2. Did you have any nick names when you were growing up?
I had many nicknames growing up…Sticks, Twiggs, bean pole, but my most favorite as a child was “Gizmo.” Yes as in the Gremlins movie. If you were to compare my face to that of Gizmo’s as a youngster, you’d be amazed at how similar we looked. not the hairy part, but the large eyes, small button nose, etc.  I loved it

3. How did you get started in this crazy scandelous modeling?
Crazy scandelous modeling? I’m not so sure we are talking about my career in modeling. I pride myself on not being risque, or in any term of the word “scandelous.” I have chosen paths that I can say I am proud of and hold my self respect high. I think bikini, lingerie, and yes IMPORT modeling can be done tastefully and with dignity. Be sexy, yet sophisticated… There have been girls that have accomplished this, and I am very proud to say that I am one of them.

Most people dont know that I am trying to learn how to drift a car. I try to practice every now and then. I do suck at it, I’m not going to lie…but I am most positive that I will be able to succeed in it and hopefully one day make more of a hobby of it!

5. Has that skill ever worked to your advantage?

Actually, it’s funny you ask that. I will say I am impressed by a man’s car…but other than that it means nothing. It’s a car…yes it’s nice, but it’s not going to win me over! haha I had a guy come up to me while I was out to eat with a friend of mine…I was waiting outside of this upscale restaurant and some guy came up to me and started hitting on me…he continued with the “beep beep” of his car unlocking and asked if I wanted to go for a ride. It was a beautiful Ferrari F430, but I looked at him and laughed. I exclaimed that he could have spent less on another version and gotten more bang for his buck. I continued with my telling him I work in the automotive industry and fancy cars dont phase me unless I’m driving it…or its a HUGELY awaited reveal of a new car…
I was a little bitchy, but shoot I can’t be bought by fancy things!! I’ll buy them myself!

Two years ago, Dima rolled an Accord that would make Paul Walker’s character in Fast & The Furious blush.  (Sedan to coupe conversion, anyone?)  It was then that Lady Luck smiled on him… he got a call telling him he’d won a contest he’d forgotten he’d even entered.  Dima had just won a new 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi from MTV2 & Midway Games in their L.A. Rush contest.

Not just an new car, but a show-worthy STi.  Lamborghini yellow paint with a purple glitter clear coat, and Bentley black stripes to give it an unmistakable appearance.  Not content to cut corners, MTV had the entire interior recovered in black suede and yellow leather to match.

Being that it was for MTV, the car wouldn’t be complete without a full Eclipse I.C.E. system with double-din navigation, full three way component speakers custom mounted in suede-wrapped door, and extending

into the trunk.  Christmas had definitely come early.

While many would’ve been content to drive a free show car, Dima wanted a track-worthy animal.  That’s when he met up with THMotorsports who couldn’t resist sponsoring the one-of-a-kind Scooby.  Together, they planned out an upgrade path that would give the car as much ‘go’ as it had ’show.’  The first step was to strip the 400lbs worth of fiberglass and subwoofers out of the trunk to resurrect the STi’s superb balance.  (Sorry, Xzibit!)  A set of Stance GR+ Pro coilovers, Cobb swaybars, and Perrin PSRS gave the car Time Attack worthy handling.   The competent four piston Brembos were upgraded with Axxis Ultimates and FTP stainless steel lines.  With carving and stopping covered, the engine was ready to be massaged.

Making 300hp from the factory was respectable, but this car needed to move as fast as it looked and that called for 500hp.  For that kind of power, THMotorsports decided to force fed the stock EJ25 with a Greddy 18G turbo cooled by a Spearco intercooler.

With some impressive supporting hardware from Walbro, HKS, APR, and Power Enterprises, it was time to tune the beast.

After eight hours of quality dyno time spent with a Cobb AccessPort, we were sure every last once of power had been extracted from the car.

Our goal had been met, the car peaked at a blistering 402hp to the wheels.

The Bumble Beast was born.
