Super Street Dec. ’08 Featured Article – Paul Gongora’s EVO IX

Congratulations to Paul Gongora and his 2006 Mitsubishi EVO IX for appearing in a full 6 page feature in Super Street Magazine December 2008 issue, pgs 042-047, plus a cameo on the cover. The article is very well written about building straight-forward/well executed cars and the excellent photography really brings out the PPG Wineberry Candy Paint. Super Street said, “When shifting through the sea of EVOs at this year’s Nisei festival, this purple-to-pink flowpping IX stood out llike a sore thumb.” Paul said, “I learned a lot patience not only in my team life, but in my personal life.” Team Hybrid cars has been setting trends for the past decade but we also teach our members to be trend setters not only in our team but in their personal life as well.

PASMAG Overdrive Dec. ’08 Feature Article – Archie Concon’s AWD Mirage

Congratulations to LV probie, Archie Concon’s 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage on being in a 5 page feature in PASMAG Overdrive Magazine which is inside of the December 2008 issue, pgs. 220-224. PASMAG Overdrive wrote, “Apart from the annual gatherings for SEMA and CES, the sweet sounds of turbo spool and tire screeching are seldom heard on the Vegas strip… Concon and his Mirage are proud members of Team Hybrid/Hybridhunnyz.com and PAS would like to thank James Lin and Chris Haydostian for helping find this one-of-a kind project. Props to Concon for investing his money into something we can all appreciate rather than losing it at the casino tables. This was a game he could never lose.”

PASMAG Dec. ’08 Featured Article – Frank Klepadlo’s tC

Congratulations to SoCal probie, Frank Klepadlo’s 2006 Scion tC in a 4 page feature in Performance Auto & Sound Magazine December 2008 issue, pgs. 074-078. PAS wrote, “When’s he’s not on the clock, Klepadlos association with Team Hybrid keeps him very active in the SoCal car scene showing off his own customized 2006 Scion tC…. There are even rumours it will appear in next summers FnF film. That would be nice bonus, but thanks to great sponsors like Karl @ AA Autoworks, Toyo Tires, Rotora, Sparco USA, Motul, Monarch Wheels and James Lin of Team Hybrid & HybridHunnyz.com, it’s already a force to be reckoned with.”
