as of right now, i don't think they're hosting any indepedent events. they just roll out to meets here and there. from what i hear, they're going to set something up later this year as a 'welcome topline' kinda thing and get more exposure. they're trying to be like L4P.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your interest in our TopLine. I started this club after years of passion in automobiles as a child and from inspiration from our car club Imports@USC. Since I am graduating from SC this May to start my business, I did not want this great feeling to go away. I am lucky to be surrounded by a supportive group of friends that became our team that will take TopLine to the next levels and bring car enthusiasts together with unique twists. We are in the process of planning an official first TopLine event so stay tuned on our page! Website will be done soon.

Many of my friends have beautiful cars with mods I respect very much. So not all of the cars in TopLine are mine (I wish ;D)

Although I am a student, I find time to work in my business to fuel my passion (and pay for this expensive hobby that keeps me motivated)

Please dont hesitate to contact me for any questions or concerns. Thank you all again

Come on, it's very normal for people who moved from China, Asia or studying aboard in USA.
Parent got ton of ton of money. Why?? Because almost most of the government in China make dirty money and have their child sent aboard to use all that dirty money.

Make scene now?

Yes, yes. I've heard a lot about this. My dad is Chinese but he was born in Thailand. He moved to the United States about 33 years ago because he saw the opportunity of this country, and he built everything from zero.

We all have opportunities in this country, and I'm one of those who see that.

Maybe she is just a puppet for the company.. The Owner is using her face to attract a bunch of single car enthusiast..

Hi Christina,

College students can make gobs of dough. I've seen pot smoking e-tards make millions off fiberglass. *Cough-cough _xtr_m_ Dim_nsions (buy a vowel)started out as a garage business in Irvine;* a premed who makes a rediculous who makes a ratio of 100 : .01 buying unclaimed shipped containers; Economic and sociology majors make ROI of over 35%-50% in a months time promoting night clubs.

If anything, I am an acquaintance of Topline Motors... the owner and his brother started out as High School students (never going to college) tinting windows and working on stereos. Now they own multi million dollar export and retail used car business.

Opportunists are out there.

I dont know about you guys, but there are far too many of these shops around....seems like a big one comes and goes every 4-5 years....

I remember I had a good friend who worked at Sprewell Racing (anyone remember them) they had some serious legit stuff....then he went to another start-up shop..and have never heard from him again


just seems to me that these shops come and go far to often...
I have no idea how some of these guys stay in business...like CEC, every time I drive by, they look like they're closed, Platinum Motorsports anyone? Sprewell Racing? And I know I'm missing a bunch

when a crew like this heads up to canyon w/o a coordinator who knows everyone's skill/limit and will try to maintain the pace ...stuff like this will happen

of course, i wasnt there so dont really know what exactly happened, but i've seen too many cases like this from both car clubs and sportbike groups

We paced on the way down. Went down at very safe speeds. Especially when we got pulled over by CHP at the very top just to warn us to drive safe. so we were extra cautious on the way down. We are fortunate to have my friend come out okay, and the passenger as well. Thanks for everyones concern.
