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.

The 1931 Pierce-Arrow Model 43 Dual Cowl Phaeton was a striking example of American luxury and craftsmanship during the early Depression-era. Known for its elegant styling and superior build quality, the Model 43 featured a long, imposing body with flowing fenders and a signature archer hood ornament that symbolized the brand’s prestige. The dual cowl design—where a second windshield protected rear passengers—enhanced both comfort and exclusivity, making it a favorite among affluent clientele. Under the hood, it was powered by a robust straight-eight engine, delivering smooth and quiet performance that was a hallmark of Pierce-Arrow engineering. As one of the last truly independent American luxury automakers before being absorbed in the mid-1930s, Pierce-Arrow's 1931 Model 43 remains a prized collector's car, embodying the peak of pre-war elegance and innovation.

The 2020 Ford GT is what happens when a blue-collar brand shows up to a black-tie supercar gala in a carbon-fiber tux and steals the spotlight. With a twin-turbo V6 that snarls like it’s had one too many espressos and styling sharper than a Ginsu knife, it’s America’s middle finger to European elitism—delivered at 216 mph. Sure, it costs as much as a small private island, but when you're this fast and this furious, who needs real estate?

The 2001 Ferrari 360 is the automotive equivalent of an Italian espresso—sharp, stylish, and guaranteed to make your heart race. With its mid-engine V8 screaming like Pavarotti at full throttle and a body penned by Pininfarina during what must’ve been a divine creative bender, the 360 doesn’t drive—it performs. Sure, the F1 transmission can be a bit temperamental, like a moody opera star, but that’s part of the charm. It's a car that turns heads, raises pulses, and reminds you that practicality is for people who don't believe in soul.

The C6 427 Corvette is like that grizzled gym rat who still bench-presses Buicks and makes younger muscle cars feel insecure. Packing the legendary 7.0L LS7 under the hood—borrowed straight from the Z06—it’s a convertible that laughs in the face of wind resistance and politely suggests you hold onto your toupee. It's loud, unapologetic, and built for the kind of person who thinks traction control is just a polite suggestion. This isn’t just a Vette—it’s the last of the big-cube brutes with a soft top and a steel spine.

The 2023 BMW M8 Competition Convertible is less of a car and more of a velvet-wrapped sledgehammer. It’s a 617-horsepower land missile with quilted leather seats, built for the kind of person who wants to do zero to jail time in under three seconds—with the top down and Spotify blasting Wagner or Wu-Tang. It’s got all-wheel drive, but mostly so it can claw at the Earth in a slightly more organized fashion. And despite weighing as much as a small moon, it dances through corners like it trained in ballet school—if ballet involved 4.4 liters of twin-turbo V8 rage. Now, wrap all that menace in Isle of Man Green, and suddenly it’s not just fast—it’s fashionably fast. This deep, lustrous green isn’t just a paint color; it’s a mood, a lifestyle, and a subtle flex that whispers, “I have taste, and also 617 horsepower.” It catches the light like an emerald in a jewelry case and makes even mundane traffic look like a cinematic chase scene. Isle of Man Green doesn’t just complement the M8—it elevates it into rolling art.

Red with gold accents. There aren't many cars that can pull this off. This is proof that Aston Martin can't do bad. I've always been a sucker for a Vantage. My first real experience with one, was driving in a spirited rally on backroads from Dallas to New York in one. Oddly enough, it was also red and that struck a cord with me. Red is not my first choice on much besides an RT/10 Viper, but Aston pulls it off so well. This is one of the most striking cars I've shot and design element really plays off each other. There's a lot going on here and I'm about it.

If you've browsed the videos on this channel, you should be aware that I am constantly subjected to greatness. I've shot many hummers....H1 Alphas, the new GMC Hummer that's been electrified and many variations in between. New or older, they all have this sort of king-of-the-road feel and presence. This however....this is different. This is what a Hummer should be. Creature comforts, probably not Fast, no. Loud, absolutely. Perfect in everyway...YUP. I'm going to be really honest when I say that this is the only vehicle I've ever shot that turned me into a 5 year old seeing his first monster truck. It is the most outrageous beast of a vehicle imaginable. People see this and look the other way. It's offensive and terrifying, and I love that. Its the most Hummer of all Hummers. I want it. I need it.

