The guys at Forgiato Wheels recently released photos of a McLaren MP4-12C. This orange McLaren is  wearing Forgiato's F-Sette Formula Series Wheels in 20 inches. The wheels are finished in anodized black with the words "Forgiato" and "Formula" in raw aluminum on the lip. If you've fallen in love with this car by now, you're in luck, because it's for sale at Exotic Euro Cars in Calabasas, CA. 

Here are article -Fast And Furious 7 Official Release Date and First Movie Still

... and you'll have Vin Diesel to thank. Ever since November 30, 2013, the future of Fast and the Furious 7 was in the air. But a couple of days ago, Vin Diesel went to his official Facebook page and gave everyone the news they were waiting to hear. Not only did he give the official release date, he also shared a production still of the last scene that him and Paul Walker filmed. Please remember this quote that Paul Walker once said "If one day speed kills me, do not cry because I was smiling"... Fast and Furious 7 will be in theaters Friday, April 10, 2015, and if you're anything like me, you'll show up to the very first showing (which is always the midnight showing). P.S. I came across this video from GT Channel . I thought it was cute when the original driver said "Me resquest Paul drive".

2013 is winding down and Christmas is around the corner but that's not slowing down the work that the customization shops are putting out. I was able to put together a post of my top 12 photos (in no specific order) of some of the great companies I follow on Instagram. And hopefully after this post, you can follow them (as well as me) too. West Coast Customs ( @WestCoastCustoms ) photographed this custom matte white and carbon fiber Range Rover Evoque. Trendsetters ( @Trendsetters214 ) along with Forgiato Wheels ( @forgiato ) Showed off this 2014 SRT8 Jeep Grand Cherokee sitting on Forgiato's Monoleggera Tratto-M series wheels in 24 inches. These seats look so comfy. Platinum Motorsports ( @platinum_group ) has teamed up with the Bentley Motor Corporation to present the Beverly Hills Platinum Series. Bentley definitely collaborated with the right customization shop. Exclusive Motoring ( @exclusivemotoring ) is finally showing off a BMW 550i customized with carbon fiber mirror c

*Sighs*. Fresh off of signing his contract for $240 Million with the Seattle Mariners, former New York Yankee Robinson Cano , made a new purchase. He decided to go with a 2014 Mercedes Benz S550. Like his past couple of cars, he took it to his favorite car customizer, MC Customs of Miami. MC Customs outfitted the car with Savini Forged's Di Forza Wheels. One day I'll get use to not seeing him in a Yankees uniform. One day...

Here are article -Bernie's Favorite: Ford Unveils the 2015 Mustang

Image
When I first saw the renderings, I was a little scared. But when Ford officially unveiled the 6th Generation Mustang yesterday, my reaction changed. December 5th 2013 was the date when Ford finally revealed the actual 2015 Ford Mustang around the world-- and yes, they unveiled it in the greatest city of all... New York. We're gonna run through all of the improvements that Ford has made. In a nutshell, it's sleeker, lighter, and more modern. After the success of the 5th generation Mustang, Ford went back to the drawing board for this latest edition. Grabbing a little inspiration from the Great Steve McQueen, most of the ideas came from the first generation of the Mustang. With that said, Ford made the new 'stang a little wider (1.5 inches) and a little lower (1.4 inches to be exact). The front end has had some changes too. In the past, Ford has had two driving lights in the grille and two outside. Not anymore!!! Now, Ford took out the two driving lights and replaced them wit

Here are article -Bernie's Car Show Coverage: Caffeine and Octane: Dec '13

Image
December 1st was the date for the last Caffeine and Octane for 2013. This month's turnout was more intimate- it was smaller since it was Thanksgiving weekend. Don't let the size fool you because this month packed a punch. What stood out was the Unleash the Rainbow charity section. Picture this- Twenty something luxury and exotic cars lined up. You vote for your favorite car by donating a dollar, and 100% of the donation goes straight to helping the Philippines get back on their feet after the typhoon. The cars ranged from Nissan GTRs to several Lamborghinis in the three major models- Gallardo, Murcielago, and the Aventador. Enough of the chatter, here's the photos... To see the rest of the photos, check out Bernie's Caffeine and Octane: December 2013 Gallery.  And I'll be at the next Caffeine and Octane in January 2014!!!
