First off nice set of pictures.

And I agree in regard to the "ricer" comment. Younger people today are doing the same thing us old farts did when we were young. Finding cars and modifying the hell out of them, and more power to you.

I like cars, all cars.

I appreciate your feedback. I completely agree. I love my cars and love building them for my personal pleasure. I don't care if you drive a '92 Civic or a 2014 Veyron. I love my cars because they are just that, mine, and I busted my rump for them.

awesome read for sure. Looks like we share alot of the same tastes... I grew up around a big mix of muscle and import culture so I've always appreciated both. Even got into drifting for a little while with my Trans Am (I sucked but whos counting lol). It always kind of influenced my styling choices on my vehicles and I feel led to some pretty unique builds. All the cars are looking great and keep up the good work... also figured you'd appreciate this



and heres my sloppy attempt at drifting (I got better-ish just dont have those pics on photobucket)