A Bronco built by Vintage Broncos is like a time machine with a V8 engine. It’s a perfect fusion of rugged off-road capability and modern performance, crafted to look like it just rolled off the showroom floor in the ‘70s—if that showroom had a serious taste for adventure. Every inch of the truck is thoughtfully restored and upgraded, blending classic charm with contemporary muscle. Whether it's the hand-crafted interior, the meticulously rebuilt drivetrain, or the lifted suspension that practically dares the roughest terrain to try and stop it, this Bronco isn’t just a ride; it’s an experience. It’s a celebration of the Bronco’s rich legacy, with enough modern flair to remind you that it’s ready to conquer whatever challenge you throw its way—be it a desert trail or your local coffee shop parking lot.

I have a soft spot for convertibles. I've been a Miata owner for well over a decade. Going topless, at least with a car, is one of life's cheat codes. If you're lucky enough to have a convertible that sounds good, like this R8, dropping the top on a spirited drive will instantly remind you why you like cars in the first place. The R8 is the better Huracan/Gallardo. It's all of the performance but with a car that is easier to live with. Outside of a silver 911, there aren't many performance cars out there that can fly, mostly, under the radar.

This is what happens when you have an idea, unlimited budget and unlimited time. Chris Clark of Ace Fabrication built this '36 for himself and it shows. Butta Scotch is a stunning custom build, a 1936 Ford pickup reimagined by the talented Chris Clark. With a nod to vintage style and an infusion of modern flair, Butta Scotch stands out for its meticulously crafted details. The truck features a chopped and smoothed body with a sleek, glossy finish that’s hard to miss. Under the hood, it’s powered by a potent V8 engine, bringing both performance and power to the table. Chris Clark's work shines through in the flawless interior design, the custom-built chassis, and the painstaking attention to every detail, from the stance of the truck to the hand-painted pinstriping. Butta Scotch isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a work of art, blending old-school charm with contemporary custom touches in a way few cars ever do.

The Aston Martin DBS is the epitome of British luxury and performance, combining striking design with a heart-pounding driving experience. With its aggressive yet refined silhouette, it commands attention, exuding both elegance and power. Beneath the sculpted hood lies a 5.2-liter V12 engine, producing a thrilling symphony of sound as it effortlessly accelerates, making every drive feel like an event. Inside, the cabin is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, featuring sumptuous leather, carbon fiber accents, and cutting-edge technology. The DBS isn’t just a car; it’s a celebration of performance, beauty, and engineering excellence, embodying the essence of Aston Martin’s legendary heritage. Whether you’re cruising down the highway or carving through winding roads, the DBS delivers a driving experience that’s as exhilarating as it is refined.

Owning a 1986 Porsche 911 Targa in the '80s was like carrying around a backstage pass to the cool club—except, instead of just looking effortlessly stylish, you were driving *the* car that made people pause, point, and mutter "that’s the one" as you cruised by. With its targa top, you had the best of both worlds: wind-in-your-hair freedom like a convertible, but with just enough steel overhead to pretend you were a sophisticated professional. And let’s talk about the engine—it roared like it was permanently late for a meeting at a racetrack. You could be rocking a mullet, sporting a leather jacket, and sipping a Diet Coke (because hey, it was the '80s), and the 911 Targa would still be the most glamorous thing in the room. Sure, you might have been worried about parking it in the wrong place because you knew people would *definitely* notice, but what better way to remind the world you had arrived than with the world's finest German engineering?

