RIP Jon.. he was a down to earth type of dude! much respect and condolences to him and his family. I have his old e30 right now, and feel blessed that this car was raised in tire smoke, and still lives in tire smoke.

Wow, he definitely will be missed. RIP.

Shall his epic april fools thread be put to rest?

RIP to one of my original E30 brothers. Jon was the OG of low on here. I've know him for 10 years. If there was a car meet you could count on Jon being there. If it was raining in Socal I would always expect a phone call for a street drift session. It's really hard to see a friend pass. I'll never forget when use to pull up to a meet, run to his trunk and pull out a oil catch pan to throw under his car. Then, when he would leave, he would refill the motor with the oil that dripped out during the meet.

Jon, without you I would never have been pushed to drive so hard. The hand brake initiations and clutch kicks are tool you have taught me and will stay with me forever. I'll miss you buddy...

He had a beautiful vert. It's so sad to hear about things like this :(

First time I ever met Jon, was at the '08 Bimmerfest in SB.
He was crowded by a bunch of people, who like myself, couldn't get enough of his stories, on how he was on his 9th oil pan and counting....lol, very nice guy to say the least.

My condolences to his family, and may he rest in peace.

I met John at a German car meet in Brea back in '08 (Miro wheels, I think). Cool guy for sure.

Never met Jon, too bad because you guys share some good memories. I probably saw his car before I ever knew i wanted to dump mine...

R.I.P Jon Pham.

I first met him at an old Huntington Beach meet when he was just a kid figuring out what to do to his vert which happened to be an M tech 2. It was clean and completely stock back then. The last time I saw him and his car was at SBI on the rack getting a new oil pan, dumped on Type A's, dirty as shit, missing the front spoiler, stickers all over it, etc. I couldn't believe he was drifting an E30 vert of all cars. Last time I spoke with him, I thought the picture of his Lexus LS was photoshopped. He assured me it wasn't...he really was running that much negative camber. This was right before his LS caught on fire. He was a good guy who liked to have fun with his cars, that's for sure. I don't know how he passed but he was way too nice and too young to leave so soon.

On whatever plane of existence you may have moved to, Jon, may it be a peaceful one.
