August 2012 

We at 香蕉视频直播 won鈥檛 let the dog days of summer drag you down. We hope in between your weekend show schedules and garage time, you take comfort in your air conditioning and give us a long read. Hell, why not. It鈥檚 pretty damn hot outside.

In whatever way you decide to enjoy the new issue, be aware we鈥檝e packed 鈥榚r tight, chalked full the good stuff.

Some of the hottest shows of the summer are profiled this month, including the OC Car Show, Wekfest in Long Beach, WaterWerks, DMCC and CSCS openers, and more.

Plus, we have some fresh test reports, the Scion IQ gets some new brakes, we profile the Nitto Tire Formula Drift team and we鈥檝e got more buyers鈥 guides.

Boom! July might be over, but we鈥檙e keeping things hot.

THE COVER CAR

August 2012 Cover Car

Nissans have long been popular tuning platforms, but today鈥檚 modern tuners have taken this simple fact to entirely new levels. Harvin Minhas of Richmond Hill, Ont. knows this well as he has previously owned a pretty sick turbocharged 2006 Nissan 350Z after tiring from his 鈥03 Lexus IS300 and its killer custom audio system. And, in late 2010, he pulled the trigger on this brand-spanking new 2009 Nissan 370Z to turn into a new project car. 

THE EVENT

August 2012 Event Spotlight

Formula DRIFT returned to Round 3: Invasion at Palm Beach International Raceway for the second consecutive year. Rookie Daigo Saito in the Achilles Tire / Bridges Racing Lexus SC430 takes the victory and closes in on the points leader Justin Pawlak in the Falken Tire Ford Mustang.

THE COVER MODEL

The Lovely Lady of Importfest, Jeri Lee

This month鈥檚 cover girl definitely proves the saying, 鈥淕reat things come in small packages.鈥 At 5鈥1鈥, Jeri Lee has everything you could possibly want in a tight, compact package. Her smoking hot body, warm smile and beautiful eyes almost seem too perfect for a mere mortal.
