The Collage to End ALL.
I put this crazy seamless ensemble of memories together specifically for the background of this blog. I wanted it to be a throwback to old thrash metal albums that had band mayhem plastered everywhere in a cut-n-paste fashion. There are a LOT of great memories in this image… and a LOT of great people. I can’t get over it – and I can’t stop looking at it.
Thanks to everyone for all of the amazing memories, photos, and most of all… camaraderie.
DriftMechaniks is the very definition of family… and this insane montage is the proof.
There is PLENTY more to come… that is FOR SURE.

IT’S ABOUT TIME.
Overdue. That’s what you could call this site. It has been a long time coming. We haven’t had a ‘proper’ site since… well… 2004? Let’s take a quick look back for a second.
This is me and my best friend Hooman circa 1996.
Back then… Hooman was running this beast:
I drove this beast (RIP):
My follow-up attempt resulted in a car that was awesome for the time:
That’s right. CLEAR. TAILS.
Around this time, Hooman upgraded as well.
I sold my whip:
Because of this:
Hooman also upped the ante. He was the first in NY to get one.
Hooman and I wanted to start up a drift team… because at the time – there were no teams in Atlanta.
So we did.
We made some shirts.
They became cake-face magnets:
Even UUUUUCHI approved.
The rest… as they say… is HISTORY. Or at least worthy of another post.
