode.

Danh trying out his new tilt shift lens on the best Honda in the show

OMG I want some nacho cheese with this.

More to come!

We just made it home from a wild night of partying after Wek’Fest was over in Ft. Worth and waking up at the buttcrack of dawn to do a shoot in downtown Ft. Worth. After grabbing one last bite at In-N-Out and stopping at Buc-ees, we’re back at our homes and sorting through our pictures. I alone narrowed down 300 photos of the 800 I shot from this past weekend, and that’s not including our other shooters. Trust me when I say we have all angles covered from this weekend, and we plan to be the authority on event coverage in Texas.

I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of the fans that came up to either me or the Mayday tent and gave us so many compliments on how you guys love what we do. When we hear these things, it makes us work harder to bring you the stuff we do.

With that being said, I’ll leave this photo of me sleeping next to Dennis’ NSX in our booth. I had dozed off while editing photos and making the last post from yesterday on the cold concrete floor, but I’m awake now, so stay tuned for our coverage of Wek’Fest, it’ll be worth it.

Venn, you're a dick. Thanks!
