November 10th marked another year of VIPfest, definitely one of my favorite local events of the year. Not only is it 2 lights away from my place, but its the show that brings all our friends together especially from NorCal, LA, OC, etc. I used to be in the stance scene in my G35 before it got totaled and knowing the work put into these cars makes me respect the builds in the show much more. This shit ain’t easy.
Jojo and I met up with Boogie & Janine and drove the half mile trip to Green Flash Brewery. Our good friend Jerald went onto winning Best Lexus after literally driving straight from SEMA to SD the next morning for roll-in, and you can see why below. We’d ran into Anthony who owns the bagged Lexus IS350in PUREVIP and my god it looks amazing in person. I’d shot their engagement with Jennifer just 2 weeks ago, so shoutout to these 2 and their hospitality! Our friend Jay was showing with his VW Bus selling pins for his company HDQTRS, another shout out for this mans hustle and support for the community.
I’d only shot a few snaps of friends cars like Taylors LS400 which also won Best Stance but I hope you’re able to see what the show consisted of. There was a lot of catching up with friends than shooting, haha. After the show, Randy Goco wanted to shoot Jay and Mikey (Hako skyline pictured below) so I showed the guys a spot I’d shot at before but before we could, a mandatory trip to Phils BBQ was at hand! Then the cruising to the spot ensued.
