2001 Toyota 4Runner SR5 (2 Wheel Drive) 
OWNER:  PK

Ktown213:  Hey PK, thanks for allowing Ktown213 to do another feature with you.  We featured you last time, but now we're featuring your dope ride.  Tell us about your team, your ride, and yourself, and how you got into modifying your car and all that cool junk.

PK:  My brother-in-law John and his crew started our team in 2007 and I'm now the current president.  Our crew is called The Calculators because only 4.0 GPA students are allowed.   Don't even try to race in our crew if you get a B in math.   That's just embarrassing.  Also NO traffic tickets.  If you get one, you get a one year probation and two tickets means you're out.  We're here to change the perception of bad Asian drivers.     
 
Ever since I was young, I would lie awake at night dreaming of buying my first used Toyota 4runner.   There's nothing like the force and power of a two wheel drive gas guzzler.   People with  hybrids don't really appreciate how precious it is when you visit them.  When you own an SUV, you make sure your friends know how much gas is. 
 
Every time I enter my 4runner at Import contests like Hot Import Nights or Spocom,  I always get these haters telling me I don't belong, but my dad told me they're just jealous.  They yell "4Dumber!!" but they don't know I replaced the original factory engine with a 12 cylinder Ferrari Enzo.  That's 0 - 60 in 3.14 seconds in my 4Runner.  The look on the faces in Glendale are priceless.  Yes, I live in Glendale and I gotta give props to Armenians.  No one flosses harder than Armenians.  They floss harder than Koreans who live in apartments.   There are a lot of similarities between Koreans and Armenians:
 
                    
Similarities between Koreans and Armenians:
 
-  FLOSS HARD even if you live in an apartment.  Mercedes, BMW, or Lexus ONLY. NO other Cars allowed. 
-  Get Shiny rims. As Shiny and large as possible.  Spinning rims get extra points.
-  Name brand purses only.
-  Every girl crew must have one girl whose hair is blonde.
-  Smoke as much as possible.  Always. No matter what time it is. After breakfast, lunch, dinner.  At Starbucks, at the market, inside your car, next to your car.  At church. 
-  Drink as much as possible.  For any reason.
-  No matter how much you drink, go to church on Sunday.
-  Don't associate with people outside your race. 
-  Speak your country's language when others are around.
-  Don't marry outside your race.
-  Own every market and dry cleaners in town.
-  Find one city and take it over.  I mean completely take it over  until you actually see white people packing up and leaving in a caravan to Thousand Oaks or the OC.
 

KT213: 
Um...that was quite a reply...and um...what are your future plans for your car...I guess?
PK:   I plan to add  48' gold rims.  I want spinning rims that make whistling noises at girls when I drive by.   I also plan to add a moon-roof with stars painted on them so that its always romantic. Most people want leather seats but I prefer high grade plastic.  All girls love leather but you can really test if your girl loves you with plastic seats in the summer.  Buy her short shorts and if she has a good attitude all summer, get her a ring.  
 
 
KT213:  Thanks PK....any shout outs?
SO:  John, Paul, and Ralph from KTOWN213!  TRULY underappreciated in our community. And special thanks to singer and model, Kaila Yu!
