Remember that trip we took to Texas a while ago to visit
Ahobbs? Well, during that trip AutoLife TV met the “Squirrel Squad” while at
WekFest Texas. It might be shocking to people that follow AutoLife, but for the
most part people have no idea who Brandon (ALTV Everything Guy) is, so when he
walks up to people and introduces himself they typically look at him like “who
the hell is this dude, and what does he want?”, if the people/person is cool,
Brandon might pursue the conversation, at some point Brandon’s daily grind
might be revealed, which usually ALWAYS results in a look of “you’re full of
shit bro”, but that is the beauty of it all.
Back to meeting the “Squirrel Squad”… They had a pretty good
representation at WekFest TX, and looked liked they were genuinely enjoying the
event. Between judging a couple classes and shooting the official WekFest TX
video coverage Brandon found time to chat with some of the crew and even
offered them the “deal”, as expected Brandon got the "you're full of
shit" look, along with a couple "this is too good to be true" expressions. But one member took it upon himself to look into things a
bit deeper, his name is Mike Gutierrez and he is the owner of the insane Civic
you see in these photos. Since then Mike and Brandon have kept in touch, talking about changes to the car, life, and his new Skunk2/KraftWerks sponsorship, sssshhhhhh.
We asked Mike about some of the drama surrounding this car
after WekFest TX, after some disagreements regarding the winners were posted
online along with a “meme”, come to find out he had nothing to do with the “meme”
or the beginnings of the drama… We’re actually happy his car doesn’t “fit” certain
others criteria, because now we don’t have to worry about looking like we
jumped on the bandwagon… Mike has a lot more plans for the car, which we can’t
wait to see. Hopefully we can get some more of the “Squirrel Squads” cars shot
so we can show them some love here on ALTV! Oh and don't trip, we WILL be asking them more about where they came up with the name...
We even got a video of the rest of the crew for you all to check out! Enjoy!
The beans were spilled when the bondo on one of the fenders cracked.
