The 1963 Chevrolet Impala built by **Roadster Shop** as part of their **“Survivor Series”** is a masterclass in blending classic looks with modern performance. Known as *Barry’s ’63 Impala*, the project started with a beautifully restored original Impala Sport Coupe. Rather than reimagining its appearance, Roadster Shop preserved the car’s iconic exterior and trim, focusing all their engineering effort beneath the skin. The result is a car that looks like a well-kept classic but drives like a modern performance machine — the essence of the Survivor Series philosophy. Underneath, the Impala rides on a **Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis** built specifically for 1958–64 full-size Chevrolets. This modern frame brings with it tubular control arms, a four-link rear suspension, coilovers, rack-and-pinion steering, and Baer disc brakes. Power comes from a **6.2-liter LS3 V8** producing around **480 horsepower**, paired with a **Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission** and a **Strange Engineering nine-inch rear end**. To handle the newfound grip, the rear wheel tubs were discreetly widened by about 4.5 inches per side, accommodating massive **Forgeline RS6 wheels** — 19×9.5 inches in front and 20×12 in the rear — wrapped in Diamondback Classic Redline tires. Despite the serious upgrades, Roadster Shop retained the Impala’s clean, understated aesthetic. The car still looks period-correct, with all its original chrome and trim intact, and only subtle hints — like its stance and wheel fitment — suggest what lies beneath. Inside, the theme continues: a largely stock-appearing cabin updated with hidden modern conveniences such as stealth power window switches and contemporary electronics. This ’63 Impala exemplifies what the Roadster Shop’s Survivor Series is all about — honoring the design and character of a vintage car while giving it 21st-century performance, comfort, and reliability. It’s a full-size cruiser that looks like it rolled out of 1963 but drives like a brand-new performance car, offering the best of both worlds: nostalgia and modern capability.

My father introduced me to the San Juan Mountains when I was a kid. Every summer, we’d head out together, with the rest of my family—renting Jeeps, exploring rugged trails, discovering old ghost towns, and feeding chipmunks along the way. Those trips left a lasting imprint on me, and the memories tied to that part of Colorado are some of the most meaningful I have. Earlier this year, my dad mentioned he'd always wanted to see the San Juans in the fall. Without a second thought, I told him we were going. Maybe it's the reality of approaching 40, but I'm becoming more aware of how precious time is—and how little of it we can afford to waste. The clock doesn’t stop, and I’m done putting things off. This video captures the essence of that decision. Filmed over three days during the fall of 2025, every scene was shot within the San Juan Mountain Range. After all these years, I think I finally get the Jeep thing—the freedom, the connection to the land, the adventure. And there’s no better place to feel all of that than here. ______________________________ Black Bear Pass Imogene Pass Hurricane Pass Last Dollar Road Corkscrew Gulch Ouray, Colorado Silverton, Colorado Telluride, Colorado Buena Vista, Colorado Canon R5 Mavic 3 Pro Osmo Pocket 3 Osmo Action 5 Pro

The Wade Coupe by Bass Kustom is less of a car and more of a smirking middle finger to modern design trends — a hot rod that rolled straight out of a dream soaked in leaded gasoline and pinstriped attitude. Built by Brian Bass, this machine doesn’t ask for attention; it demands it, growling with vintage defiance like it just lit a Lucky Strike on the tailpipe of your Prius. It's equal parts raw aggression and art deco romance, as if Gatsby ditched the party and hit the salt flats instead. Underneath its sculpted steel skin is a commitment to traditional hot rod craftsmanship so pure, it makes billet aluminum weep. This isn’t retro for retro’s sake — it’s a philosophical stance, a rolling sermon on the gospel of the early days of speed. The Wade Coupe doesn’t just move — it declares war on mediocrity with every turn of the crank. If cars had souls, this one would be listening to Gene Vincent at full blast, red-lining toward the horizon with a devilish grin. ____________________________________________________________ Got a car with history, horsepower, or heart?

The Lexus LFA is a high-performance supercar that marked a bold departure from the brand’s luxury-focused image. Produced between 2010 and 2012 in limited numbers—only 500 units—the LFA features a hand-built 4.8-liter V10 engine developed in collaboration with Yamaha. This engine is renowned for its lightning-fast response and a sound often compared to that of an F1 car, thanks to its 9,000 RPM redline and intricate tuning. Constructed with a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer chassis, the LFA was engineered for extreme rigidity and lightness, giving it sharp handling and a top speed of over 200 mph. Though it wasn’t a commercial success at launch due to its high price, the LFA has since become a modern classic, revered for its engineering purity and emotional driving experience.

