2009 Lexus IS250 Window Tint + SMD Caddy BASS DEMO 8 18's & 2 15,000 watt amps

Also, the Tahoe is under a little construction and is down for the moment, but the guys heard me messin with the caddy and wanted to hear it. I played the track "Dress Code" from Psyph Morrison "Beautiful Imperfection" album because its got great lows!! Buy it on itunes and see for yourself! Anyway the tint on both cars came out spectacular and i want to thank Mike from Tint 2-K Mobile tinting .....if your in Nor Cal or slightly beyond, call him at 916-501-2076
New Pirelli P-Zero Nero 225/30/20 Tires - and a Ticket - 2009 Lexus IS250
ok if you have been following the progress on my Lexus, you know i couldnt find any Pirelli tires locally (these ones anyhow) so i just took whatever they had in stock at the moment.....knowing i would order some new ones right away. The old Dcenti tires are 225/35/20 and are OK......just not as smooth as the new 225/30/20 i just replaced them with. Also, the new 30's have about HALF the sidewall that the 35 series had which gives me the clearance i need in the fender wells. Even after i lower it 2" this week, it should still clear nicely. Just like the new Pirelli tires i put on the Tahoe last year, these are also just as amazing so far.....you dont know how loud your lo-pro's are till you get a GOOD tire like these (regardless of the sidewall)

Lexus Rear Ended @ 40MPH - 2009 IS250
this happened on the way to work this morning. I was driving and then traffic stopped ahead. I stopped and within a few seconds i glanced out my side mirror and saw headlights coming and they werent slowing down. I only had time to brace and hope for the best but it did whip me around pretty hard. I ended up getting Cue-balled into a car in front of me. I am sore all over but i will survive. My knee hit the dash pretty hard as well and is swollen. I can still walk, its just sore. Anyway, dont let the way it looks fool you, it took some force to do the damage that was done, even if the bumper and tailights are still in tact. The car that hit me had a low front bumper and it wasnt anywhere near the tailights so they still look good. The quarter panels and the entire car for that matter is bent so i am not sure what they plan to do....subscribe to my channel, whatever they do, i will show you!
PRO AMPS! 2 Crown XTI 4000 + Boneyard BANDPASS Box & HI Qnet System Architect
playin on the test bench with a pair of amps, a mixer and some old bonyard subs, speakers and even an OLD ASS BONEYARD Bandpass box i built in the 90's. Its not that pretty but i have gotten better since then but regardless, i wanted to dust it off and toss a big ass sub in it to see how it would do. The PORT TEST WITH THE TERMLAB MIC doesnt mean anything, i know! I just wanted to see what kinda number i could do with it like that. A 161.9 really isnt too bad considering this bandpass box is so NOT the right box for that BTL sub. It was made for an old old OLD RF "z" series (or something similar ie the lowest line of RF).....anyway, wer are just havin a little fun hookin stuff up at the shop.....check out the end where i show a little bit of the HiQnet interface. These amps plug into my computer via USB and from there i can control just about every setting there is.....its really nice! to bad i dont know how to use it yet LOL. I will learn, its not that hard!

Tinting the Windshield - 2001 Tahoe 30% Front 5 % Rears
Check out the latest thing i had done to the Tahoe. I called up Mike from Tint 2k and he came by to handle my rear glass, since it was never fixed after the accident a few months back (see video), i figured it was about time i got it done. While he was here i had him do the windshield, which led to a tint strip and now its all hooked up proper! He did such a great job i had him do the Lexus on the spot. That video is next! If your in sacramento or Nor-Cal (and slightly beyond) call Mike at Tint 2k.........916-501-2076 - oh and watch how he pimps my new lexus out in the next video!!

Lexus IS250 Battery Swap - XS Power D2400 AGM

2011 Lexus ISF - Black on Black - FIRST LOOK! FIRST START! (on video)
as most of you might know i was rear ended last Wednesday morning and my Pearl White Lexus IS250, my baby girl, was totaled. I have a great insurance company, Progressive, who took care of it quick......they handled my case for me and were reimbursed by the responsible persons insurance (the person who rear ended me @ 40mph click here for video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Js28eZhVPs . They were extremely fast. Anyway, they paid it off, gave me the balance, and as soon as i got my money i went right to the Lexus dealership with thoughts of an IS350 or even better the ISF! Well as you can see, i got very lucky!
Anyway i have more video of me getting on the gas pretty hard for a short burst just to show you what the SICK 8 speed tranny is all about. Oh the motor too of course. This thing is a BEAST! Subscribe to see this thing in action! I would like to thank a good friend Mark Asbury for helping me seal the deal as well as Kent, Rick, and Chris for making sure i got the car i wanted! Against all odds, i landed it!! Thanks guys! Lexus of Sacramento is GREAT!! http://www.lexusofsacramento.com/ to see the stats of the ISF.... I love this car :)
