Every year Autofashion puts on a themed party for the Autofashion Family.  This year we did a 80′s/LMFAO party to top our previous ones.  The best part of this is that everyone gets into the spirit and actually dresses up and has a great time. We have strict rules to the party only because its not a serious time its a fun and with the themes it makes everyone a little more easy to be with because everyone is there to laugh and just have a great time.

We cant thank all of our AF Fam for all the support and the love they shown us through out the years.  What does it mean to be AF FAM?  Well its the dedication and support as a friend.  Alot of the true family we have dont care about hook ups, discounts, or anything but to helping out each other is what its about.   The Fam started off as Car stuff but its more about the people then it is about the cars.  I am happy that I can say that we have a great bunch of people by our side and that we will always be here for them when in need!  THANKS AF FAM!!!!

At every AF party no one will ever go hungry! As you can see Kevin with his big smiles =)  I think we have more food then we can eat hahaha!  Its better to be with alot of food then not enough.  With the help of Lisa and Vanessa for cooking alot of this delicious food and for everyone that brought stuff it was one of the best feast next to our thanksgiving party.  Alot of the food and deserts where home made by Lisa, Vanessa, Lupe, and Talina…Yes the girls cooked because you wouldnt want us car guys to cook then it might not be so delicious hahahaha!!!!  Thanks everyone that made or brought stuff!!!

Yes im notorious for pouring shots.  Before this one 4 of us killed a small bottle of Patron and I had to bust out the big boy!!  Yes that is the big costco size Patron!  Every year people will be warned hahaha.  At our party we dont need to pretend or talk shit like we can drink or that people are pussy’s because the person that snitches always takes a drink too.  Dont try to hide because I will be coming after you hahaha!!!  The funny thing is that this was even before the gift exchange and well we had a few people that didnt make it to that hahaha Sorry but it is posted!!!

1 down!

2 down!

We usually dont draw on people but a note to everyone that comes next year…Please keep the “Drink that shit” talking to a minimum unless you can hang with the big boys hahaha or else this will happen hahaha.  Fred is a good sport about it and thats what makes us all FAM.  Sometimes we say things when we drunk but either way we all have each others backs.

Well I dont want to ramble anymore about how I love our Fam and how people got fucked up in the process so I will let the pictures do the talking and show you how much fun we had over the weekend!!!!!!!!

THANKS EVERYONE FOR ANOTHER EPIC AF CHRISTMAS PARTY!!! TILL NEXT YEAR !!!!!!!!!!

On Aug 7th,2010  We celebrated Kevin’s Pre Bday at the wave house.   Even though we not blood.  He is my little brother that I never had and as a older brother I have to spoil him because hes the best little brother anyone can have.   It goes to show that through out the years alot of people adapted him as a little brother as well.

As some of you would know we always go out and do something fun for his birthday.  He has been a Knight at Medieval Times…Then a Pirate at the Pirate Adventures!  This year we decided to do something we all never done and that is go to the Wave House in San Diego.  As long as we all known each other we all never been to the beach all together besides Venice Beach but that was for bike riding.

As some of you know when we celebrate we go all out!  You only live once and being around the people you trust the most we got FUCKED UP!  Yes I said it hahaha.   Drinks came like it was no tomorrow and it felt like it was his 21st Birthday.  Yes this is how we do it and how we celebrate our birthdays.  Live life to live life!  So from drinks to Flowriding…

Throughout the time we were there all I saw was smiles.  Everyone loved being there and that they want to do it again!  It was a fun time as always with the fam.  It would not have been possible with out the birthday boy himself.  But after the Wave House we ended up eating dinner on his behalf since he was knocked out after all that.  Im sure there will be after math pictures of the birthday boy and here is one hahaha….

Thanks to everyone that came out and enjoyed a great day!  No clouds in the sky and it was just a perfect time with the family!  Enjoy the pictures….Till next time!

As a yearly tradition, every time it’s Freddie’s birthday, on or just about, we head to Vegas to celebrate his bday in style. I’ll be honest, it never gets old. Especially when you do something we normally don’t do when we head out there… relax. Yes, that’s right. We didn’t go and cruise the strip all that much. Run around town trying to figure out what to do. We woke up early and just, relaxed. Something you’re supposed to do on vacation.

So what we did, was go to the pool at the Palazzo, where we stayed for the weekend. We woke up early, with the sun shining, bringing us that 108+ degree weather and enjoyed a nice and relaxed morning/afternoon poolside. Tried to tan a little bit, farmers/sock tans are a bitch and just enjoyed ourselves. A couple drinks on the side helped just a little bit as well. It really was the first time doing that and it was a nice change of pace from the normal grind.

