Last 2013, the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs spent seven games trading punches and the Heat became the surprise winner against Spurs. Now for the 2014 NBA Finals, it seems that odds are turned and it became a little bit more difficult than last year.

In the first game, the San Antonio Spurs kickstarted the 2014 NBA Finals after a 110-95 win against Miami Heat. Spurs won the first game of the finals. Then in the second game, the Miami Heat leveled the odds after the score of 98-96. In Game 3, San Antonio Spurs leading the game against Miami Heat at the score of 111-92. And in Game 4, Spurs still leading at the score of 107-86 against Miami Heat.

It's all down to this; Game 5, held at their home turf AT&T Center, and if Spurs win, they'll be declared as 2014 NBA Champions and they did, after ending Miami Heat's 2-win streak at the score of 104-87.

This is the fifth time the Spurs won the championship since winning their titles in 1999, 2003, 2005, and 2007.

So here's to you, San Antonio Spurs (as well as top players Ginobili, Parker, Leonard, and Duncan). You deserved that title fair and square.

The Mecum Auctions Seattle

In a cloudy and rainy Friday afternoon in Seattle, I went to the CenturyLink Field Event Center to attend the first ever Mecum Car Auctions event held in Seattle. This is the first time they've ever had such a wondrous car auction event held here and I can't wait what the fuzz is all about...

Mecum Auctions Seattle - CenturyLink Field

Mecum Auctions Seattle - CenturyLink Field

A selection of the finest classic, vintage, custom and performance vehicles have been gathered for one of America's finest car auctions and this is the first time Mecum Auctions held at Seattle from Friday the 13th of June up to Saturday the 14th of June, 2014.

Mecum Auctions Seattle - CenturyLink Field

That event was televised via NBC Sports so those car enthusiast who never made it at the venue can still enjoy the car auction action at the comfort of their home.

I'm quite surprised that the legendary Bugatti Veyron supercar was in that venue.

The Calypso Coral Boss Quartet; four special Mustang Boss machines painted in Calypso Coral exterior color and way beyond compare than any other Mustang Boss machines.

This is one of the prime examples of a "resto-mod", a classic car that is restored and modified with some nice touches. Pretty cool, isn't it?

Fancy a limousine, sir?

Quite a bizarre encounter over this one! That's some kind of an Eastern Germany car called the Goggomobil and it's one of 10 units arrived on US soil.

That is a Lincoln Blackwood, a luxury pickup truck based on the Ford F150 and probably one of the rarest you can find because of its short-lived production. It's powered by a 5.4L V8 engine developing 300HP of power and 355ft-lb of torque.

And now, a short video tour I just shot at the venue:



Anyway, I really had fun at the Mecum Auctions in Seattle's CenturyLink Field Event Center. To me, this event served me one of the best pre-summer moments any car enthusiasts would love to spend. I don't know what that is but all those classic metal and the remains of the automotive industry's past displayed for auctions, this car auction is definitely one of the most successful, I can tell. Now, the only thing that's left is...how can I get that "auction guy" dialog out of my head...

As I finished this, the Mecum Auctions committee recorded their best car auctions in Seattle and the car that scored the biggest price tag is the 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible, sold at 3.5 million US Dollars.

If you've been there, I hope you had as much fun as I do.

Impul's new body kit for B17 Nissan Sylphy/Sentra

IMPUL SYLPHY

The Nissan Sylphy B17, launched since December 2012, is an everyday midsize sedan that no owner has even dared to modify one because...well, let's face it, it's already as boring as it went out from the factory. You don't really see any B17 Sylphy owner from Japan modifying their own for some unknown reasons but not today.

The folks at Impul provided a body kit specifically for the Nissan B17 Sylphy/Sentra and for 207,000 Japanese Yen, you can have your B17 Sylphy equipped with Impul's front half, side steps, rear skirts, and rear wing. These 17-inch Impul-made rims will cost 36,000 Yen each and the optional IMPUL emblem costs 7,000 Yen.

First time seeing a modified B17, though?
