Moving sure isn't fun! Over the past few days, I've been super busy packing all my stuff and transporting it to a new location that I feel would work better for me! That may sound okay, but today it was 101 degrees, and my amigos and I have been working hard all day in extreme temperatures! It tires you out more than you might imagine! Southern Cali sure is hot right now, and if you're from Southern Cali, you know what that means! In Southern California, hot weather means the hot girls come out of the woodwork, and guys spend extra time shining up their cars for a nice night time drive…
Over the past few days, just in the 3 blocks around where I live, I saw soooo many fixed up cars! Nice E46 M3s cruising, two 1964 Impala convertibles, a super clean 1969 Mustang, several ghetto looking Civics, a first generation MR2… Southern Cali really is all about car culture!
Since we've been overloading the site with German and Japan content lately, we thought we'd switch it up a bit to show some love to the Golden State!
Earlier this month, I decided to head out to the Dub Show at Irwindale Speedway with my friend Eugene from Maxim Radio. As we were walking around the show, we noticed this super slammed Audi sitting pretty much on the ground! It required a closer look.
Wow, now THAT is what you call shakotan! (Slammed super low) Aside from the super low ride height, I was admiring the clean details on the car, like the super clean chrome bumpers and garnishes on the hood, fenders, windshield and windows. Not to mention the aluminum "super JDM tite" window visors.
I'll be honest in saying that the wheels on the car would definitely not be my first choice. Or my second, or my third… So of course it doesn't have the super wide wheels and stretched tires that I'm normally so adamant about when it comes to other cars. However, for this time only, I think we should let the Audi slide necause it was in very good condition!
So what if it's automatic… I like the condition of the interior! It looks so clean and retro; I can't help but be impressed by clean OEM interiors on older cars. I suppose that's because I myself am an old car collector as well!
Finally walking around to check out the back of the car, it appears it is an Audi 100LS. Bear with me for my inadequate knowledge about European cars such as this one; if I recall correctly, this might have been my first time ever seeing this type of Audi slammed! I'll have to keep a lookout for more Audis in the near future!
Socal month on Speedhunters, here we come!
