In The Moment / Track Ready E92 BMW M3

June 03, 2014 by Jonathan Chow in In The Moment

There are some wheel/car matches out there that just work so perfectly, and the latest one has definitely got to be E9X M3's on BBS F1's. Just fits so well.

In The Moment / A Euro Rally Rivalry

May 29, 2014 by Jonathan Chow in In The Moment

Seeing these two Group B legends side by side in the States is something you just can't forget about. The biggest question, which would I go for? Nah, who am I kidding, I like Audi but I'd take that Lancia in a heartbeat!

Palm Springs

Despite having grown up near a desert all my life, I've never been one to enjoy that particular environment. When compared to mountains, forests, or coastal lands, it just could never compare. However, Palm Springs has always been my one exception. I'd visit relatives at least twice a year here and over time, I've grown a fondness for its natural beauty. Don't get me wrong, midday summer here is horrible, but as soon as the sun begins to set, it turns into a wonderfully surreal place filled with a smooth pallet of colors rarely seen anywhere else. Also, the architecture here has a great retro-modern flare who's design integrity is unmatched anywhere else.

Function Fitment

April 16, 2014 by Jonathan Chow in In The Moment

Lately in automotive culture the actions by the "stance" folks have caused an uproar over what has essentially become a form vs function debate. Some believe in order to achieve a certain look, some of the vehicle's function must be compromised while others believe that in order for a vehicle to function properly, it must not go beyond certain limitations that the "form" crowd finds to be too mild for their tastes. And so, like Imports VS Domestics, it is implied that an enthusiast must choose a side. However, there are those such as myself who believe both goals can be achieved simultaneously. A car can be set up to improve it's performance AND improve the looks at the same time, a functional fitment that betters the form. 

But, then again, I also believe if it isn't your car, you shouldn't have a say in how a car is treated, so I just avoid that whole battle altogether.

In The Moment / An S14 Reborn

January 31, 2014 by Jonathan Chow in In The Moment

Car enthusiasts tend to be nocturnal creatures. Yeah most of the fun stuff happens when the sun is out, but it's when the light goes to sleep when the real magic happens. That moment when a motor turns over for the first after weeks of prep work. That moment when you get it on a dyno and hear it roar after its long slumber. And that moment when you look at the curves and numbers flickering on the screen and think "Oh yeah, this is going to be really fun."
