Scenes from my video project with @issimiofficial featuring the Mercedes 190E EVO II from early this year.

Still have to pinch myself to believe I got to spend two days with this car. It lived up to all my wildest expectations and more. I would, without hesitation, give my left testi to be Klaus Ludwig and the other 190 drivers ripping around in DTM at the time…What. A. Machine.

P.S. best intake sound in the game?

Full video on ISSIMI’s YouTube Channel.

Had a blast @fat.icerace in Big Sky this past weekend. While the ice, the noise, and the sideways moments continued to replay in my head on the flight home, what really stuck with me was the people. Thanks for the shared stories, laughs, and coffees in the cold, but most of all—the shared obsession.

The cars are the excuse. The friendships are the reasons.

‘Laguna An Art Show’ was a good one.
Big thanks to everyone who came out yesterday to Laguna Studios at the Santa Cruz Art Center and showed support — we appreciate you more than you know.

The work will be hanging for a bit, so swing by and check it out. We’ll share additional viewing hours soon. And yes — everything is for sale if you’d like to take a print home.

See you at the next one. taken in Santa Cruz Art Center by @car.tales

For those of you looking to break into the car industry, this episode is a must-watch.

In Car Tales Episode 3, we follow Ethan, @citoscamera a twenty-year-old apprentice working at a classic car restoration shop located south of San Francisco. @thepitstopautomotive is run by Raffi Najjarian, and since its inception in 1990, Raffi has completed many award-winning restoration projects that have been displayed at events such as Pebble Beach Concours and Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.

Ethan spent his childhood admiring the very cars he gets to work on today, learning the tools of the trade at The Pit Stop. One day at work, he stumbled upon a BMW E36 M3 that he knew he had to make his own.

Head over to the Car Tales YouTube channel via the link in my bio to learn his story.

Mercedes CLK AMG Black Series manual swap? Yes please! A few clips from a new two-part series out on @otsandco YouTube Channel @car.tales produced. Head over to the link in OTS’s bio to watch the two part series.

In November, I joined the @otsandco crew—@dtamscott, @tottisracing, and @drivewithrobert—to film a series that compares a stock Black Series against a manual-swapped car completed by @kwiekclassics

During the trip, we not only conducted a road test but also visited @atlantamotorsportspark, where @randypobst recorded lap times to determine if the manual swap was not only more enjoyable to drive but also faster than the automatic version.
