Wheel shots are absolutely some of the most amazing things you can see.
The .co event on Sunday was 🤌🏼 amazing. Best show I've been to, at least. I followed Justin around like a puppy for half of it cause i had no idea what to do (I don't think he appreciated that much, lol sorry Justin) but for the first time shooting a full event on my phone? I'd say I did damn well. And it was fun.

We love spending time with the great car community here, but it's also nice to bug out and enjoy the woods.

Spent a great evening hanging out with the crew and the FR500S that has our name on it during the weekend at ! What a gorgeous evening for racecars, story swapping, and after-race fun. Get out and go racing!
There's just something special about cars on film. Who else enjoys analog and autos?

Late night post with Justin
Alright so, Monday of this week I was with my friend and to be fair with you, we had found some clean cars at and . First time seeing a Revuelto, the yellow is the perfect color for this car. What do you guys think?

Your weekly Post with Justin!!
So, two weeks ago Down to Earth was being hosted at Adam’s County Fair. It was my first time ever going and to be honest, that was really fun. Everyone brought their builds to show their progress and or the final product of the build. This event did include Indoor/Outdoor Car showings, Burnout Pit and Drifting.
If you went to Down to Earth, Let me know what your thoughts were of it!

More seat time in the Z Nismo at the 2024. Good noises, neat styling cues all over nodding to vintage Z cars, VR motor and NISMO goodies like 4 piston Akebono fronts, improved suspension and more. The car is an incredibly fun point and shoot missile at $68k. Sadly, no manual, making way for a dual sequential 9 speed trans. We’ll have lots to share from this experience in our next issue after a much needed break. Check out Issue 8 which just dropped last Friday, link in bio.

We got to take the 2024 Z Nismo for a drive around Frisco Lake today as part of the 2024 press drive. The thing is predictably a riot, balancing healthy turbo power and sharp handling characteristics. We also had our cameras, so we took a roller shot or two...
Mini review to come as we complete the press drive over the next day and compose our thoughts!

Surprised to announce two folks nailed it! Congrats to @silverrotary on instagram and Chuck Goldsmith. The car is a 1985 Bitter Senator Coupe, or SC 3.9. It was a revisited Opel Senator using Opel’s Cam in Head straigh six, stroked out from 3.0L to 3.9L running through a GM TH180 3 speed slushbox, and the interior from a @maserati biturbo. Exciting to drive? Ehhhh. Stylish? You bet. I was lucky enough to steward the car from 2013 to 2016 when it headed to Sweden. #bitter #car #rebody #weirdcars
