Triple Aught Design San Francisco
Amidst the fashionable boutiques and galleries of San Francisco's Hayes Valley lies an unexpected resource for outdoor apparel and accessories, but don't expect to find brightly colored down jackets and apre-ski goods lining the racks. What you will find are designs that have created a loyal following not only from outdoor enthusiasts, but also from many of the world's most elite special forces.
Since 1997, Triple Aught Design has been serving the needs of their customers from their e-tail unit online and from their retail outpost inside their warehouse-slash-headquarters. Their Hayes Valley location is their first standalone brick and mortar storefront and once inside you'll find an immaculately Apple-like interior filled wall to wall with their all-weather shells, knits, bags, and accessories. Its enough gear to fill a Tom Clancy novel and maybe live it too. 551 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA, 866-613-1386 - Link

Acquire Vs. The Yaris x Gran Turismo Club Sport Challenge
For two days a handful of select media outlets (including yours truly) were pitted against some of racing's elite for what was the first ever Yaris x Gran Turismo Club Sport Challenge. The event brought us to the famed Willow Springs Raceway, where we quickly ran through a racing 101 crash course with Danny McKeever's Fastlane Racing School and then it was off to the track where we put our newly learned skills to the
test.
After a day of practice, we hit the track in our Toyota Yarises where we battled against Nascar Driver Joey Logano, Motorcross Stars Justin Brayton, Davi Milsaps, and Joe, JD, and Coy Gibbs of the JGR Racing Family. Our Challenge? To record our best lap time plus our best virtual lap time in a customized track in Gran Turismo 5. And while I wish I could say Acquire brought home the trophy, that honor went to motorsport photographer, Sean Klingelhoefer, who not only recorded the best total lap time of the media, but also bested Joey Logano's GT5 lap time on the virtual track by a mere second. And in case you were wondering, Sean was only behind Joey by a second and a half on his actual track time. I think we can all agree that Sean needs to sit behind the wheel instead of behind the viewfinder.

Off Roadin' with Toyota
Its not everyday Toyota hands you the keys to a fleet of Trucks and SUVs to toy with on the off road playground that is the Cleveland National Forrest. We got a chance to put a few FJ Cruisers and Tacomas through their paces and after the experience we can see why the most loyal of American truck drivers are trading in their rusted Chevy and Ford belt buckles for a sparkly new piece of metal from the land of the rising sun.

Fender Custom Shop
Tucked away in a corner of their Corona, California headquarters lies the holy walls of the much venerated Fender Custom Shop. To the axe-wielding army of Stratocaster loyalists this is the Vatican and within these walls history is created and re-created on a daily basis. We were lucky enough to get some eyes inside the maze of artisans who since 1987 have been creating music's most storied and legendary guitars.
