This charity event with models was more than just models in bikinis washing cars, but to support an icon in the automotive scene, Big Abe. Most of you guys should know Big Abe by his appearance at various events with a wheel around his neck. Couple of weeks ago, an unfortunate news was shared by Big Abe about his new born daughter leaving earth and now, resting in a better place. It was a shocking news to many of us who knows Big Abe and since then, his friends wanted to help him out in any way, which is why this charity event was held for the funeral cost and other things related to his daughter. I haven't known Big Abe for a long time, but since the first time I met this guy, he was always welcoming me as a good friend, and I had to make it out to this event to support.
Now how will you rate an event if well-known models in bikinis washed cars. I give it a 5/5.
Unlike other charity events, the idea of bringing out models and washing cars was absolutely brilliant. I'm sure people who got their car washed purposely went on a canyon run before the day of the event, just to get it dirty.
The crowd was going in and out because this event was not actually a car event, but rather dropping by to get the car washed and make a donation.
Quick preview!
After the SILK Car Meet at Anaheim, I headed directly to this charity event and upon arrival, spotted these two beauties.
Our photographer Nick Schultz came as well and we were shooting together throughout the whole event. Part 2 will be his part, so make sure to check back!
The lot was greeted by these three Euros that blew my mind away.
Especially this Red Audi Wagon on BBS LMs.
I had a difficult time trying to leave this car because it was too sexy.
Gold Rivets and custom colored faces. Winning!
You won't see a combo like this. Gorgeous.
Hellaflush!

Remember that mini swimming pool I was talking about? Well there's Big Abe in it! This photo reminds me of Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift. Watch it and you'll see why.
Great turnout and hoping Big Abe the best! If any of you guys can make a donation to Big Abe and his family, his paypal address is pst_abe@ymail.com. An early thanks to all of those who donated!
