Jeez. Taniguchi is insane. This was filmed 10 years ago. Balsy on the mountain video since we dont post much video’s on here..

Here’s the front of the flyer. Details of the show are still being determined but here’s just so you know.. BTW, That is JayPizo’s Fatlace Sponsored Lexus GS on the flyer which you’ll be able to check out at the event.

My buddy sent me this pic and the two words that came out of my mouth were..

“OH SHIT!”

This newer model corolla was featured on hellaflush before, but we always like to show how some of the past rides are evolving. This is one of those cars that normally wouldn’t get modded, but this guy took what he already liked (fitment) and applied it to something different. I give alot of credit to someone that can change my mind on a car that normally doesn’t look good.

20 year old Chad Agliam killin it in Hilo with this daily driven 350Z. Look for an upcoming feature soon on this car. I know first hand there are a ton of sweet rides in Hawaii. Not only were they the first at the scooter craze but tons of great drifters come from the islands and their cars have been on point for years.

PS… Also look out for HELLAFLUSH HAWAII which we’re working on now.

I love Japan roads. I visit there twice a year, sometimes three times, and lots of times as I walk to get my breakfast or going for late night snacks, I come across road workers digging gigantic holes in sidewalks and roads and about 8 hours later the same hole is covered with no signs of that the place was being worked on. Amazing!

On Omotesando. One of the busiest streets in Tokyo / Harajuku Area.

On the corner of Omotesando X Meiji Dori

Here in California, on the other hand, its a whole different scenario as good old Caltrans does the worst possible job they can do at their job sites by putting 4″ metal plates with asphalt as glue to keep the plate from moving. They leave it there for about 2 weeks making the roads feel like driving your driving thru an off road course.

A common site in SF.

I guess you can say both love their jobs in different ways. One country works for perfection while the other works to keep their job.

Being Hellaflush really is a lifestyle decision one person makes no matter what the road conditions are. I sometimes wonder why I drive such low cars but at the same time I know deep down inside, its my style and like alot of you guys, it just feels right.

Check out the Accord (mistaken for an Odyssey earlier) and Estima in Japan. Two years ago, at Autosalon, the guys were telling me that Air Suspension wasn’t popular anymore and that people only drove with coilovers. They’d set it as low as possible and just drive. Knowing the roads in Japan, It’s definitely possible. In SF, however, you’d have to be crazy to drive thru 3rd street in something this low.

Thanks Mike for posting this video on your FB. It gave me the idea for this post. Keep up with me at my Stayfresh Blog.
