We did a story about how Hawaii was putting a substance on some of its roads to stop illegal drifting. We ended up getting an email from a Team in Hawaii and we asked to see some of their cars. They sent over an email and all I can say is ALOHA!

If you find yourself in the Central Florida area and it happens to be the last Saturday of the month you are in luck. Head down to the Route 46 Entertainment complex in Sanford Florida for the monthly Cars and Coffee meet. I had been to a few of these before they changed the location from a parking lot behind some shops in Lake Mary to the nice route 46 entertainment complex.

Thats right, we are in search of a model for a photo shoot with Project VIP. As you all know we recently partnered with Air Runner to put their Air Suspension on my 03 Infiniti M45. In addition to the tech article we will be doing a full model shoot featuring the newly lowered ride for use on our site and for Air Runner.

About a year or so back JJ and I decided to come up with a replacement for cardomain. Lots of people liked how the profiles on jadecrew.com looked and wanted their own. Since we couldn’t just go and make everyone a member of Jade we came up with ridering.net. There are already tools like cardomain that allow you to have a profile for your car but I never thought any looked very good. You can use facebook to make updates and share pictures about your car but its not really formatted for cars.

I was reading the Orlando Sentinel this weekend and one story really caught my attention. It was about the Luis Rivera Ortega Street Racing Act that passed the Florida Senate recently. The Luis Rivera Ortega Street Racing Act ups the fines for street racing and includes provisions to suspend the license of the driver.

While I agree that street racing is bad and you should “take it to the track”, I don’t agree with Cynthia Ranyak who wants a provision added to the bill to levy a 1 percent surcharge on some Florida businesses that profit from motorsports. That 1 percent would go to driver education.

If you follow the site you will know that we recently teamed up with the good people at Air Runner Suspensions to get my Project VIP Infiniti M45 sitting proper. After what seemed like the longest 4 weeks the Y34 Air Runner kit arrived fresh from the land of the rising sun. It took a few weeks to set up a location for us to do the install but everything came together last weekend.

Well the install is finally done thanks to Doug at East Coast Garage and the Boys at The Audio Revolution in Orlando. It was really a bolt on install but as Doug so aptly said “Don’t say anything is easy”. The full tech article is on the I ran off and did a quick photoshoot of the ride sitting proper.

UPDATE: Added a Youtube video of the system in action.

I know that I have gone over a whole bunch of things so far about you, your car, car shows and just about everything else. Now we get to the good part. How to apply all that info and actually approach and secure a sponsor.

This one is for Ben, someone beat you to it. For years Ben has joked about doing crazy things to our cars to make them stand out and one of his “ideas” was to add a hibachi grill since we like to eat so much. He would say “It would be perfect, we roll up to the show and while everyone is busy cleaning we are grillin’ Kobe Style!”. Check out the “Kogi BBQ Scion XD” from our friends at Air Runner Suspensions.

You can check this ride out in person at the DUB show on March 7th in Anaheim Stadium.

Full gallery and video of the car after the jump.

2010 Camaro Air Suspension by Air Runner

This is just another reason that I think I am in love with the all new Camaro. It is a great example of the factory getting it right from the start. It’s retro, but it still seems modern. I is aggressive as hell, it just looks pissed. One of the best thing about has got to be that it has some huge wheel wells. They seem to swallow gigantic rims without it looking donkish.

Now our friends at Air Runner Suspensions have given it the one thing that most of the Camaros I have seen are missing, the perfect stance.

Can you imagine it is so hard to get a hold of Tracy Nova, considering that she always has her phone attached to her hands. We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to get to know Tracy Nova. She describes herself as drunk, happy, and dangerous. The drunk and happy you may have seen yourself if you caught her at a club or go-go dancing. Now, the dangerous part is left to be discovered on individual basis. The number of times you hear “New Message!” coming from her Sidekick, and the amount of phone calls she receives is outstanding [it's annoying at first]. On top of that, she spends hours upon hours checking her email & myspace on a daily basis. It makes one really wonder, what is it about Tracy Nova that makes her highly wanted?

Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, cheesesteaks, and the famous Rocky steps. Just outside of the Philadelphia city limits in the suburbs we were able to find this diamond in the rough. We first met Anna Bui at a party that she was promoting for HIN NightShift in New York earlier this year. We kept in touch and she eventually invited us to party in her hometown. From what one could recall, amidst all the alcohol involved, the parties that Anna Bui puts together are unforgettable.
