Tyga's New $2.2 million Maybach 62 S Landaulet

Tyga has officially replaced Justin Bieber as West Coast Customs favorite client. As a late birthday gift to himself, he decided to add to his car collection. His choice? A brand new convertible Maybach 62 S Landaulet totaling to $1.3 million. But that's not good enough. West Coast Customs added the logos from his Last Kings company, and a 40 inch TV, bringing the total up to $2.2 million. TMZ was on hand to capture these camera phone pictures and the video at the end...

TMZ should stick to chasing people down the street cause they SUCK at photographing a car. It is not that hard!!!!

Bernie's Top 10 Posts of 2012...

Found the photo somewhere on Google

Can't believe that this year is over... But like Will Castro says- "New Year, New Beginnings, New Money". But before I can ring in the new year, I want to revisit the top 10 posts of 2012 (based on pageviews) and who would have thought that my number one post is from someone from Jersey Shore...

Now from 10 to 1, here is Bernie's Top 10 Posts of 2012...


10. Bernie's Favorite: Estevan Oriol talks cars with Travis Barker...

I labeled this Bernie's Favorite because cars brings a lot of people together and when Travis Barker said that he loves traveling to see how people in various parts of the world customize their cars, he really won me over. And I honestly have a newfound respect for him.


9. MC Customs Shows off a Gorgeous Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

I thought this Jeep Wrangler was gorgeous, even though I have no desire to know who Alex Gonzalex is from the Milwalkee Brewers is...


8. Car Show Coverage: 2012 Dub Car Show Anaheim and Part 2

Everyone knew that this would be the best Dub Car Show of 2012- it was an outdoor car show in California. That means that people can come and go as they please. This was the ONLY Dub Show I wished I would have went to...

7. West Coast Customs Presents a Cadillac Escalade

Usually when West Coast Customs customizes a vehicle, it looks great. But leave the donks to the South. They lost me with this one.

6. Tyga's Audi R8. 

I still thought this was a hot mess, but thankfully he unloaded this... I think. Did he? I know that Lamborghini is no more... But after this horrendous customization, Tyga came to his senses and went to West Coast Customs. Thank GOD!!!!

5. Just When Justin Beiber was doing so well... 

He really was doing so well and then he gets a Smart Car, then calls it the Swag Car. He needed to quit while he was ahead. Plus Fiat's are more fun to drive.

4. Scott Disick's Audi R8.... and then he sells it.

I think with this customization really mainstreamed the Chrome Wrap. 

3. Justin Beiber's Chrome Fisker Karma 

I'm still a little on the fence with this one, but he probably doesn't have it anymore

2. Darth Vader's Ultimate West Coast Customs Car

West Coast Customs is the only customization shop whose customized cars will look EXACTLY like the renderings. Usually the finished product is a little off from the renderings, but not with them...

and the Number 1 Post....

Snooki's Tragic Cadillac Escalade

When being an individual goes wrong. I really thought she was going to leopard out the interior. 

Remember keep up with Bernie in 2013... Happy New Year and get drunk... but don't drive.

Recapping the Second Season Finale of the Dub Magazine Project

Awwww, it’s the last episode of the Dub Magazine Project.

That was smart to put Machine Gun Kelly to put in the Dub Garage. Duh, it’s only the Dub Magazine Project. I think MGK was a more personable host. Dub made the right choice with him.

During Cash Out’s segment, I was looking at the city skyline, and said that looks familiar… yeah, it took me a minute to realize that it happens to be the city that I live in. Love how he gets his wings- mild sauce with lemon pepper sprinkles. But for real, Cash Out said the most truthful statement- make sure you can afford the car three times over before you purchase it. However, the Fisker Karma didn’t do anything for me in burgundy.

Kreayshawn…  She’s driving a Forgiato dipped Buick Grand National, but the 90% of the $50,000 that the car is worth is based off of the Forgiato steering wheel, wheels, and grille. But that Hello Kitty sticker depreciated the value. But in all appreciation of Miss Gucci Gucci, at least her taste in cars represents her style.

