JDM Underground's Yabangan Nights

Of course hindi na maari isuko nung taong taga Batangas yung Yabangan nights ay dahil ginawa na niya itong sariling hanap buhay, at kaalinsunod nito, like in any other provincial government, was easily given recognition and blessing to operate solely or in conjunction with a local fiesta and/or similar event. Such titles, which he claims through plaques and certificates are proof and are real, but it doesn’t automatically translate his Yabangan Nights to be recognized as the real, authentic and transcendent event that has touched the lives of a lot of purist, has challenged norms, and has often slapped you, waking you up, pouring water over your face, telling you throw away those fake parts, put on some real and authentic ones.

Like I said in my blog, a year or so ago, that JDMunderground is the Pioneer of cool. These guys started the year 2008, it was an invite for a run and meet, composed of one of the best looking cars out there, it was undeniable that it was dominated by Hondas. But through the years, we saw more purposeful and brilliant builds by the Nissan, Mitsu, Subbie and of Toyota enthusiasts.

What makes JDM Underground’s YN super untouchable is the quality of cars. Yun lang ang masasabi ko. Maaring isapuso ng taga Lipa ang kanilang Yabangan Nights tuwing fiesta, gawin nila hanap buhay o di kaya parte ng kanilang kultura doon, but at the end of the day, mga kaibigan ko mga taga Batangas, I appeal to you, I invite you to see, though pictures, through live meets, through the SMX shows kung ano ang kaledad ng mga kotse ng JDMU cars at ano ang kaibahan nito sa mga kotse ninyo sa Lipa Yabangan Nights.

Straight catalog Mugen , Feels, Spoon, Js Racing Civics ITRs and Jazz, full on Toms and TRD Corollas, a slew of nasty R35s, Zs and Silvias, couple of RX7s which you might have only driven only in the arcades (hehe I have a soft and kind heart for the RX7s), the boys of AWD Squad joining the fray with their tastily modified and/or restored Evos and WRX/STIs, K20’d Civics na parang normal at walang ka effort effort, loaded modern build facing their counterparts, equally loaded 10-15 -20-25 years apart, cars that make you even think if you can afford one in your lifetime, cars that make you think if you can see through its limited numbers and ever see one or have one in your lifetime, SMX Show-ready cars, the people: owners, enthusiasts, the movers and shakers of the industry all present and supportive, wheels, gauges, brakes, collectors items that can easily buy you a house and a brand new car and a lot more its too much to mention my whole blog session isn’t enough.

I absolutely have no intention to ridicule, to spark a fight or to rally the other side, that’s not my style everyone knows that. I just want to make things clear and to invite our fellow enthusiasts from Lipa Yabangan Nights, to see and witness what makes JDMunderground so damn great. Builds and projects so great that the international media has taken notice even years back. So damn great cars have landed in Magazines and various media outlets, so great they win Best of, Best in, best of at the biggest shows, so damn great that it has taught a lesson to a lot of enthusiasts and has sparked the formation of a clean culture, so damn great nahihiya ang iba pumunta at nagaalinlangan, so damn great that its exclusive, so damn great, yes you guessed it, its not for everyone…..

10 minute blog by yours truly. Good night. :)