This section is a little bit for myself. The big fighting game tournament was being held @ Ceasers Palace that weekend, Evo 2010. I kind of wanted to go, but being there for Freddie and enjoying his bday was more important. I just wanted to give a big congrats to the SSF4 Beast himself, Daigo Umehara, one of, if not the BEST SF player that just beast modes on everyone. That is all.

Our last stop on the way home was of course, the infamous Alien Jerky stop off of Baker. Besides it being kind of quirky with the whole “Alien” theme, they do have some damn good jerky. We even paid a dollar to see a spaceship talk… it was supposed to blow steam and a door would open, but not for us *sad face* It was a nice stop to just check it out and see what it was all about. We bought jerky and some drinks and continued on our way.

Friends and family partook in our relaxing weekend and we thank you all. Without any of you guys, it just wouldn’t have made this possible or as good as it was. It was a blast to just relax and enjoy each others company and not have to worry about the craziness that vegas can bring. Now with that relaxing weekend, Spocom is right around the corner. More Roscoes and more patron shots are in our future… and of course the show. Long Beach, see you again soon!

What a day!  I dont even know how to start off.  As some of you know we have a meet every other wednesday just to hang out with everyone and enjoy the times.  This time around we decided to go to the fair.  It only comes around once a year and we usually go at least once.  This time was EPIC!  I thought I laughed alot at the IMS event but after this night my face hurt like hell.  Its always a good time with the AF fam!  Even Big Steve came down to enjoy the fair!  Ill let the pictures again tell the story!  All i have to say is THANKS EVERYONE for a great time!  Also have to give big props to Brian for being the entertainment of the night and being a great sport about it!   We told him that we weren’t going to post up the pics but we have to because we would like the whole world to share the fun!!!

We rode our bikes, fyi, bmx bikes probably aren’t the best for this, along the entire Venice Beach boardwalk and even up to Santa Monica Pier. The weather was perfect. Bright sunny skies with zero clouds in the sky, a nice ocean breeze cooling us down made it the absolute perfect day for us to enjoy a relaxing cruise. Being able to clear your mind and enjoy what life has to offer and enjoying the time with our friends and family was too good to be true. We couldn’t ask for anything more.

I’ve personally never been to SMP before and it was new experience for me. It was pretty interesting all the stuff that you could do on that damn pier… like get a clay sculpture of your face/upper body. Yes, we ended up getting a clay sculpture of me to end the day. I’ll be honest… it looks nothing like me. He did a decent job, but I do NOT have a crooked head. It’s all good, it was something different and now I have something new to display at the shop/home for people to ask questions about and embaress myself with.

This cruise through Venice was something we deserved as we all have gone through a lot lately and just needed a time to relax and enjoy each others company. Truly, thank you to all of the AF family that went. We will do this again!

Day 2 of our trip to Norcal for the annual WEKFEST MEET.  After knocking out after 16 bottles of Soju from the Korean food place we all decided to make saturday the day we do the tourist crap.  We all decided to wake up early and meet up at the lobby of the Kabuki hotel to get some breakfast.  Little did we know, we dont know where to get breakfast hahaha.  So as I wake up I get a text from a good friend Dennis Chen(aka VIPUCF).  He was nice to invite us to lunch around 12 to 12:30 at pier 29.  As you can see we actually came up deep even though we didnt show all the cars.  The AF Fam always down to support each other.  Pier 29 was a nice place to get away from the city with a nice view of the bay.  The food was great!!!! The drinks at 1pm were the shit!!!!!!!  Shots of Patron all afternoon!!!! We had shots at the table and at the bar.  Thanks to Dennis for knowing people we got bottle service of Patron and man that was early to get drunk but oh well we on vacations hahaha.  The whole lunch consisted of Autofashion, Falken Tire, and Airruner.  Also Present was Dennis and James from VSC. Sorry im bad with names but also 2 guys Dennis was with.  After eating some of  the fam went near the water to take pictures and well some of them were pretty funny as you will see in the album.

After all the picture taking.  We all decided to go to the bay park with Dennis.  When we got there OMG what a view from the park.  It was a nice place to be.  It look like a nice place to have a meet(hint hint).  Also a great place to BBQ it up!!!  After losing part of our crew we waited to try to meet up with them at the Fisherman’s Wharf.

We got calls and started our way to the Wharf.  As we get to the wharf and walking the boardwalk the girls wanted to go to no other then the Ghirardelli square.  Everyone got there sweets and ice cream.  It was a great time just going around.   As we sat there I totally forgot the time and missed a homie BIGMIKEs Bday dinner which was from 3:30 to 5pm.  Early ass dinner!!! Sorry Mike Happy Bday sorry we didnt make it!

