El progreso cultural florece en el terreno de la yuxtaposición. La representación que Diske Uno hace del 993 de Reuben Ramirez es un ejemplo en múltiples capas. El automóvil: un icono alemán construido al estilo JDM, bajado sobre unos icónicos rines japoneses —Regamasters en frente y los TE37 en el trasero—, el 993 de Reuben se distingue de manera impactante de lo convencional.
La trayectoria artística de Diske comenzó con un aerosol en las calles de Sinaloa, donde evolucionó hasta convertirse en un respetado artista multidisciplinario. Hoy en día, su fusión de motivos indígenas mexicanos en contextos contemporáneos capta miradas mucho más allá de su México natal y de la extensión urbana de Chicago, su actual hogar.
Diske afirma que su colaboración con CIO presenta a “un niño soñador que, a través de su creatividad, construye su propio camino día a día en un mundo repleto de posibilidades.” Un reflejo de los métodos de trabajo, tanto suyos como de Reuben, puestos en práctica.
Cultural advancement blooms in the soil of juxtaposition. Diske Uno’s depiction of Reuben Ramirez’ 993 is an example in layers. The car: a German icon built JDM-style. Sat low on iconic Japanese wheels, Regamasters up front, TE37s out back, Reuben’s 993 stands strikingly apart from traditional fare.
Diske’s artistic journey began with a spray can on the streets of Sinaloa, where he evolved into a respected multidisciplinary artist. Today, his blend of indigenous Mexican motifs in contemporary settings catches eyes far beyond his native Mexico and the urban expanse of his Chicago home.
Diske says his CIO collab features “a dreaming child who, through his creativity, builds his own path day-by-day in a world full of possibilities.” A reflection of both his and Reuben’s methods in action.

A few years ago, we attended Checkeditout Monterey and Checkeditout Chicago—great events with even better people. The team just put together a coffee table book “Off the Map” featuring the last seven years of shows, and we’re honored to be included.
A beautifully done collection, highly recommend picking up a copy.
If you get a chance to check out a Checkeditout event, don’t miss the opportunity!
Thanks @adammkern@checkeditou.io@andybizub@autoarts.co

The streets are calling for more Porsches to head to Chicago. @checkeditout.io just announced their 2026 event date, which means we’re already hyped for the location announcement. Are you ready?
Episode 49 is now up and Lawrence has Andy Bizub on, fitness enthusiast, one of the owner’s of Midwest Performance Cars, Co-Founders of CheckedItOut and Co-Authors of the new book ‘Off the Map”.
This book showcases the love for Porsche cars and the welcoming community they've created in Chicago based on that mutual interest. The book elegantly tells the origin story of CIO and walks the reader through with photos from pro’s, amateur’s and participants as well. They also dive into Andy’s previous career as an agricultural stock broker, how he gained the opportunity to get into the business and what he learned from his time in that field.
They discuss how he started MWPC as well and how he applied his business mindset to developing and maintaining a successful mechanic shop.
Andy also visited RWBB back in the fall and did a full training session with Lawrence, they talk about his experience working out here and the the different tools/approaches they utilized to get the job done.
