Keep Up With Bernie at SEMA 2012

By the time you read this, I will be in Vegas, hitting the ground running at the 2012 SEMA Show. Although this is my third time there, my excitement is on the same level as it was in 2010 at my first SEMA show. I look forward to meeting some great people and providing excellent coverage (which is what you'se guys care about most of all).

Last year, I did twitter updates using Blackberry cell phone shots. This year, I'm using my DSLR, but providing sneak peaks through my Pinterest account. So yes , and feel free to repin the photos.

Also, I will try my hardest to stop by AAPEX since I always seem to neglect that show.

Dead after SEMA, I'm going to Jacksonville, FL to judge (Yes JUDGE!!!) the Sibling Rivarly Show, and I'm uber excited about that, and right AFTER that show, I'll be speeding back to Atlanta to be at the Toys for Tots Car Show. So for the next five days- Four shows ( if you count AAPEX) in Three cities. Thank god for Starbucks and B-12 vitamins.

P.S. This year, I'm also partying. But shhhh, don't tell anyone. Trust, I will make time for partying, gambling, and the world's largest Forever 21, even if I only get 2 hours a sleep a day.

West Coast Customs' Customizes Tyga's New Mercedes SLS

Thank god, Tyga now has honest friends in his life, so he doesn't have to make this mistake again...

West Coast Customs' CEO Ryan Friedlinghaus released photos of his new favorite client's vehicle- YMCMB's Tyga. After Tyga came to his senses and went to WCC AFTER (I know, he should have went before) he had an Audi R8 wrapped in gold chrome, Ryan and his crew made sure that Tyga wouldn't look like an idiot by customizing a fabulous matte red Ferrari California.

Once you're a customer with West Coast Customs-- and pay for your customizations-- you're often a repeat customer. And that's what Tyga is. He came back with his newest purchase-- a Mercedes SLS.   Thankfully, West Coast Customs photographed the before, during, and after...

Car Show Coverage: 2012 Dub Car Show: Phoenix

Dub Magazine released photos from their tour stop in Phoenix. I underestimated Phoenix after seeing these photos. It's a nice combination of lowriders meets donks, and it proved to be a well rounded show. I'll be hurt if the Dub Show doesn't come back to Phoenix.