So after the Wharf we wanted to check out more places.  Thanks to Never Lost(BS by the way).  We ended up going to Lombard street(twisty ass street).  After that small ass tourist attraction we saw this white lighted up tower.  not knowing what it was we said fuck it lets go there.

As we go to the light hahaha.  It was called Coit Tower.  One of the best views of the city at night.   This is a nice place to be to see the city or any of the bridges.  The only bad thing is that someone forget to cut the tress so we can actually see shit hahaha.  So after a couple of hours we got hungry.  Mike D and Prashant met up with up with us at the tower and suggested to go to a Thai place to eat called OSHA THAI on 2nd and Market.

Once we get to Osha we met up with John of VIP style to have a interesting dinner.   The place was really nice looking and fancy.  With the looks the food was fancy plated and had very good presentation.  This place was good and would go back to this place again.  I think all the places we ate was the shit.   But meeting up with John, Mike D, and Prashant was a great part of the night.  These guys know how to show Autofashion some sick spots.  THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!

After getting drunk again hahaha.  we decided to go back to the hotel and sleep because we have to get up at 6am to roll in the rides for the show. so stay tuned for Day 3 of the Show and the trip back to LA and SD!!!!!!

How do I begin hmmmm. Ok lets make a quick run down. We were suppose to have 8 cars there but that didnt happen because these stoopid weather people said rain rain rain. So we ended up going in 2 vans and 3 cars. no matter what we all ended up going anyways to support the shop and the show. Plus it was a little get away from Socal is always nice. It was a fun trip we ended up getting to our hotel Kabuki which was nice. After deciding to where we wanted to eat we found this korean BBQ place. Forgot what it was called but it was good. Met up with Steve,Henry,Robert, and Yuri at the resturant. Oh man never take me to a korean place where they have soju hahaha. Overall it was fun on friday when we got there not to much sight seeing just pretty much ate and went to bed. Saturday gets even better. Till then enjoy the pictures!!!!

Lets start off with the Food.   We had everything that you can think of such as Turkey, Stuffing, Deviled eggs, Deserts, Roast, Noodles, and Ham.   With all the food came everyone that helped and pitched in and made food for this occasion.  Lets thank everyone Joe, Vanessa, Robert, Yuri, Joyce, Steve, Linda, Kevin, Bobby, Kenny, Oscar, Augg, Dennis, Lisa, Gene, Nate,  and everyone else I forgot sorry.

After the food this is one of those times that we can blame it on the Alcohol!!!!  Lets thank Patrone (Costco size), Kirkland, Grey Goose, Sake, and the mother effer Henny.  For some of us it was a ruff night to get over.  Some of us we just couldn’t remember too much after finishing 3 bottles of Goose, 1 big ass bottle of Patron,  2 bottles of Sake, 1 tall bottle of Kirkland Vodka,  and that fool Henny hahaha.  This was one night to remember for sure.   We had throw up everywhere, Frosty the Snow man had melted HAHAHA, and a few other things happen just so much!!!!   Sorry for the mess Joe and Vanessa.  Hope the Cleaners didn’t hate you too much hahaha!!!

All in all it was a great night.  All of the Autofashion Family showed up!!!!  As you can see this was an UGLY Christmas sweater party.   We had a competition on who had the ugliest sweater and everyone paid $10 bucks to give to the winner.  It was a hard decision but Joe came out as the winner.  There was some really ugly sweaters that came out that night and oh my god it looked like Christmas threw up.  After the contest we did the white elephant gift exchange with everyone.  This wasn’t your ordinary white elephant.  Everyone had to take a shot to get a gift and if you stole from someone you would have to take 2 shots.  So you can imagine how many people got messed up just by this alone hahaha.  There was great gifts out there and a lot of stealing happened and a lot of drinking.

The next day we always get back together to grab breakfast.  This year was a little hard for people to get up but managed to make it out.   Last year we went to olive garden.  This year we ended up at IHOP.  It was one of the best times of 2009 for us and will never forget it.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!!!!  Im sure the pictures will tell you most of the story.  Thanks everyone who came out and thanks to the Autofashion Family for another mark in history!!!!

Thanks– Freddie

So after being in the sun and buring like BBQ we decided to hit up a spot in ontario called FAMOUS DAVES BBQ.   The food was good the sauces were good and overall it was good.    After a long hot day networking at the meet  BBQ sounds good.  We recommend this place just like on food network!  Great food and great service.  You cant beat that with this economy and the prices arnt too bad either especially when someone else is paying hahaha.

Damn this was a big steak!  Didnt get to try it but next time for sure this is what im getting!

Here is Kevin giving high 5 to the bear(so close)

Here is Lisa trying to give the bear a high 5 (not so close hahaha)
