Ok, so listen. It’s my birthday this week…December 15th. Normally I wouldn’t make a big deal about it. But, I am this year, so everyone is going to have to deal with it. I don’t really want anything, but I’m looking forward to seeing everyone and anyone that wants to rock n’ roll for the occasion. Holler at me this week, I will love you forever!

COME SEE ME! Vegas SEMA Meet/Greet times & booth #’s!

aaronvaccar — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 19:42:45 +0000

As I post this, I am currently in the AutoLife Tour rig cruising across the wonderful U S of A. My company, my project partners, my clients, and myself have a ton of hard work and dedication going into getting ready for the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas! Just off the top of my head, as I hastily type this out; we have a new project debut in the Ford Motor Co. booth, and we also have a special meet & greet time set up in The Club booth, which will feature our AVSS Ford Fusion. Also, we will be on hand with some Blood & Grease gear!

If you are going I want to see you there, come say hi!

Mr. B’s; Masculine and contemporary with a polished heritage.

“Masculine and contemporary with a polished heritage” … I love this brand already.

Quick side note: YES, I jump back and forth between indie/street wear/my own Blood & Grease brand/etc, to rock star, to classy…BUT, in all honesty I change my style and what I like from time to time in my own life, often mixing the genres in the midst of my transitions, sometimes making the best come out!

Anyway’s, lets jump into this brand!; “Mr. B’s“

I got word from my friends over at ALDO about their newest offering for men, Mr. B’s, reffered to as a “gentleman’s boutique”…outstanding. I am so into every product, in one way or another, even though I personally wouldn’t wear everything…it all just flows together so well…I’m into the feel.

Lets check some of the line up;

Love these, blue “Blake” wingtip shoes, also available in 2 other colors;

I’d find a way to rock these, brown “Decost”, also available in 1 other color;

The “Sardella”, a little too big for my taste, but nice finish (also in brown);

Sooo not me, but I still love this, “Hammeren”;

If you want to scope out the rest of the line, check their website out!; www.gentlemensboutique.com

Also, don’t forget to check out the debut fall line from my clothing company, Blood & Grease (www.bloodandgrease.com)!

Let me know your thoughts!

Hotness: Seventh.Ink Release Haunted Collection 2 Box Set

aaronvaccar — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 14:04:57 +0000

First, 2 things: I need to blog more, and I need to start sharing some of my obsessions within the apparel industry. I love clothes, I recently started my own clothing line, and I need to talk more about this area of my life!

Anyways, here’s something that recently caught my eye; The company Seventh.Ink recently release their ” Haunted Collection 2 Box Set” – Of which only 7 were made (sounds fitting?). I love the whole concept, and more importantly I am digging the designs this year, and especially the laser engraved box! It will cost you $95 if you want to be fresh and one of the exclusives to pick up this limited set!

My fav is probably one of the first two I posted; “Shakespeare’s Wolf” and/or “Midnight Owl“. They also have some pretty cool other stuff, check out their site!

We had a blast at the first RPM event when it made its debut in Chicago earlier this year July (check out Facebook page for the pic’s here!). Looking back after a year of touring, I believe we saw most of our favorite cars show up at this event, in additional to the overall atmosphere they created – it was just awesome!

Anyways, the RPM is coming back to Chicago for ‘Round 2′ and we’re sure its going to be just as great this time around! They are changing some things up, so don’t expect it to be the same show twice! This is one of the last official AVSS Tour stops for 2010 as well!

aaronvaccar — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 18:27:47 +0000

So, as just another reminder, I wanted to let everyone know that we are hoping for the best (weather) for the Solon Cruise (tuner night) tomorrow in Solon, OH.

Here is some info about the cruise, taken from the AVSS News Blog;

“Aaron Vaccar recently announced on his personal Facebook page that the AVSS Tour will be attending one of the greatest local cruises in the North East Ohio area: The weekly, Tuesday-night Solon Cruise. Specifically Aaron and the Tour will be setting up the display and rig on the “Tuner / Sport Compact” night, which is on the 28th of this month. Of course, as with any of the other themed nights, all cars are welcomed.

If you want to park is several of the reserved rows for the “Tuner” night, then you might want to arrive a bit earlier than the ~5-6pm start time. However, feel free to show up whenever you get a change, early or late. If the weather is nice, you can expect anywhere from 500+ cars!

We are hoping to see a lot of our Ohio car friends and crews here for this night, so make sure to swing by and enjoy the fun!

2012 Ford Focus ST ((hand claps))

aaronvaccar — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 14:07:50 +0000

I have been pretty impressed with Fords next generation of some of its models of vehicles, as well as some of the new vehicles that are being released. However, while browsing AutoBlog.com today, this little gem especially perked my interests.

Aside from the previously released photos of the new body styling that can be assumed to head our way in 2011 (2012?) for the new Ford Focus, there is word of an even hotter version. What you see before you is the 2012 Ford Focus ST – a performance based model of the Focus. Power is provided by an EcoBoost (insert excitement for use of a turbo) 2.0L inline 4 cylinder motor, which will be producing 247 horsepower. Ford also nodes at the probability of an upgraded suspension and handling package for this model.

While most readers are probably already wondering if the US will get this model (as we seem to always be excluded from the cool versions stateside), Ford has made it clear that the ST is bound for “all global markets from early 2012″, which raises hopes that this indeed while reach our shores

My take on this new model is that it will surely be a popular platform for tuners and aftermarket parts makers to jump all over – The engine platform, obviously, being the main reason. However, in my personal opinion the styling and interior really won me over. I love the large layout for the screen, and did you notice the gauge package peaking out up top?

What don’t I like? The could do with out the center exhaust, although it wouldn’t be a deal breaker. However, I would like to see this come stock with some 4/2 piston OEM Brembo brakes. I am also interested in seeing this model in other colors/interior colors as well!\

So, what are your thoughts? Hot or not?
