Welcome!

I drive the Lexus IS-F while you ride shotgun as we put you in the middle of the mind blowing experience. Dave drives the new Lexus CT200h and has some pretty interesting views to share on hybrids this month. A new Mazda3 GT review is up and you can look forward to seeing reviews of the 2012 Kia Optima SX T(urbo) GDI, '13 Toyota's Prius V and the '12 Mazda 2. But we've been really hard at work to bring you even more events this summer.

UPDATES:
- Get ready...

- Last year we managed to bring in 11 Nissan GT-Rs to the GT-R&Skyline Cruise and BBQ. This year we have room for 5 times as many cars and hope to have the venue bursting at the seams. Stay tuned to find out the date and time of the 2012 GT-R & Skyline Cruise and BBQ is going down.

We're really looking forward to something very special that all goes down on June 30th!

For years the west coast has brought together and shown some of the cleanest and sickest oldschool and classic/historic Japanese cars in existence. Most of us on the east coast have to make due with "lace" videos on youtube or Modified and Super Streets latest Old School and Retro issues respectively.

The trouble we have with that, is the fact that the east coast not only has old school cars of its own but quite a few of them rival those of the west coast. So come and see some of the cleanest and most iconic Japanese classic and vintage Japanese cars around at the first ever Heritage Festival being held at East Coast Bash in Englishtown, NJ on June 30th! Check out the details below:

Enjoy!
