June 21, 2009, Bevery Hills, CA - This year we decided to check out the annual Concours D’Elegance classic car show held in the heart of Rodeo Drive.  What better way to realize how insignificant your net worth is than to mingle with the opulent and their rare hundred thousand dollar cars!  All kidding aside, it was a breath of fresh air to be transported back to a time when cars embodied more than just means of transportation.  Being able to see over seven decades worth of cars was very inspiring, and seeing all those old Packards, Alfa Romeos, Shelbys, Pegasos, and of course good old Detroit almost made me wish I was born at an earlier time.  Included in the mix were also a few modern cars, including a Porsche gallery, the Tesla Roadster, and the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione.

June 13 2009, Long Beach, CA - Much like it was advertised, this year’s Spocom was chock-full of some of the hottest models in the industry, as well as some of the cleanest cars on display. Fortunately, most of the modified cars consisted of clean and tasteful mods, and rice was pretty much non-existent. As if the cavalcade of models walking around wasn’t enough, showgoers were also treated to a dance contest, bikini contest, lingerie show, and Nicolette’s Lollime Bikinis show throughout the day as well! I was relieved to see that the bikini contest judges had the same tastes that I did and elected Bahara as the winner! In fact, you could say that it really was no contest at all! =P  There were also quite a few interesting moments, including lots of innuendo banter courtesy of Alexia Lei, a display of nunchaku mastery by Alicia Whitten (yes you read that right, she knows how to use nunchakus!) as well as a Super Bowl Janet Jackson-esque “slip” up during the lingerie show…  guess you had to be there!

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the show and look forward to going again. My favorite part of the show (other than the half naked ladies)- the Scion xD with the claw vending game installed in the trunk! I could have spent my whole day there trying to get myself free t-shirts! But I digress.. pics of the event as usual inside!

*06/19/09- Now updated with pics from the bikini contest, Lollime bikini show, and lingerie show!

May 1-2. 2009, Santa Monica, CA ->Anaheim, CA – This year’s Gumball 3000 started at the Pier in Santa Monica, CA.  For those that don’t know, the Gumball 3000 is an annual rally that covers 3000 miles, usually taking place in different parts of the world each year.  More importantly, the Gumball event is really a chance for ballers to drive their cars around and party every night! This year 120 cars were officially entered in the event, ranging from Veyrons, F430s, Murcielagos and GT3s, to Scion TCs and a Crown Vic dressed up to battle the swine flu. The next day, the parade headed over to the Anaheim Stadium to make a stop over at the D1GP event being held the same day, to the delight of the audience. Next stop, Vegas! Someday, we will join this crowd… after pooling all our resources together in the next 50 years! Check out the gallery of fine cars after the jump.

March 14, 2009, Anaheim, CA – The ladies weren’t the only ones turning our heads- this HIN brought out a wide assortment of interesting and unique cars. Among some of the more noticeable ones were an actual S15 Silvia, a mint C10 Nissan Skyline GT-R, one of the first fixed up Kia Souls (well.. somebody cares, right?), a bunch of exotics, as well as the usual show strictly show-only cars that I’m not sure how they’re even driven around.

Clicky below to head to the gallery (we will continue to update this post as well as we get more pictures ready)!
