Behind the Wheel 🏎

So, what's my last post to close out this year? It definitely has to be this! I had the out of body experience of being invited to attend a private track day at one of my favorite places truly in the world @cota_official with @paganiautomobili These videos don't do the sound of the roaring V12s justice to anyone who has had the fortune to hear these in person, just an orchestra...no a symphony of art and technology unlike anything one can experience from being in the passenger seat or from being #BehindtheWheel of. Massive thank you to the ENTIRE staff @paganiautomobili for the hospitality and new friendships, and grateful to have meet some of the most down to earth, but at the same time, the most wild group of people to spend a weekend with in my homestate at my favorite @F1 circuit. 2025 is coming with THIS energy, and I can't wait to share my experiences with you all again. I hope that the #NewYear brings everyone happiness and success in all of their endeavors because I want to see EVERYONE WIN!! Love you all Stay humble Stay positive Stay focused Stay Loving Happy New Year!!! #GetBTW #BehindtheWheel #GetOutAndDrive #GetBehindtheWheel #Cars #Pagani #paganiautomobili #paganihuayra #paganizonda #ItalianCars #COTA #circuitoftheamericas #Austin #Texas #AustinTX

#MemoryMonday A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend the @racer.hq Creator Summit in Long Beach, which was an incredible experience that brought together some of the most talented voices in the motorsports and automotive space. From meaningful conversations with fellow creators to gaining a deeper understanding of the strategy and execution behind high-level content, the summit offered valuable insight into both the creative and marketing sides of the industry. Grateful for the connections made and the knowledge shared. Looking forward to continuing to grow, create, and contribute within this space. Side note, for the love of all things holy @acura please make this HRC Integra concept a reality!!! #GetBTW #RacerMagazine #Automotive #LA

Late to posting as usual, but here’s a recap of what has to be one of the most record-breaking events I’ve seen. Huge shoutout to @larry_chen_foto and the @typesauto team for putting together a 25,000-person event right in the heart of Long Beach during race weekend. Absolute insanity from top to bottom. The entire parking garage was packed, and somehow only Larry can pull off something of this magnitude without it turning into total chaos. Massive respect to the community too. Everyone showed up, supported, and did what needed to be done to represent the car community the right way, and big thank you to @longbeachcity #GetBTW #LongBeach #LarryChen #typesnightlights #CarCulture

See you again 🛣️… #fyp #supra #gtr #mk4 #carsofinsta

Pulled up to the Petersen Automotive Museum to check out their brand-new Fast & Furious exhibit and it did not disappoint. From the legendary Toyota Supra to Dom’s iconic Dodge Charger, the lineup spans the entire franchise and brings some of the most memorable movie cars into the real world. Seeing them up close hits different if you’re a true fan of the series. Beyond the movie cars, the Petersen always delivers. Rare exotics, historic race cars tucked away in the vault, and some seriously exclusive machines throughout the museum. Every corner feels like automotive history parked in one place. If you’re an automotive enthusiast, this place is a must-visit whenever you’re in LA. #GetBTW #LA #PetersenMuseum

Late autumn nights. Perfect turbo weather. #jdm #skylinegtr #r33

This weekend was packed full of holiday cheer in attending many toy drives and donating a good chunk of my @hotwheelsofficial collection collected through the year! Stopped by the @405motoring x @brekkiecarclub holiday party, then followed by an early morning @anglesstudios to rally over to @motor4toys Though L.A. has MANY car events throughout the year, its the holiday community events that really show the love that fellow enthusiasts have for the hobby and community. #Getbtw #Motor4Toys #405motoring

#MemoryMonday Even though I didn’t make it to @official_rsday this year at Laguna Seca, it’s amazing to see how much the event has grown. Looking back at last year still feels surreal — driving my dream car on one of my favorite racetracks, a place I first learned through countless hours on @thegranturismo at @weathertechraceway . Sharing that moment with my younger brother, who spent all those hours gaming with me, truly made everything come full circle. Add in the friends made along the way, and it felt like an out-of-body experience… almost like being your own in-game avatar. Huge thank you to everyone who supports, attends, and keeps the passion alive. #Getbtw #RsDay

The 2025 LA Auto Show featured a lot of surprises an provided some incredible experiences!! It was amazing to see some familiar cars I’ve admired over the years such as @kinganytime R34 LS build, and riding and catching up with the awesome @helmethairr and many other familiar faces along the way. From futuristic concept cars to the latest models hitting the streets, this show had it all. Feeling inspired and already dreaming about the rides of the future! #LAAutoShow2025 #Getbtw #laautoshow

Its been a minute since Ive checked out the @carsandcoffeelosangeles at Griffith Park. Something about that early morning wake up, the crisp morning air and a warm cup of coffee. Always a great time to see familiar faces and checkout some cool cars. Cant lie the eye catcher for me was this Mazda Miata that was done up with this unique body kit, amd loved the Oni Advan wheels! Shoutout to @smile___no for the shots of the GT-R rolling through 🤗 #LA #CarsandCoffeeLosAngeles #GetBTW

Last night @brianpjannusch hit me up for some wangan action on the way to @malibuautobahn meet. Always good to get the car out, especially in this perfect boost weather 👌 You gonna drive your car Or look at it like a hotwheels I said what I said #GetBTW #BehindtheWheel #TopRankImporters

Purist Winter Drive 2025 was another amazing reminder of what this community is all about. Cars, friends and a shared mission to give back. Always great seeing familiar faces and catching up with people who have been part of this journey for years. Grateful for the chance to support kids in need and be part of something that continues to grow. Huge thank you to @puristgroup @seanlee768 @nikdans @toprankimporters and everyone who helped make this event happen.
