Better late than never right? Good things really do happen to those who wait. Taken by our good friends at JHPhotography and TeamShiftPoint, this video encompasses this year’s TX2K11 held right here in Houston, TX.

Taken by Khiem at this past All-Team Bash 4, this Fancy red Lexus LS was sitting pretty along with the other Refined Elegance folk. You can’t tell in the picture, but it was about 104 degrees outside, and when you add in the wind chill factor, it comes out to be about 112 degrees. Texas is hot, but still not hotter than the cars, so remember that. As usual, click on the photo below to get your fix for your overly enormous screens.
Oh you fancy, huh?

Four years ago one man had an idea. An idea that translated into the single largest car meet that Houston now sees on a yearly basis.
Kimo, head honcho for SunWorks, a local Houston area car club that now has spanned over the nation through different chapters, brainstormed an idea that would unite Houston area car clubs for one event. Instead of competing with each other to see who had the best rides, he envisioned that clubs would get together and get to know one another, and instead compete for who had the best barbecue. The meet was christened, “All Team Bash”.
Holy Jeebus
G's up, Ho's down
Dem Asses
You KNOW they're hot.
Weaksauce is defined as something that is incredibly lame, weak, or uncool.
WEKSOS, the creative minds behind the now legendary WEK’FEST car shows in California is the exact opposite.
Confused? Don’t be.
What started as a small gathering of the best whips on the west coast has outgrown it’s NorCal roots, and now is set for a four city, nationwide tour starting with Los Angeles, home of the greatest cars this side of the Mississippi. Actually, the event was held about 30 miles south of LA in Long Beach, which made this particular venue that much more eye-popping. WEKSOS also collaborated with world reknown car culture/lifestyle aficionados, FATLACE, originators of the coined term “HELLAFLUSH“. Together, these two wonder teams are hell bent on world domination as all tuning eyes of the world focus on one corner of the globe, southern California.

Unfortunately, all of the MaydayGarage guys were tied up doing other things during this weekend, so we definitely were not out in full force, however, our resident Honda expert, Andrew got a chance to fly out last weekend for both Wek’Fest and to visit his homies. Armed with his trusty Canon 50D and a small handful of lenses, he was able to capture his side of the show. This is his story as told in pictures. **Warning** If you’re viewing this from a mobile phone, you will not see everything, cause I’m sure your phone can’t handle 100+ photos!!**

We are back for more Coffee and Cars
The attendance was overwhelming as usual.
TT M3 Goodness
Most people know or have a rough estimate of how fast they are in a quarter mile, but have you ever wondered how fast your car or bike can go in a standing mile? The Texas Mile, now held 3 times a year, is a national event held at an old airport in Goliad, TX, where speed demons zoom down a runway to see what their top speed is at the 1 mile mark. 220 participants registered for unlimited runs down the mile for either 2 or 3 days while 30 others were on the waiting list to take up the spots of any cancellations or no shows. I wanted to test my bimmer out there, but I had to hold back the awesome power of my 150HP BMW 323i as I still had to get back to Houston.
A sea of speed demons waiting to go balls out.
MaydayGarage has teamed up with our good friends at SpeedHunters to bring you the MaydayGarage/SpeedHunters All Japanese Nostalgic Car Meet this Friday, April 1st!
Located in the heart of Downtown Houston, this meet will take place at MoonTower Inn, Houston’s BEST hotdog stand serving exotic meats such as duck, wild boar, pheasant, lamb, venison, and rabbit all served on a warm pretzel bun. MoonTower Inn is also known for their excellent draft beer and huge outdoor venue. A popular spot for cyclists and foodies, MoonTower Inn is also hugely popular with the best chefs in Houston.
Moon Tower Inn
3004 Canal

Coffee and Cars happens every month, and it’s been getting bigger and bigger with each meeting. And if you’re a morning person, Coffee and Cars is definitely something you don’t want to miss, but what if you’re a night owl? Where do you turn to? What is THE meet to be? Unless you’ve been hibernating for the last few years, everyone that lives in Houston knows, you CANNOT miss the TX2K night meet hosted by HPD (Houston Performance Driving, not Houston Police Department!).
Pretty much my favorite car there. Yes, I like domestic cars.
Supras were the main stars at this event
Live music, Fast cars and hot scantily clad women. Heaven.
Mikey never disappoints.
If you're offended by half naked ladies, you should not be reading this
What started as a small, but high quality gathering of Toyota Supras at the old RSI on the west side of Houston nearly 10 years ago, has now become a full on, balls-to-the-wall, super, mega, ginormous, humangous sized, freakishly high horsepower meet. Did I leave anything out? Me and my roommate, fellow photographer Khiem, have made coming to TX2K events a yearly ritual, just like Christmas. Except with Christmas, I don’t have to request off of work to attend. TX2K11 spans across four action packed, crazy days of track, dyno, show, and drag at various venues. Khiem, owning a single turbo, 2JZ-GTE SC300, understands the need for high horsepower events that includes imports. So armed with our DSLR’s, we joined the 1000+ attendees on our favorite day, the TX2K11 dyno/show and shine day.
This Supra was absolute nuts.
So round and delicious, that ass never gets boring to see.
Two Jay Zee, no shit.
So I just got back from today’s events at Hennessey Motorsports in Sealy, TX with Khiem. Here’s a quick video I put up from some of the video I captured today!
