Yesterday was Matthel Ma’s birthday, if you don’t know him already, he is the owner and manager of The Shop San Bruno. Some friends, mechanics and long time customers of Matthel went out today for paintball fun at NorCal Paintball in Petaluma. It was a nice mix of experienced players, one of the being Matthel, and some newbies. At the end of the day we played a game of Terminator, for those that don’t know, it’s when one person plays against all. The Terminator cannot die and the game ends when they give up or they kill everyone on the field. Matthel and good friend Bud volunteered for that position. FYI Matthel is the one sticking out like a sore thumb, in the Hawaiian shirt. also the referees let me on the field with my camera, which I was a little weary about, but the pics came out awesome, flip through them below or visit our gallery.

Hella Flush Meet @ BlackTrax
November 14, 2009 by C.Castro · Filed Under: EventsWide rims, stretched tires, slammed cars… Thats the name of the game. Hella Flush held a very organized meet at BlackTrax performance today in Milpitas. I joined Jimmy Uy, a friend and a customer of The Shop, this morning for roll in and staging. Before the meet even begun, the forecast was extremely gloomy. As staging continued through the rain, the South Bay weather prevailed and we were left with a nice sunny show and some awesome lighting for pictures. A wide variety of cars were in attendance, from VDubs to toyota’s and old school Datsun’s to an LS1 powered GS. I asked Jimmy, “Don’t you worry about scraping?” and he answered, “I don’t worry about scraping, I just scrape”. It is always heart wrenching to watch these people go up a driveway, shoot, I worried about my car scraping and I am inches above all of the other cars there. This car lifestyle is all about doing more than the other guy and every show the standard is raised higher and higher. Though I did leave early, there were more cars parking, providing more eye candy for attendees. Visit the Gallery for higher res pics, or flip through the album below…

After 30 nerve wrenching minutes, the RX7 passed visual inspection and after an emissions check, the RX7 was passed by BAR (Bureau of Automotive Repair), no more worries about getting pulled and getting his hood popped. Some pictures from the State Ref will be up soon.
