The chrome RGP’s made it in. They are breathtaking. I decided these aren’t going on the car until I get her cleaned up a bit. Ol’ grrrl needs some dents pulled and some paint first.
This guys wins the award for best packing job EVER. This is how you’re supposed to ship rare wheels.
Dripping wet chrome in all it’s electroplated glory.
The Destroyerâ„¢ took a step towards the dark side tonight. New kicks ready for the zombie apocalypse… Teflon-coated American Racing Mojave’s. Now I can run over the undead, and spray my wheels clean of zombie brains with a shot of water… just like a frying pan.
Southeastdrift.com threw their “All You Can Drift Buffet” down at Watermelon Capital Speedway on Friday night. This was the first legal night event that Georgia has seen.
This was also my first drift event since I shattered my collarbone in September. With the E46 fully stripped of all her graphics, and all pressure and politics lying in a dumpster somewhere south of Atlanta… this event was single-handedly the MOST FUN I have had at a drift event EVER. Multi-car tandems, enough flashing lights for a year’s supply of seizures, and a leprechaun’s bag of colored lights underneath my car… this event will be tough to trump.

We started pulling graphics off tonight. Can’t there be an easier way to get this stuff off? I can’t feel my fingers. Backing all the holographic vinyl with plain black was the best idea EVER. It made removing most of the graphics SO much easier.
I went out and snapped a few shots of the E46 tonight. These are the last few pictures of her all suited up with graphics.
Tomorrow it is all coming off.
We went to the Rabbit-Hole Gallery last night for the “13 Sons of the South” opening. My good friend Dosa Kim was part of the show, so we wanted to come out and support him. Charlie Owens, Michi, Tindel, and a few others were also showing. Kevin, Cara, and Andrew from Advanced Armament met us down there as well.
If you aren’t familiar with Dosa’s work… check him out. He’s come a long way as an artist… and is still kicking ass and taking names. More of his work can be found at Staccato17′s website.
New work by Charlie Owens:
While we were at the opening… the tornado that ripped throught the heart of Atlanta managed to roar right past us. We were no more than a mile and a half away from “ground zero”. We tried to get a closer look after leaving the show… but police and traffic literally had everything locked.
An amazing picture of the tornado c/o 11 Alive.
These wheels are VERY impossible to find these days. The fitment is meant for E34 5-Series & E38 7-Series BMW’s… but on my E46, the fitment is AMAZING. I managed to snag a staggered set off eBay today… and I’m VERY stoked about it.
Racing Dynamics RGP’s: 17×8.5 ET+13 Fronts, and 17×9.5 ET+20.5 Rear.
CHROME.
I cannot even stress how rare these things are… let alone in such great condition. The chrome is refinished… but beyond gorgeous. I have actually had better luck importing these wheels from Japan than finding them here in the states. These wheels were posted on eBay for 30 minutes before I snagged them!
I can’t get enough of the new Huaratron video for “Dollar Dollar Troopers”.
Intense slow-motion, gritty wireframe animations, and a ton of crazy Masonic imagery.
I think I even see some video caps from WarGames up in the mix.
Awesome.

Design-wise, I stepped way out of my comfort-zone (in several ways) with the 3rd issue of Wrecked Magazine. These three spreads illustrate some of the different typographic, illustrative, and layout styles I put into the latest issue.
As the only designer on staff for Wrecked Magazine, I always have a huge task to undertake with each issue. I like to design the cover last… so it it can reflect the vibe of the issue. I’m really pleased how this cover turned out. It definitely represents the issue well, for all those who really do judge books (or in this case, magazines) by their covers.