I’ve seen Tyga more not hosting, that I did as the host of the show. I was trying to see what kind of car Myles was driving, but the shadow of his arm was blocking the emblem. Myles did have a point- matte red really isn’t common. The only matte red cars I can think of would be the Phantom that Platinum did and the Ferrari California that WCC did for Tyga.  Even though a motorcycle is smaller than a car, it would be a bigger bitch to wrap. The Dub Garage did great with it. That poor Lamborghini was recently crashed, just a few short days ago.

Another West Coast Customs customization down the drain. At least Ryan got paid... hopefully.

Snoop Dogg…. I thought he was going to have the whole show. I really wished he had the whole show. He drove around LA in a 1963 Monster Energy Cadillac DeVille on his way to a meeting with Sanctiond Auto Products (aka Mister Cartoon and ‘em). I loved the chemistry between Snoop and Sanctiond, and Estevan Oriol’s moment with the camera.

All in all, season 2 was a lot stronger than season 1. Check it out…

The DUB Magazine Project - MTV2

P.S. So I guess Funkmaster Flex’s Full Throttle isn’t coming back on???

Recapping the Dub Magazine Project, Season 2 Episode.... uhhh 6!!!

I lose track of the numbers. But on to the recap

Machine Gun Kelly… I like that background eye candy.

Soulja Boy. **hysterically laughs** As he drives to his “meetings” in the Bentley Continental GT that he crashed in Los Angeles. To be honest, I forgot that his music originated in Atlanta. I can’t listen to his rambling. I think he rambled about buying his first car with cash. He was smart with the whole using the internet to get a record deal, but that was the last time he did anything smart. He didn’t talk about cars (thank goodness), so on to the next segment. I laughed cause I didn’t think people would still be interested in Soulja Boy. This isn’t 2008.

Tyga, Tyga, Tyga… The red Phantom didn’t look bad, but that gold Audi R8… I mean he was the first with the gold Audi R8, but hopefully he will be the last. I wish they would have filmed Tyga’s segment AWCC and not BWCC. BWCC is the time period before Tyga went go to West Coast Customs, AWCC is the time period that Tyga came to his senses and went to West Coast Customs. But I did see Blac Chyna, you can't hide her with that blond hair.

Dub Garage customized Tony Hawks’ vehicles. Tony kept Myles and his crew busy by bringing three vehicles- a Lexus hybrid and a Mercedes CLS 550- those two only needing wheels and tires (which can be done in a couple of hours), but the third vehicle needed work- the team van needs wheels, tires, custom sound system, AND some skateboarding racks for the team to put in there. Will the Dub Garage finish? We shall see….

Brian Deegan’s mode to blowing off some steam looks fun. Although it’s extremely country (he did say he’s from Nebraska), I wouldn’t mind doing that. I’m pretty open to things.

Shop talk goes to Towbin Motorcars in Las Vegas. Chop… I like Chop. He has energy, I love him. They should have given him the entire show. That blue genie was a little scary though. But at least America knows where Floyd Money Mayweather gets his Rolls Royces from.

Atlanta’s own, Future. Driving around LA in a Bentley Continental GT on Forgiatos. I love raspy voices, but I would have rather seen Sean Kingston’s car collection. You asked, I answered...

Next episode has Pauly D on it!!!! And here’s the episode...

The DUB Magazine Project - MTV2

I'm just a little excited to see Pauly D. Just a little. 

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...

Tyga's New Ride: A Matte Red Ferrari California

Horrible photo from Tyga's Instagram.

Well after that ugly debacle called the Gold Chrome Audi R8, Tyga redeemed himself. First, he went to West Coast Customs. Two, he went to West Coast Customs with a Ferrari California. The end result- A matte red paint job with black Asanti wheels.

Not bad, not bad at all. One thing I can say is that Ryan and his crew will never cheapen a car, and they won't have you riding around looking like an idiot.  Oh and watch the video...

Interesting Customization: Tyga's Audi R8

In a photo shoot with Dub Magazine, Roadstarr Motorsports customized an Audi R8 for Young Money's Tyga. Ummm, I'm not going to say much because if you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all.

This particular Audi R8 will never have the same impact as the Chrome Audi Tron by West Coast Customs. Nuff said. It'll grab attention. I'm hoping it'll look better in person, but probably not.