The 2024 Nissan GT-R Nismo Edition is basically a Japanese superhero in a sleek, turbocharged suit. It’s got a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 under the hood, cranking out a modest 600 horsepower (which, let's be real, is more than enough to make your spine question your life choices). This car doesn’t just drive—it *dominatingly* glides, with a suspension so sharp it could cut through traffic like a hot knife through butter. And the Nismo upgrades? Well, they're like giving a track-ready god a few extra power-ups, turning your daily commute into an impromptu lap at Le Mans. Sure, it might have a slightly aggressive front grille that looks like it’s constantly ready for a fight, but when you're in the driver's seat, you're too busy grinning from ear to ear to notice.

The Rezvani Tank: because why settle for a regular car when you could drive a rolling fortress? With bulletproof armor, night vision, and a V8 engine that could probably tow a small moon, this is the vehicle for anyone who feels like they’re just too important for regular traffic. It's as if someone thought, “What if a Hummer and a military-grade vehicle had a baby, and that baby had a very expensive taste in accessories?” Sure, it’s great for off-roading... or, you know, simply letting everyone on the road know that you’re clearly not someone to be messed with—unless, of course, they have a tank of their own.

The 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is an uncompromising machine built for those who crave the raw intensity of a race car on the road. Equipped with a 518-horsepower, naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine, it delivers blistering performance with a redline that screams up to 9,000 RPM. Every inch of the GT3 RS is designed for aerodynamics and speed, from its massive rear wing to its aggressive front fascia and air vents, all working to generate incredible downforce. Weight-saving materials like carbon fiber keep it light and nimble, while the suspension and chassis setup are fine-tuned for precise handling. This isn't a luxury sports car—it's a track-focused beast with just enough street-legal flair to make the drive home almost as thrilling as a lap around the Nürburgring.

The 1963 Corvette Stingray Split-Window is the car that has people in the '60s whispering, "I don’t know if I want to drive it, or just stare at it." With that iconic rear window split like a perfectly executed punchline, it’s part muscle car, part rolling piece of art. Powered by a 327 cubic inch V8, it’s got just enough muscle to make your hair blow back, but just enough class to remind you that you *are* wearing a leather jacket, and not just any leather jacket, but one with a little extra swagger. That rear window? Not just for show—it’s an exercise in making sure the guy behind you is jealous of more than just your speed. If you’re looking for a car that makes you feel like a rock star and drives like one, the 1963 Split-Window is ready to make your ego, and your engine, roar.

The 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 is like the cool, aloof kid at the track who somehow still manages to make everyone else look like they're driving with the parking brake on. With a 3.6-liter, 415-horsepower engine that purrs like a lion after a Red Bull, it’s the car that makes you question why you ever thought 0-60 in 4.1 seconds wasn’t impressive. The steering? So responsive it could probably navigate your life choices if you asked. Plus, with a rear-wheel-drive setup, it’s practically begging you to take it to a racetrack, even if your best racing experience was a Mario Kart session. The 2007 GT3’s only flaw? It makes everything else feel a little *too* slow.

The Dakar is the only real car worthy of this new on road/offroad super car fad. There I said it. The Serrato only makes a Huracan a little more livable on the day to day. It has no business being anywhere off pavement, even if it's just for a 15 second clip for the grams. That all being said, I'm assuming not many of these 911 variants see much action off road. I would love to take one up Black Bear Pass just outside of Telluride in a line of Wranglers on 40" tires. I'm sure it would do just as good, but you'd be in a Porsche and that makes everything better. I can really get behind all off the details Porsche puts into these cars, like the roof rack and livery.

Up until this point in my 38 years of existence on this planet, when I thought vintage camper my brain has been wired to think Airstream. Where has Spartan been my whole life?! This might not be as streamlined as an Airstream equivalent, but my gosh does it check a lot of boxes. Having done my research on them after getting to shoot this one, I must say, the stylistic choices used on the interior of this one are nothing short of perfection. Upon entry you are greeted with rich leather scents and furniture meant for a home, not a camper. Seriously though, this is a very well thought out restoration. Everything you need, nothing you don't. A full size shower and bathroom, giant bed and couch...you could easily live out of this thing if you chose to.
