The Pacific Northwest’s show of the summer is here. August 23rd from 9AM-1PM at Carillon Point will be one of the greatest gatherings of automobiles the region has ever seen. From concours-level pre-war classics to 15+ hypercars, this will not be an event you want to miss. Celebrating a theme of car cultures from around the globe, we are honored to have @theheartofRacing Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH as well as one of the most famous pre-war cars of all time, the Bentley Speed Six “Blue Train” Gurney Nutting Coupé, headline our event poster and be attending on August 23rd as part of our British car culture display. Due to growth of the show and relating costs of bringing cars and people together from around the continent, we are now a ticketed event. With limited capacity at the venue, we recommend securing your tickets now before they sell out! We are proud to support @theheartofracing’s mission by donating a portion of ticket proceeds to the Seattle Children’s Cardiology Research Fund. This is just the beginning. In the coming days we will release our very exciting list of sponsors, special guests, and some of the best cars you’ve ever seen. See you soon. 📍Carillon Point | Kirkland, WA 🗓️August 23, 2026 ⏰ 9:00 AM-1:00 PM 🎟️Tickets are limited. Ticket link in bio.

New shoes, new attitude. Swapped on @fifteen52 52Outlaw 001 wrapped in @toyotires R888R’s (yeah… went a little unconventional on sizing) and it completely changed the feel of the car. Also started peeling back the look, passenger side vinyl is gone. Driver side still hanging on for now… not sure what direction I’m taking yet. What do you think, strip it down to the patina or bring something new into the mix? #thereisnosubstitute #aircooled #porsche #52outlaw

Another roundup from @thewarehouse.az @_arthousecollective_ event a couple weeks back. Still daydreaming and night scheming of all the walls we’d hang these collections, (and all the roads we’d cruise the cars). A genuinely outstanding assembly of artists and vision. ❤️🏁

The favored band #WAR, was formed in year of 1969...known for blending funk, rock, jazz, and Latin styles, it came upon the song #LowRider almost by accident during a studio session when saxophonist Charles Miller, inspired by his love for a 1952 Chevy, started ad-libbing the "low" vocal whilst being intoxicated and then in crashed the band with the rest of the tempo... . That story is not far from my love affair with my famed birth year @Porsche 356B, and wence placed upon proper chassis and suspension setup last year by @andrew_eagan661, she ran lower and ripped with equal funk fervor till a transmission made horrid, unwanted, non groovy band disentegrating sounds... . Flash forward, and I'm thankful that THE Pedro @skidblock and his @mobil.werks company made room and time to take Amarillo's transmission repair on...and if you don't know Pedro, you should as he's the chap who built Nico's @53porsche_lcp 1953 Pre A 356 bent window racecar...not only did they drive said ripper from Charlotte NC to the start of the famed @lacarrerapanamericana race in the bottom of Mexico, but they ran the race full flog, podiumed the classic division, then the two lads drove the car back up thru Mexico and all the way to Charlotte with nary an issue save for a faulty coil which they had a spare on board! Pedro built that 741, 12 bolt transmission to take the beating of the distance drive and the 6 day rally race, and it still propels itself for hoonery to this day! . Ole to getting my 356 back and bullet proofed so it can be properly pedaled for the coming OUTLAW RALLY APPALACHIA with others of similar bent minds and funky souls! . 1962 Porsche 356B #Outlaw 1953 Porsche Pre A 356

We wonder, when @driven.by.becca authored her vision of the Art House Collective @thewarehouse.az event for this year’s Arizona Car Week, whether she noticed the counting error in featured artists. 🚗 Four were titled, but falling short to credit herself among them for the mastery involved in designing such an elevated and elaborate experience was either an oversight by product of exhaustion, or sheer humility. 🏆 All we can say is, *wow*. Well done, Rebecca, and all your crew who worked to deliver such an assembly of talent and automotive awe beneath one roof. Honoring this car-of-cars, in the most thoughtful capacity, set a new bar for the Valley’s motor scene. 🏁
