After spending the morning and early afternoon at the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon event, we sat in traffic for what seemed like forever just so we could stop by Spoon Sports Type One in Suginami. Spoon was hosting a little gathering of their own titled the “Spoon Collection 2020” where they used their workshop facility to showcase some of their famed race cars from year’s past. The following day, Yuta joined us at Tokyo Auto Salon to go over some of the more talked-about builds of this year’s event and we provide some insight of our own—whether it be useful or completely ridiculous.

Back in Japan for Tokyo Auto Salon…CHRNCLS Vlog 2020 #1
We’re back in Japan! For the first time ever, I’m actually uploading new videos while I am actually still in Japan! I’ve never been able to do this because I just didn’t have the technology, and frankly, the time to film, edit, render, and upload a new episode while traveling. Hope you guys enjoy the new look and going back to the early videos without the letterbox. To kick-off the new 2020 season, I take you guys with me as I hop off the plane in Tokyo and dig right into the meat of why we are in Japan; the annual Tokyo Auto Salon event. There was some great stuff this year, some great surprises, and plenty of high quality stuff. See for yourself!

Things always get interesting in November. It’s a big month because the SEMA Show always happens during this time but the two other events that people look forward to are the two that serve as bookends to SEMA; the first being The Chronicles Anniversary events, and the other, both strategically […]

Positive momentum. That’s what we’re in the midst of right now. We’ve only had three Wekfest events up in Seattle thus far and we’re on an upward trajectory. I was having dinner with Ken from Wekfest earlier tonight and I was telling him about how the excitement for this tour […]

Before I started putting this post together, I went and took a trip down memory lane, pulling-up some of my older posts back when I first started traveling to the Pacific Northwest. Those were very different times. Back in 2013, I was knee-deep in magazine print work, often looking for […]

I wanted a slightly different approach this year covering the Seattle Wekfest event. The previous two shows had been pretty amazing content-wise but I always remember the roll-out being so much more memorable than the set-up phase of the show. Perhaps that has more to do with the stress of […]

The concept of taking all these photos and documenting all these experiences is that they will have a long-lasting effect in the bigger overall ‘picture‘ (no pun intended) of the worldwide automotive tuning community. I want not only myself, but you as a viewer to be able to pull these […]
Read MoreMy Adventures in Japan 2019… Part 3…
So much has been going on lately that Japan almost feels like ages ago. I guess that makes sense since January always feels long as fuck but admittedly, I think I’m getting a bit worn out with all this traveling I’ve been doing lately. After coming back from my Tokyo […]

On the evening before our final full day in Japan, I make the executive decision to take a bullet train ride down to the Kyushu region, Fukuoka in particular, to visit a tuning shop that I’ve long been wanting to visit but just never found the right time to. M&M […]
