The Hoonigan folks are car geeks to the core. Videos, jokes, and all of that mess are secondary to the machines. Everybody who hangs around the shop on a full-time basis has their car ready to go: from the “Shitcar” BMW to the absolutely monstrous Napalm Nova, from Hert’s “Twerkstallion” RX-7 drift car to Larry Chen’s Datsun Z, there’s a strong and varied collection of desirable machines that compose the group’s base. And they are a group of folks that love to have a fun time, so naturally any excuse to have a celebration will invoke some kind of party. The annual click of the odometer that is New Year’s seems like a perfect time for some shenanigans, doesn’t it?
Normally, at the Donut Shop, it’s one car and a high likelihood that a good burnout will get the fire department called to go investigate the billowing cloud of smoke. For the ringing in of 2018, it was eighteen wicked machines ranging from a UTV to a twin-turbo hot rod from hell lighting them off in grand fashion. The smoke cloud looks like a warehouse fire…any bets on how many calls the fire department got the other night over this one?
Too much fun!!! Happy F***ing new year!!!
