We were asked to do a small showcase at the Hip Hop Soda Shop and what can we say about this club? Good music and good times!!! Team PROFILE arrived the only way we know how; with lights flashing and engines roaring. We were reserved in their VIP area for the night. Amazing DJs with a mix of live performances made for good entertainment. Definitely a place to go if you want a night out without any drama. Everyone in the Hip Hop Soda Shop seemed to get along peacefully. A very laid back vibe with the party atmosphere made for a night to remember. Rivtor Media made an appearance with cameras flashing, making the night feel like a Rock Star's playground. The outside patio made for a quieter setting and the cool night air helped sober up from high of lights, bodies and booze. All in all, Team PROFILE had a blast and can't wait until the next event! -Romeo/TP

What can be said about the JDM Ups "Little Tokyo Night Show"? In one word, INSANITY! Never in my life have I seen so many cars gathering in one place for one event!!! There were clearly close to a thousand cars there! If you could imagine your local Super Wal-mart's parking lot filled to about 98% to it's capacity, THAT'S what this show was like! I think it was the type of response that any organization dreams of getting to one of their functions. There were all types of cars there as well, it wasn't JUST JDM! We saw everything from your everyday Honda Civic to your exotic Lamborghini Murcielago, Stock to extreme installs, all flavors of vehicles were present! People were organizing meets in all the nearby counties just to go to this event! We can all hope to host an event such as this! Good job guys, can't wait for the next one!!! -TP

And again, the Tampa weather doesn't let up for the car enthusiasts. Cobretti, Romeo and Papo headed out to Peabody's off of Bruce B. Downs for a very wet event hosted by TunerLifestyleTV.com. TLTV is an up & coming online tuner magazine which will feature Car Clubs from all over and there will also be online car shows every month but instead of trophies the winners will be winning prizes.  The site is chuck full of videos and pictures of clubs and tuners they've come across. Dex, the creator of the site said he's looking to feature the small time guys which sounds good to this tuner! -/TP

August 2nd 2008

It was boasted as a show for charity and that's exactly what it was NOT (when it came to car owners looking to win a trophy). Unless you owned a shop or had about $20,000 to spend on your car there was no way you were going to place in the top 3 at this show. Not to mention that the MC knew each winner by first AND last names. But regardless of the shady judging at this show it was definitely for a good cause. The proceeds went to military vets and active military personnel. The lot was chuck full of old school  American Muscle and new school off the wall creations. Fun was had none-the-less! -Romeo/TP

August 1st 2008

HCSO's District 3 held another "P.A.R.T.Y in the Park" event. With ball crawls and bounce houses, the kids at this event were having fun for hours. The children also had the opportunity to see Police horses up close and even sat inside of Tampa Police Department's SWAT tank. WiLD 98.7 supplied the music and Team Profile members, Romeo, Jr., Cobretti and Hector supplied the OOHs & AHHs!!! Team Profile was invited to other events coming in the near future and WiLD was approached through one of their Street Teamers to attend the soon-to-be-here Team Profile Show! All-in-all, the day was fun and filled the team members with pride from all the admiration coming from the children whom we went to impress! Thanks to the HCSO and TPD for the invite! -TP

July 20th 2008

The next morning after HIN the crew was joined by team member Papo and they all headed to Mazda-Palooza where the team took 2nd place Protégé, 2nd place Speed 3 and Papo took home 2nd place SUV. Can Team Profile EVER be stopped or are the trophy mantles just going to keep getting bigger?!?!?! I can tell you that Team PROFILE will never stop taking whips to the next level so all you haters stop the hate 'cause your just wasting your time and energy! Team PROFILE...WHAT?! -TP

July 19th 2008

The biggest car show of the year; HOT IMPORT NIGHTS was a blast! Tons of tricked out cars, loads of beautiful women and the aspirations to get into both. There is no show like it!

