- Happy Monday

Oh life. When you are young, especially among guys, you dream to take over the world. In college, you are thinkin’ it’s gonna be on once I graduate! Especially when you start making good money in your career, life is good: Vegas, switching from beer to top shelf, new car, nicer apartment, you can actually afford your own room in Vegas without sharing, a trip to Europe, NYC, MIA, HI, Japan, more trips to Vegas … then you realize how expensive life really is and all that shit your parents warned you about is somehow depressingly true. Several years into your career you ask yourself “wasnt I supposed to be driving a fucking Ferrari by now”? You realize this shit is tough and expectations of yourself change. Those videos of Jay-Z & Dame on a yacht in the Mediterranean pouring champagne on, ya, were misleading. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate everything life has blessed me with. Especially given this Great Recession, we all are more appreciative of friendships and the little things that get us through the day. But, every now and then, inspiration catches you off guard. To each their own, but growing up in Southern California, I always had a love for cars. So I open my gmail this morning and I see an email from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars titled “the new Rolls Royce Ghost has arrived” ….
and all of a sudden the day changes. Happy Monday everyone, cheers.

- Im still on it

Been busy completing the Social website for an official clothing launch, but I got side tracked with the Lexus LF-A again. Great video, great pictures and the configurator is the best one Ive ever seen. A lot of crazy colors to choose from, but you know there are tons of uber-rich with horrible taste.

- The highlight of the Los Angeles Auto Show: Lexus LF-A

The Lexus LF-A, Toyota’s $400k supercar, is beautiful… period. I’ve seen a bunch of pictures on the internet and none if them did this thing justice. It is very impressive when you finally see it in person. Hopefully video captures it better. It is arguably the star of the LA show; though you can hear people complain its $400k sticker is way overpriced. It may be expensive, but at a limited production run of 500 units in two years, it will be rare and its value may hold. Don’t believe? Twin Turbo Supra’s from the 90’s go for $100k+
