This past weekend, we hit the roads of Upstate New York for a special birthday celebration surrounded by great friends and fellow automotive enthusiasts.
The route was spectacular, with a few quick downshifts along the way to avoid local wildlife crossing the roads, plus stops for incredible food and even a quick boat ride to ferry the cars across before finishing the trek home.
A big thank you to our good friends who joined us to live the Passion, History & Journey.
Fade to Blue.
After installing a rear OEM ducktail and painting it to match the factory Agate Grey on my GTS, I felt it was time to inject a little colour to complete the project. Following a great consultation with Marcus @qualityfilmsolutionsmilton , we decided to completely transform the look with a bold “Miller Blue” full body PPF and wake this car up, while still leaving some subtle hints of the original Agate Grey for contrast.
Huge thanks to the team for delivering fantastic service, seamless and professional results the GTS looks amazing!
The car will be on display this Sunday at our season opener for Cars & Coffee @pectoronto we’re looking forward to seeing everyone out to celebrate car season 2026.
A special shoutout to Luke for the incredible shots and climbing a bridge to capture those aerials the hard way, who needs a drone! @scarfonephoto and that’s a wrap!
Some events leave an impression.
Others feel like a turning point.
The AUTOSTRADA Magazine Season Opener at Porsche Experience Centre Toronto felt like something special for the automotive community here in Ontario.
From the atmosphere, to the conversations, to the level of intention behind every detail, the entire experience felt elevated.
Huge respect to @scarfonephoto , @autostradamagazine , and the team at @pectoronto for bringing together such an incredible mix of people, cars, and creative energy.
For me, events like this continue reinforcing the direction of AutoLux Imagery.
Not traditional event coverage.
Not just documentation.
Perspective driven imagery.
Abstracts. Design language. Light. Shape. Atmosphere. The details that make these spaces and machines feel the way they do in person.
Going forward, this is the lens I will continue exploring through these kinds of events.
AUTOLUX’d.
So here’s 19 abstract perspectives from the Season Opener.
We made history together as a community yesterday.
Thousands of enthusiasts and their vehicles came out to the Autostrada Magazine Season Opener Cars & Coffee, setting a record attendance at the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto.

We knew it was going to be epic… and damn, it was massive‼️Pulled up early in the mornjng and cars just didn’t stop till the end of the show. Cars rolling in nonstop, the whole place filling up fast, energy was just there from the start. Reventón and Valhalla as the showstoppers, and everything else around them just made it even crazier. Good sun, bit cold, didn’t even matter. Everyone showed up, everything was perfect.
Autostrada really went all out with this one… proper start to the season 🔥‼️

A huge thank you to @europeanautoworks.ca for bringing the latest upgrade on my 991.1 GTS to life.
This project featured a full installation and paint matched factory ducktail primarily designed for the 991.1 Carrera coupe and cabriolet giving the car a more aggressive, classic “OEM” look compared to the standard retractable rear spoiler. It’s a subtle but meaningful nod to the iconic 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7, the first production car to feature a rear wing.
The 991.1 generation stands out as one of the few modern Porsche platforms where you could spec a factory ducktail without it being tied to a limited edition model.
While it might seem like a simple paint and bolt on upgrade, there’s a lot more involved behind the scenes such as removing the motorized rear wing, disabling the automatic deployment system, and dialing everything in to achieve a clean, flawless factory quality finish.
It’s been incredible watching this transformation come together. Big thanks again to the team at @europeanautoworks for the craftsmanship and attention to detail.
One final piece is on the way… so stay tuned. To view the full feature and photo gallery on our newly launched website check out the link in my bio! Photos by @scarfonephoto 💪🏼

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of our inaugural Winter Cars & Coffee! Yesterday, over 200 vehicles and their passionate owners braved the chilly weather to enjoy coffee and hot chocolate at @garageandsocial_toronto .
The incredible turnout showcased a diverse array of vehicles, ranging from classic cars to modern exotics and everything in between. It’s inspiring to witness our community come together, even as winter lingers, proving just how strong our automotive passion truly is.
A special thanks to the fantastic team at @garageandsocial_toronto for their invaluable support in making this event happen. We deeply appreciate your friendship and partnership.