On this rainiest of days a few brave souls decided to go to "Jake's Hamburgers" Sundown Showdown show! At $10 to register along with a free cheeseburger, they had definite drawing power with the exception of the RAIN! Jake's Hamburgers served up one of the BEST burgers we've tasted in a long time! The juicy, high-stacked, hand-made burgers are a throw-back to the weekend BBQ's at your favorite uncle's house! Like my son said "These burgers are better than at McDonald's OR Burger King!!!". Team members Romeo, Cobretti, and Shawn registered for the show. Mike was there for support as always...THANKS BRO! We even had  a cameo appearance from Lala, thanks ma! Romeo once again took home "Best Truck" and Cobretti took home "Most Original". And the winning continues........ -TP

June 20th 2008

We celebrated Romeo's 23rd birthday at "The Alley" in Riverview. The 25-30 minute drive was worth it to enjoy all that this place had to offer. Our members enjoyed Billiards, Darts, Arcades, Bowling, Drinks and Food! Thanks to Jr., Lila, Bimbo, Cobretti and Mike for showing up and having a great time! Nice hangout spot Romeo, maybe when gas prices go down those of us who live further out can go and enjoy the place some more! -TP

Team Profile was stretched thin on this busy day. First up was the Boba show hosted by D2G... with much respect to Niko of D2G the show was a bit lack-luster and understandably so. On the exact date we also had another show hosted by Street Alliance. The Boba show was in an unfortunate location where most people couldn't distinguish between patrons of the ultra hip Boba shop and those participating in a show. The Street Alliance show on the other hand stood out HARD, with music blaring, a massive amount of vehicles and a definite feeling of competition. Team Profile members came out victorious winning Best Import (Cobretti), Best Lighting (Nene) and a second place for best Truck (Romeo). Thank you to the Street Alliance guys for a GREAT show!!!! Also, the professional video taken at the Yan-Ra album release event was published by 3 Studios Production, check it out right HERE!!! -TP

The first annual TMC car, truck and bike show is held at the USF sundome. Profile members  Romeo and Tony enter the show. Members Cristian and Papo, along with new club friends Richard (in the yellow Spec V) and Niko of D2G go to show support for our reps. Romeo wins  "Best in Show Truck" for the spectacular Juliet! Good job cuz! -TP

May 30th 2008

Team Profile members attended first Boba car meet organized by D2G Customz. Boba is the site of next week's car show (see details on our Events/Car Shows section). International Boba House is a cross between an Ice Cream shop and a Starbucks. They make delicious slushes which come in all conceivable flavors like Banana or Avocado, for instance. It also offers lounge-style seating areas which allows for good conversation or even a game of chess (as some were having last night), they have two 50" plasma TVs connected to X-Box 360s where you can catch a good game of Halo or Guitar Hero 3 (play time is timed as long as you're a purchasing customer). They also offer WiFi connectivity and desktop computers which are located in the rear of the shop. The atmosphere is conducive with a sophisticated college crowd

Cont.

due to Boba's proximity to USF. Overall, ample parking, cool drinks, good games and a Pizza shop right next door makes Boba  House an ideal spot for D2G Customz' Friday night car meets, nice job Niko!

What exactly IS Boba? Bubble tea also known as Boba, is a tea beverage that originated in Taiwan in the 1980s. The literal translation from Chinese would be pearl milk tea. The word bubble refers to "bubbling", the process by which certain types of bubble teas are made, and not the actual tapioca balls. The balls are often called "pearls." Drinks with large pearls consumed along with the beverage through wide straws; while drinks with small pearls are consumed through normal straws. Bubble tea is especially popular in many East Asian and Southeast Asian regions. -TP

Pictures were finally added to the website. The first pictures added were the ones from the Orlando show that we were prohibited from entering due to our impressive numbers and even more so impressive vehicles (I saw one of them wet themselves a bit)! Also, Team Profile's 2nd video of when we stopped to regroup and plan the next course of action on that day was added on YouTube.com and Myspace.com! -TP
