Been sitting on this video almost a year. My boy Cesar from RK Sport surprised me by bringing Larry‘s book to a totally unrelated event. It was the first time I’d seen one “in the wild” and the first time I was asked to sign one. I didn’t expect what he said next and it caught me off guard. My instinct is to shy away from the spotlight and just make cool stuff — let the work do the talking. But there’s no doubt it meant a lot to hear. And it takes a lot for me to say this, but looking back at the four books (and one magazine) we’ve launched in the last 12 months, there’s no doubt Cesar was at least a little bit right. So I’m going to embrace it and be louder about our accomplishments. It helps me remember our ultimate goal should be, to borrow a phrase from new author Vaughn Gittin Jr , to “put smiles on faces.” Much more on the way to be excited about, and many more smiles to come. Next time I’ll even join in on the “HELL YEAH.” 😂

Before he won multiple Formula Drift championships and built a revolutionary car company, Vaughn Gittin Jr. wasn’t really a fan of Mustangs. But as he writes in his new book, ‘Ready To Rock — The Story of RTR Vehicles,” the 2004 Mustang GT-R Concept changed all that. This wild concept car proved that Ford had envisioned a future where the Mustang embraced modern culture and Japanese influence, combining all his passions into one. It inspired Gittin Jr. to compete in Mustangs and take the plunge with RTR Vehicles. And the rest is history. Learn more about his career, winning mindset and brand-building philosophy by preordering Ready To Rock at CarraraBooks.com for early delivery in October.

Was this a STEAL?? One year after a Nismo 400R sold for $900,000 USD at Monterey Car Week, another sold this year for $775,000 before fees. Of course, this one has significantly more miles on it. But… what does this say about the 400R market? And the Skyline GT-R market in general? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Is this a GOOD BUY?? One lucky buyer won this rare TRD 3000GT at a price of $525,000 USD plus fees. This is a rare example of the racecar-inspired Supra built in-house at Toyota factories. Most were hardtops, but this one is a targa. Also the only U.S. spec left-hand drive model known to exist. What do you think of the price?

One of the most exciting sections of ‘Life At Shutter Speed’ by Larry Chen highlights Drift Appalachia, a grassroots event held in Kentucky that comes within inches of sheer cliffs. “The tire smoke was so thick you could barely see where you were walking,” Chen writes. To us, Drift Appalachia represents the ingenuity of the drift scene, the wonderful variety of cars that participate, and the spirit that started in Japan and has reached its way all across the globe. The photos speak for themselves, too.
