Vossen Wheels Shows off an Acura TL... In New York


Acura TL - VVSCV3

Vossen Wheels released many photos of an Acura TL in the world's greatest city, New York. This particular TL is wearing their VVS-CV3 wheels in Matte Graphite sized 20x10.5 in the front and rear.

This photo is how I can tell this was shot in New York *whips out pointer*:

See the crappy looking grass to the left, the crappy pavement of the road, the street signs, the abandoned building on the right, and the blue construction scaffolds outside of the apartment buildings. Judging by the scenery, this was shot in either Staten Island or Brooklyn. God I miss New York.

Girl Moment: Kimora gets gas for her Ferrari



Since I've been living in Atlanta for 5 years, I've been fortinate to meet a lot of famous people. A lot of people can say that they've partied with Sean "Puffy" (or Diddy) Combs, but I honestly have. One things for sure, I haven't met everyone that I always wanted to meet.

Case in point, the subject matter of this post. Kimora Lee Simmons. Is she driving a customized Ferrari? Nope. But is this one of the people who influenced Bernie to be the best person she can be, yes. And that's why I couldn't pass the opportunity to show off Kimora and her Ferrari with New York license plates.




And before you panic, she is the only celebrity inspiration I have. Although I do love Jay-Z...

Car Show Coverage: 2012 Dub Car Show: New York

DSC08247

Why does Dub Magazine always drop the ball in New York? The Tri-State area have plenty of customized cars, but before I blame Dub, I bet that the Javits Convention Center only provides them a tiny, tiny space. Anyhow, Dub released photos from their car show that was tucked away within the New York International Auto Show. Check it out...

For more photos, check out Dub Magazine's Flickr Page. There's not much more, except a bunch of crowd shots and people posing with the UFC fighter and Juelz Santana. I'm still wondering why Dub stopped coming to Englishtown.

Tragic Customization: Snooki’s Cadillac Escalade EXT


I admit, I watch the Jersey Shore. It reminds me of half of Long Island- which happens to be one of the Guido Capitals, right behind certain parts of Jersey and Staten Island.

Without a doubt, the break-out star of the show happens to be a 4’9” girl from update New York (Fact: anything north of Westchester County is considered Upstate New York.) named Nicole Polizzi, better known as Snooki. On the Jersey Shore Show, the cast gets a house, a job, and two Escalades to drive around in. I guess Snooki was used to the Escalades, so she decides to unload her BMW and purchase an Escalade EXT, and gets it customized.


And this is where the story goes downhill….

Now, there’s a stereotype about New Jersey women, and a few women from New York (not me), and the Wendy Williams Show, Jersey Shore, Jerseylicious, and the Real Housewives of New Jersey basically confirm the stereotype. They like a lot of pink and animal print. When you customize a car, it’s an extension of one’s personality- and sadly, you can't deny that this Escalade belongs to Snooki. Here’s the photos…





These photos were shot in Jersey City, New Jersey where Snooki and her castmate- J-Woww (who's from Long Island) are filming their spinoff show. You were looking at a newest modeled Cadillac Escalade EXT- painted a matte black with hot pink accents. Hot pink grille, hot pink side vents, hot pink trim. You heard me- matte black with hot pink accents, and the photos are perfectly color corrected. When I saw this, I wanted to cry. And the sad this is, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the interior was leopard or cheetah print.


And this, my friend, is a classic example of when customizing a car goes wrong. Wait, I can find two things that I like: The Hello Kitty Baseball Decal on the back window and the fact that the Escalade came from Long Island.

Give Snooki credit, at least she didn't piss away her millions like the Situation did.
