2010

2010 will be the last year modding my Q. I said it before but I will repeat it. I have had a nice long run, acomplished things I would of never dreamed of and gotten the car to levels I could have only imagined. All good things must come to an end and if I don't offically announce an ending, there will never be one. Truth is, I could redo my entire car 30 times over in my head moddifying each panel each time and never be done. I figured by putting it out in the public again, it will force me to stop. The car might be for sale at the end of the year or I might just hold onto it and give it as a gift to one of my best friends who comes home in 014 after doing a long bid.

Don't think that means I am going to take it easy to aviod getting injured. I'm still going to continue to dive into the 5th row chasing loose balls (no homo) in the closing minutes of games where we are up by 30.

Hopefully the year is a good one for everyone and VIP can reach new levels in the US.

Update on the car. . . sort of

Nothing new, the car is still stressing me out. Luckily I have good genes or else I would of been bald a long time ago.

Right now, they are stuck at a road block with my car. There are spike strips, 8 rows of baricades, hungry police dogs and Robocop all in the way. Time is not on my side either. I'm not going to give up, we will make this happen by any means.

Liberty VIP 6 month recap

It's been 6 months since Liberty has officially been a crew. What a half a year it has been despite all the adversities we had faced along the road.


We accomplished a lot during that short period of time. With just two weeks notice, Liberty held a BBQ which turned out to be one of the biggest vip showings on the whole east coast and that was despite no one knowing who was apart of team or anything about the crew. From there, we just rode the momentum. The next month, we held another BBQ at Liberty park where we debuted our first of 3 shirt's. During those first couple months we reached out to all the locals as well as out of towners that we felt would be a good fit on the message forums. Some left but the ones that stayed helped shape the crew into what it is today. Its is no longer a north east crew but rather a world wide phenomena.


If you are on the forums, you can't help but run into a Liberty signature on clublexus.com, vipstylecars.com or luxuryjcars.com. We made it a point to be everywhere on the internet and in person. I visited the west coast twice in the last month including San Diego for the big Autofashion meet. We had members reppin at multiple car shows every weekend collecting over 30 first place trophies (half were from one member) in 7 different categories. Not only did we have the car shows and streets on lock, we had the media in our vice grips too. 2 covers awarded in that period (Ron Lextronics feature didn't come out yet but the photo shoot and article are done) and a few other features or pics in domestic or foreign mags. We spread like swine flu but the only difference with us is that people wanted it. As of now, we got chapters in about 20-25 different cities, 12-15 different states, 4 different countries.


Why Liberty?
We are regular guys who like to have fun. When it comes to cars, we take vip very seriously and people see that. We have members from many different backgrounds and age groups all united for our love of the style. The crew is run like a democracy. Everything gets voted on and any active member has as much say as the next one. No membership requirements or fees. Everything is funded through merchandise sales. The only thing we ask is that ego's get left at the door to keep the crew a drama free zone. If you want to rep or not and how much you want to rep is up to you. We have helpful experienced members in many different areas and vehicles. Not every car is expected to be show car quality because we place a bigger emphasis on the people rather then the vehicles. Now do you have what it takes to be the first in your town to make it land of the Liberty?


What to expect from us in the next year:




  • New gear including different color tshirts and sweaters
  • Show display items like flags, banners, euro plates etc.
  • Sick new cars under the knife
  • Old cars getting redone to be better then ever
  • A strong physical presence at most (if not all) big vip meets in the states and Canada
  • Well organized meets
  • Exciting non car related activities from strip club meets to go carting
  • Media coverage
  • Access to the private Liberty forum which is highly active
  • Different chapters added in more cities
  • Lots of fun

This is all in love of VIP. The scene has never been as united as it is about to get. Let's do this!
