Two steps forward

While im writing this, the Finest Crew and dozens of teams, shops and scores of enthusiasts are preparing for the kickoff to this summer's show season. Gallons upon gallons of wax, armor-all, and elbow grease are flowing in the final hours leading up to the show, all for the chance at recognition; the opportunity to be seen and recognized within the bittersweet scene we all call our own. Stance boys, camber kids, low rolling big ballers and subtle bippu showstoppers are all vying for a bit of the spot light this weekend, and the motley crew ive called my friends are prepping. 

It's bittersweet being an absent sponsor from the show. While it's far from the most ideal way to spend my day while a show is going on, i'll be working on other projects and keeping track of the coverage from the shop. But hey, its not all bad ( i work at a toy shop for christs sake) i'll be writing up interviews and contacting YOU about your rides, your progress, and your passions. It's gonna be a good day. 

The best part of all of this is that even though im not going to be able to represent for Vegas and the Finest crew at the Import Face Off, we've got plenty of talent out there and we're all able to pool together to make something amazing happen. Anthony Ramos is probably finishing up some last minute details on the four door EF civic (props on making it into the EF sedan squad, brother) and dialing it in. the progress thats been made over the past few months has been nothing short of inspiring, and if you knew the struggle behind it you'd at the very least give him a nod.

Esteban Rojas will also be at the Import Face Off with arguably one of the cleanest ap2's in town with the canary yellow drop top and his newly added set of classy as FUCK wheels. but im not going to blow his cover, you'll just have to wait and see from the shots we get this weekend. OH YEAH!!! In a beautiful turn of events, we'd like to welcome to the Finest Family, Brandon Spann. Brandon will be our in house Peter Parker, snapping those tough shots and getting some sick video for us through the year. 

To sum it all up, we're all stoked to see so much progress from each other and from the car scene out in Vegas. It's been a long hard winter, even if its been warm out here in the sunny South-west. stay tuned, we'll be sure to get as much coverage of local events and meetups through the valley in the next coming weeks, and we'll keep you linked in on all of our upcoming appearances and shows. I'll catch you at the next one, but right now i need a beer and an on call masseuse. 

Tired AF,
