CharisCulture Event Coverage
Don’t forget to check out our complete Fast Expo gallery on FlICKR, Here. About 2 years ago we went to Florida Fast Expo. We had just come off our first ever SEMA high so we were kinda spoiled by what we had just seen. This year was a little bit different. We’ve grown quite a […]
Don’t forget to check out the FULL gallery with over 300 photos on our Flickr page Here Friday. Getting out of work early is great. Getting out of work early to go to a car show is even better. I was at the office, and Charlton was working from home. I was really hoping that […]
charlton ochoa Our Third year at SEMA, and I’m willing to be this will never get old. To us, it feels as though this year is better than last year. It feels larger, and the excitement surrounding the event was non-stop. Not to disrespect previous years and builds, but it felt like everyone went all […]
Day 1 down. Car overload engaged. We made our way through some of the larger areas to see some of the heavy hitters. Last year, we kept the posts short and sweet, which was fine, but after experiencing the level of insanity yesterday, we want to show as much as we can. So, this year, […]
This is the third year we’re making it out to the SEMA show from South Florida, and we could not feel any more blessed. From starting our shop to making the transition over into a media outlet, it has been quite the journey. We want to thank everyone who has supported us along the way […]
Show day. The big day. Most importantly, sleep-in day. Check-in time at Show n Shine was noon, so we decided to take it easy and enjoy some “pancakes the size of steering wheels” at Hash House a go go. Steve has been to this place numerous times and wanted to honor tradition. We decided to […]
Don’t forget to check out our exclusive video coverage of FL2K by clicking Here FL2K, for me, means two things: one – SEMA is around the corner, and two – I am about to see some intense drag racing and be surrounded by powerful cars once again. I can’t believe another year has gone by, […]
Jet lag is horrible. I’m usually pretty good on little to no sleep before a long day. I’ve done it countless times before, but jet lag really messes with the sleep schedule, and I had to be up at 4:45am. Since I was already awake, I figured I’d get on the computer and knock out […]
Since the creation of The CharisCulture blog, I have had the opportunity of meeting some amazing people and seeing cars that are one of a kind. Keeping up to date on all the latest trends and builds has become quite the task. I usually hear of sites or events through word of mouth or find […]
About two months ago, I was talking to my good friend Steve Sawicki about building him an e-commerce site for his toy business. During that conversation, he said, “Dude why don’t you come with me to Supras in Vegas?” I was speechless. He followed that up with “Hey man, I’m just looking out for you […]
One of the best things about car culture is the sense of community. As I mentioned in my earlier adventures, I was blessed with a ride from Javi. It was a rough morning as the previous night was filled with late night edits and packing. Nevertheless, I was on time and ready to go, especially […]
The Cobra Joe’s Productions car show is a favorite for all South Florida oldschool muscle fans. The show takes place the first saturday of every month in the downtown Hollywood area. We first came across the show by mistake looking for some breakfast. Ever since then, we have been documenting the event, met amazing people […]
Words by Lara Gamble, a friend of ours who is a freelance writer for Brooklyn Radio and other publications. As someone who really doesn’t know much about cars other than which ones I think look nicer than others, it was an interesting experience for me to attend the 2014 Nurotag Homecoming show at the Miami […]
The South Florida car scene is one that has been steadily growing. and we have to come to see many amazing builds get pumped out of the region. However, on this day, we were graced by Wataru Kato and his Widebody Ferrari 458 Italia. Way2Clean was getting setting up to have an amazing first show. […]
I haven’t been to Elite Roads in ages. When we heard about the Stance Miami show, all I could think was “Awesome! It’s only twenty minutes away!” After a morning of some much needed car cleaning (it’s been over a month), I headed out to Elite Roads dodging those damn rain puddles. Yes, it was […]
Day 2 is always a great day for Formula D events because all the vendors are set up, it’s car show day and the PRO competition kicks off with all the big names everyone came to see. Fatlace presented the car show as usual, this time going by the name of Offset Kings. The show […]
4:45am. Friday. Pouring rain. Great way to start off the day. I had all my camera equipment and tech gear packed in my pelican case, along with various rain-coated camera bags. It’s just too bad my raincoats were in my car! Worst of all, I had to make two trips to bring all the gear […]
Two amazing things went down in South Florida on May 29, 2014: the Miami Heat made history by making a fourth trip to the NBA Finals, and Formula Drift switched over to a new venue at the Homestead Speedway for Round 3: ‘Miami Heat’ (pun intended). My crew and I made it out hoping for […]
Festival Flea Market. I had no idea that a classic car show was going on in Pompano Beach! Thanks to Google Now’s nearby events, I was able to find out about this rather large and diverse car show a few days ahead of time. The show was slated for 10am – 4pm. I didn’t get […]
The NUROTAG movement has turned from a homegrown project here in Miami to setting up shop around the United States as a staple in car shows. Kicking off their 2014 tour in the Miami Airport Convention Center, the local scene was ready, many with brand new setups to get the new year started. What makes […]
As you all may know, Formula D is well underway and heading to Miami. The past few years, PBIR has been host to the third round of Formula D, aptly named Invasion. This year, however, Homestead Raceway was able to get the contract in an effort to bring the awesomeness of drifting to Miami. This […]
Growing up I used to watch lots of TV with my grandfather. One of the shows that we loved to watch together was the original 1966 Batman series with Adam West and Burt Ward. When I heard that George Barris, The King of Kustomizers and creator of the original bat vehicles, was going to be […]
Eurotripper, like many other niche specific gatherings in southern Florida, has been advancing in the right direction. I met up with my good friend Dewayne from SofakingClean, and we made our way to the event to take some pics and hang out with friends. The locale was the same as last year (Germain Arena) but […]
After a great day at the track, we were invited to The Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Florida to help cover the Concorso D’eleganza with Ferrari. I was bummed I wouldn’t make it out to the Rolex 24 at Daytona; however, this event definitely satisfied our thirst for a quality weekend. I would be shooting […]