The 612 Scaglietti is the odd man out in the mid 00s Ferrari line up. It doesn't quite strike a pose like the F430, It's not a flat out monster like the 599 either. The name doesn't roll of the tongue and in this color, you may not remember it after the next stop light. Oddly enough, that's why I like it so much. This is a road trip MONSTER. The 612 is one of the most understated grand tourers in Ferrari’s history, quietly blending elegance with performance in a way that often escapes the spotlight. Unlike the flashier, more aggressive models from Maranello, the 612 adopts a subtler, more refined aesthetic—with smooth, flowing lines and proportions that pay homage to classic Ferrari design without screaming for attention. Beneath its reserved exterior lies a naturally aspirated V12 engine derived from the Enzo, delivering raw power with grace and composure. It offers seating for four, a rarity in the brand’s lineup, making it as practical as it is potent. Over time, the 612 has become a hidden gem among enthusiasts—an example of how Ferrari can balance maturity and muscle without the need for flamboyance.

The 1967 Volkswagen Type 2 — or as it's affectionately known, the Microbus, Kombi, or "that van your cool uncle never really moved out of." This was the last year before VW started tinkering with the formula, making it the holy grail for purists and free spirits who think seatbelts are a government conspiracy. With its split windshield, air-cooled engine wheezing out just enough horsepower to keep up with ambitious cyclists, and more windows than a suburban McMansion, the ’67 Type 2 is less a vehicle and more a vibe. It didn’t just move people — it moved *movements*. Peace, love, and a whole lot of downshifting.

The 2003 GT3: Porsche’s way of saying, “We gave you airbags, but don’t get too comfortable.” It’s the kind of car that skips the small talk and gets straight to the point — raw, mechanical, unapologetically loud, and blissfully free of anything that might distract you from the job of *driving*. No turbos, no PDK, no nonsense — just a naturally aspirated flat-six screaming its opera through a six-speed manual while you try to pretend your palms aren’t sweating. It’s a track car that somehow convinced the DMV it was street-legal, and every bump, rattle, and whine just reminds you that Porsche once built cars for lunatics, not luxury influencers.

The 1993 Range Rover Classic: a glorious paradox on wheels — equal parts country estate and countryside breakdown. This was Land Rover at its most charmingly conflicted, blending gentleman’s club luxury with tractor-like engineering, all wrapped in a boxy silhouette that screams aristocratic indifference. It came with leather, wood trim, and just enough electronics to remind you that optimism is a British trait. Driving one today is less about transportation and more about embracing a lifestyle: one where reliability is relative, fuel economy is theoretical, and every drive feels like an expedition — even if it's just to the farmer’s market.

The BMW Z8 is, without question, one of the most breathtaking roadsters ever produced. With its clean lines, sculpted bodywork, and perfectly balanced proportions, it stands as a masterclass in automotive design—elegant, muscular, and utterly timeless. There's a sense of occasion every time you see one, and that presence translates beautifully through the lens. I've had the privilege of photographing several Z8s over the years, and each shoot has felt like capturing a piece of rolling sculpture. That said, up until this point, I hadn't had the opportunity to shoot an Alpina Z8. While I typically gravitate toward cars that offer a razor-sharp, go-kart-like driving experience—where every input is immediate and visceral—I can't help but be drawn to the idea of a refined open-top grand tourer. There's something incredibly appealing about a machine that blends effortless power with long-distance comfort, especially when it’s cloaked in such an exquisite form. The Alpina V8 Roadster, with its smooth automatic gearbox, softer suspension, and more relaxed demeanor, transforms the Z8 into something more mature—less of a back-road brawler and more of a continent-crushing cruiser. To me, that's the beauty of the Z8 platform: it straddles two worlds with grace. Whether you're carving through mountain switchbacks or floating along a coastal highway with the sun setting behind you, it delivers a uniquely emotional experience. And when a car looks this good standing still, it hardly matters what speed you’re going. The thought of capturing the Alpina’s subtle differences—the slightly different stance, the unique wheels, the more understated interior detailing—has me genuinely excited. It’s a rare car, but one that deserves its time in front of the camera.

The 2019 Porsche 935 is a modern tribute to the legendary 935/78, affectionately known as "Moby Dick" for its long tail and dominant presence on the track. Introduced in 1976, the original 935 was a turbocharged, rear-engine powerhouse that dominated Group 5 racing, clinching victories at Le Mans, Daytona, and Sebring. Fast forward to 2018, and Porsche unveiled a limited-edition homage based on the 991 GT2 RS, blending retro styling with contemporary performance. With only 77 units produced, this 700-horsepower beast features design elements reminiscent of its predecessors, including LED taillights from the 919 Hybrid and titanium tailpipes echoing the 1968 908/01. Recently, I had the privilege of capturing this automotive masterpiece on a private airstrip nestled in Texas' Hill Country. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the 935's silhouette against the vast Texas sky was nothing short of cinematic. The car's aggressive stance and throaty exhaust note turned the tranquil countryside into a symphony of speed and power. Now, this rare gem is live on Bring a Trailer, offering enthusiasts a chance to own a piece of Porsche history. With its blend of vintage flair and modern engineering, the 2019 935 is a testament to Porsche's enduring legacy and commitment to performance.
