Why Fast Friends Exists
What’s up, I’m Ali.
Cars and art have been the two threads running through most of my life. My dad’s ’64½ Mustang became my first car, while drawing, graffiti, comics, painting, and design gave me something that always felt like mine.
A street-racing crew called Big Brother Racing taught me how to wrench, build, fabricate, and chase dumb ideas with friends. That eventually collided with design through Good Ink Clothing, work around Wu-Tang’s anniversary projects, D1 Grand Prix, and later roles across action sports and automotive brands.
Then a family trip in 2017 changed the direction again. We got a Subaru stuck on a muddy Wrightwood back road, were recovered by a Jeep, and I decided I needed something more capable. That decision became Kate, my Jeep, and opened the door to off-road, overland, SEMA, KC HiLiTES, Rigged For Dirt, trail stewardship, Project Twobaru, and a community I never expected to find.
Fast Friends grew out of that community.
It isn’t really about shirts or socks. It’s about the people, the trail, the shared stories, doing some good while we’re here, and the weird speed at which complete strangers can become family when everybody shows up for the right reasons.
That’s the whole idea: 7amily first.
I started Fast Friends to make something that felt like the people I met along the way: real, gritty, fun, generous, and more interested in showing up than showing off. Thanks for being here, 7riends.
