Welcome to The G. Spot!
When DJ asked me to be a part of this awesome collaboration, I couldn't resist. Good looking D.
Lets get right down to business. As you now know, this corner of the block is called the G Spot or G's Spot. Allow me to explain. G is my nickname and this is my spot. Got it? Good. I knew what you all were thinking! Just kidding. Just breaking the ice a little. Well here we go.
From fine cigars to alligator shoes. From artwork to sports and nutrition. Here is where you will get the 411. Now be not dismayed, we will discuss and explore many more topics and issues. These are just some of the main ones that will be discussed often.
When I say discussed I mean explored, specific details, detailed directions, directions for methods, areas for purchase, and various updates on products and some current events concerning them.
I don't claim to be an expert but I am a advent follower and disciple of things pertaining to what will be noted on the blogs to come.
I am glad to have this opportunity to share with you and promote the efforts of my homie DJ. So with that being said, sit back, grab something to drink light that cigar (if you smoke of course) and fasten your seatbelt because you are about to be in for one hell of a ride.
Hey, please remember this. I will do my best to make these readings interesting and tactful. Im not the greatest but i am striving for perfection and in this case through my writings. Richard Bach puts it this way..."A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit". I am somewhere in between the two.
Stay classy yall. Deuces

My 01 Dodge Stratus RT Coupe design (below left) was a lot of fun. For an affordable accessible car, I think the Strat RT catered to the eye of the blue collar spectator. Other Strat RT owners or mid-range car owners that it gave a bit of inspiration to. It showed them that when designed right, a mid range affordable ride can keep up with the higher end products. @ shows, meet & greets, and special promo events, I've parked this car next to some much more expensive vehicles, and it received just as much attention...Sometimes more.
The latest project car had to be the exact car and color that I wanted...The pearl white Nissan 350Z (above right). It feels good to have a platform that is heavily supported within the import tuner/JDM aftermarket scene. I'll be laying out the paper work of how this Z33 will look and perform. Jtune will be the Doctors that will do the operating. As any Tuner Enthusiast would know, there's a TON of right ways to go with a Z, and a TON of wrong ways. When building a car that has mad amounts of aftermarket support you have to keep ONE word in mind when it comes to what product to invest in...That word being "Quality!"
How my love for Autos started...
Just like most boys growing up I was always into sports and cars. From growing up as a small child with boxes filled to the brim with hot wheels, and match box cars, to an adult who'll still collect a rare, mint 1:24Th scale replica when he comes across one.
Growing up, it was mostly my Grandfather who handed down an unmistakable impression to his five Grand children as far as the automobile. My Grandfather was a GM/Chevy man. All domestic, all American. If it wasn't GM/Chevy...It just wasn't. Being the youngest of five I watched as my older siblings fell right into the tradition of owning GM/Chevy products. My mother as well. From my oldest sister's SUPER sweet '70 Chevelle SS, to my mother's '68 Pontiac Firebird moving on to the Grocery getting Pontiac Ventura that packed the standard V8 350. Today that would be in the same muscle car line as the Nova.
When there was a rare time in which my Grandfather even mention an Import, the only word to come out of his mouth was "Toyota." That was the one Import brand he believed in as far as durability. That inspired my oldest brother to pick up a '74 Toyota Celica, which was kept diamond clean! I don't remember ever seeing that car at a point were you didn't need sunglasses to look at it! Knowing what they know now, my oldest sister and brother are are really missing their old school rides.
As I got older (mid 80s teenager,) I started observing my Grandfather even more when it came to auto care. It was the way he took care of his cars and trucks that struck me the most. He just focused hard on keeping them super clean, and running like new. Interior, Exterior, Trunk, Wheels, and Engine. He was just a fanatic when it came to keeping a clean, solid performing auto. His trucks were treated with the exact same care. One day he told me his trucks were his "work horses." "If you take care of your work horse, your work horse will take care of you." Still till this day I hold that to heart when it comes to taking care of my autos. My SUV "work horse," gets the same engine upkeep attention as my pampered Pearl 350z.
So All my love for the automobile was definitely started from the man who was my only hero in life...My Grandfather, the late Layton George Berry... Pop Pop, thanks for my being my inspiration in everything I do.

Welcome to my Blogspace!
I decided to create another online home in which my friends, old, new, and future, can get a little closer as to who I am, and what I'm into. For the most part, my blogs will circulate around the custom auto, tuner, sports car lifestyle. From car shows, to motor sports events. One on one talks with shop owners, builders, and designers that I have the privilege of meeting. Hope you frequent my blog space often! Feedback is always welcome from any viewer.
