Car Show Coverage: 2013 Forgiato Fest: Japan

After the success of Forgiato Fest in Miami, Forgiato Wheels decided to take it a step further and hold another Forgiato Fest, but this show was in Japan. As you know, Japan has a huge custom car culture, so this show was a mix of the Japanese car culture mixed with the influence of the American custom car culture. Actually, I should say the influence of Southern California and the Southeastern part of the United States.

I was sadden by the quality of photos from the Forgiato website, but thankfully, I was able to find some better quality photos from Minkara.carview.co.jp and Custom Produce Swap's yahoo page. 

Not bad. Not bad at all. I wonder if there will be a 2nd annual Forgiato Japanese Fest.

Drake struggles to start his Bugatti Veyron

Toronto rapper, Drake ran into a bit of a situation. Watch this...  



*Sighs*. I can admit that I haven't had my opportunity to drive a Bugatti, but I'm pretty positive that a million dollar vehicle should start with no problem. Every vehicle starts the same. Press your foot on the brake and either turn the key in the ignition or press the button to start the vehicle. Sounds simple enough. But I guess Drake didn't get that far in the owner's manual. 

Let's hope he didn't wake up in that Bugatti the next morning. Poor Drizzy...

The First Ever Jeep Wrangler Avorza SRT8 Edition Customized by the Auto Firm

Miami's own, The Auto Firm, customized a Jeep Wranger. However, this isn't just a ordinary Jeep Wrangler. This is the first Jeep Wrangler Avorza SRT8 Edition and it was customized for Jesus Guzmon of the San Diego Padres.



P.S. The Auto Firm really did drop a 392 Hemi engine in a Wrangler. And yes, I would love to drive it.
