Event Coverage: College Park Tuning Spring Meet.

A few months ago, I got an email from a guy named Keith Maddock who has been following our blog for some time and knew that I had just recently moved to the East Coast. In the email, he informed me that he was one of the founding members of the University of Maryland’s car club, College Park Tuning (CPT) and that he wanted me to come and check out this year’s springtime meet held not at the University of Maryland, but at Bowie Baysox Stadium in Bowie, MD, near D.C. He went on to tell me it was a huge meet, and that it would be well worth my time because a lot of the cars get cabin fever and strut their stuff at this meet.

Hot shit. A very subtle NSX with some key performance upgrades will always catch my eye

Let me start out by saying that we’ve been waiting for this video FOREVER. It features drifting from all over the United States, including Texas! The awesome guys Will Roegge and Joshua Herron have put together a half hour eyegasm that emphasizes the most important but also the most overlooked aspect of our automotive culture – to have fun. It features local drifters such as Team Silhouette, Chelsea Denofa, Stewart Leask and a host of other guys that we’ve come to known through our blog.

JohnP and I also got a chance to catch up with the KDF duo when we visited Atlanta, GA at a local drift event which is captured here as well. If you have some time, check out this epic video, and share it with your friends, it’s definitely worth your time.

Cars For A Cause, Just Because.

A few weeks ago while toasting some beers with fellow bloggers Christopher Drinkuth and Matt Beaman of Primo-Lifestyle, the topic of car meets popped up and Chris informed me of an upcoming meet dubbed, Cars for a Cause. Cars for a Cause, a charity event being hosted by the good folks at Unclassified, an organization aimed at DMV car enthusiasts, took place this past Sunday at the George Mason University (GMU) in Fairfax, VA on one crazy wet day. The event was to help raise money for a little girl by the name of Isabel who is currently undergoing chemotherapy.

mmmmm, my favorite VW

There were two really cool Cressy's out here, one being this immaculate old school version

Park Baker of HighTopFade would approve

My pick of the best car there, this 2JZGTE powered Cressy.

A Day at Import Face-Off.

It’s cold here in the NE. Not like blizzard cold, mind you, but cold enough where people just don’t plain drive their cars. If you’ve noticed recently, I haven’t put up much content from here in Maryland, and I’ve even posted two pictures of my daily car, the Miata, on the blog which isn’t something I would normally do. The reason? It’s freaking cold, man!

Joy's car attracted people like bugs to a light

I had the opportunity to travel out with the guys from IAG Performance today to show off Joy’s WRX at an Import Face-Off event held in Crofton, MD, just 25 minutes from where I live.

Here’s one picture I really wanted to share.

GANGSTA at heart

Nuff said. More pics to come!

Random Snap: Cherry Blossoms in Maryland.

I was driving home one late afternoon, and as I was pulling up to my house, I noticed the trees looked much different. I parked. I got out, and stared at these fluffy white, pink and yellow trees. What were once just a bunch of sad looking twigs that were lined up along the Inner Harbor in Baltimore were now fully bloomed Cherry Blossoms that adorned the streets and brought so much more color.

I decided to run inside my place, grab my camera and take a few photos of these trees. I parked the daily along the street where I take Takata for walks along the Harbor.

Baltimore, MD

I think this week or next I’m taking Takata and maybe Turbo to the centennial Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC. If you’re in the DC/MD/VA area, you should definitely check it out!

I’m starting to really like Maryland.

Random Snap: Downtown Baltimore.

I don’t really ever take pictures of any of my cars, but I snapped this pic two nights ago as I was wandering around aimlessly in downtown Baltimore near the Inner Harbor where I currently live. I then let fellow protographer Khiem Pham make a quick edit, and this is the result.

Yes, I know. I drive a hairdresser’s car, but it gets great gas mileage!
