DETO: Matt Lomazoff’s Daily Drifter

My good friend Matt Lomazoff recently revamped his DD(daily drifter,not daily driver). I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to shoot his car at one of my favorite secrete locations…

Matt’s car isn’t your typical hella flush, trailer-ed, pristine show car. The car was built to drift and that’s exactly what Matt does with it everyday, and has the battle scars to show!

Below is some video of Matt doing what he does, in such close quarters! 😉

Extra cars with my coffee

Welcome to Cars & Coffee-Irvine , California…
I actually drove almost an hour at 6am from West Hollywood to Irvine just to experience this gathering of appreciation for rare and tasteful automotive exotica…we don’t have these in Jersey or anywhere in the mid-Atlantic so i was determined to see what all the hype was about..

As you can see C&C is a good mix of everything from American muscle, Japanese innovation and vintage European works of art…

NSX-R..

After looking through my pictures from this show, I couldn’t help but smile when I saw the expression of the kid’s face…looks like love at first site 🙂

Yeah, this new Ferrari attracted alot of attention…

..can’t really go wrong with a vintage bimmer

A Noble! What is this doing here??

By far my favorite car at the show..so sexy, so classy

Vintage Saabs had a strong presence here

Your guess is as good as mine. It says Rossi on the back….looks like a retro split-back ‘vette.

Last but not least, me standing next to my current crush…the all-black Audi R8 🙂

Coco’s EVO

Ok so here is the first of the four features from our trip out west. I’ll start it off with these two random snaps from the Agenda Show we attended in Huntington Beach. Chill’n outside was the Crooks & Castles and MATIX flagship vehicles. It’s cool to see how much car culture influences so much that is so un-car related, it’s almost built into their way of life.


Around 3am, while cruising around Huntington we run into Coco and his super clean EVO. I’ve come to learn in the few days i spent in the Newport/Huntington Beach area that they are some of the friendliest/nicest people I’ve ever encountered. You’d be hard-pressed to find someone with a chip on their shoulder or in a bad mood. Everyone was very warm, inviting, and quick to help.

As we spoke to Coco Zurita, he explained he was in the area to compete in X-games 16. I’ve always been a fan of the murdured-out look and as Coco explained that the matte black finish on his EVO isn’t even paint…it’s a wrap! The whole car… He opened the door to revile the original white color that still remained in the jam of the door(not pictured).

I wanna apologize for the blurry shots taken in such low light, but i felt like it was a perfect opportunity to bring you car culture in it’s purest form. Oh, and as i should mention, pointed out by Coco, check out his sponsor: Vivid Racing.

Here’s a shot of Coco doing what he does(Via Vivid Racing):

DETO International: B Series Shirt Review

Ever since I started up my personal blog last year, I’ve been in touch with James Cale from DETO International. Now that I’ve moved onto illmotion, James was happy to cooperate with us on our site and feature what he can. In turn, we do our best to help him promote him and his brand. Some of you might have seen his brand on hypebeast and DSPORT magazine.

Recently, James sent me one of the newest shirts that he has ready – the B-series shirt. This shirt has lots of attention to detail compared to most shirts – there are 4 screens in total. The first one being on the front, with Honda’s Civic EK being one of the flagship cars. The second on the back, being the brand – DETO. The third, on the inside of the right sleeve if you flip it up saying ‘naturally aspirated class only”. This third detail may refer to the B18C5 in the Integra Type R pushing out 195hp without the use of any help from superchargers or turbos. The last detail is on the inside of the shirt quickly explaining the reason for the birth of Honda tuning starting with the B-series.

Remember to hit up James at DETO International to grab your shirt and celebrate the passion of tuning.

Guest Blog: Porsche Carrera C4 Wide-body 911

While hanging out at my favorite place to relax, I ran into this pristine 1994 Porsche Carrera C4 Wide-body 911.

Only 200 were made with this particular set-up having turbo brakes and body, with a non-turbo motor.
The owner of this rolling work of art is Tim Boyle from Long Beach Island, NJ. Tim didn’t purchase this car in the hopes of making the cover of a magazine or to acquire a bunch of sponsors to make money. Tim bought this car as a pure enthusiast, enjoying the car in its pure essence. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE seeing cars modified into something much bigger and badder than they were ever intended to be.

But a car like this only needs to be clean and classic, just the way it came from the factory. The only change made were to the wheels, which I couldn’t agree on more.
When talking to Tim about this car, he knew every specification and how the car handled in different conditions.
His passion for his car put the biggest smile on my face. Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that make us the happiest.
