How do you introduce a Corvette guy to the world of Porsche 911s? You give him the keys to an authentic desert rally racer that’s ready to hit the Dakar Rally at the drop of a hat 👀

Big weekend, Pt. 2 featuring high tide at midnight and less people
11 Sep 2026
On this Independence Day, we highlight this 1940s World War II Jeep. OH WAIT, IT’S NOT A 1940s WWII JEEP, it’s actually a brand new WWII Jeep that The Autopian’s very own David Tracy (@davidntracy) built in his driveway using almost entirely parts purchased from @ebay! Click the link in our bio to go to TheAutopian.com and see the extraordinary build, the inspiring road trip, the impressive off-roading, and the endless selection of old Jeep parts available on eBay! 🫡 @eBay #ebaypartner

“BZZZZZZZZ” a saw blared loudly in Porsche Santa Clarita’s “Wünderground” car museum this past Saturday as hundreds of people breathed a combination of dust and cigarette smoke just to get a glimpse of a legend. Wearing Dr. Pepper pajama pants, drinking sodas, smoking cigs, and oozing with swagger, that legend is Akira Nakai, a Japanese car customizer whose controversial “RWB” widebody cars have changed Porsche culture forever.
RWB stands for Rauh-Welt Begriff, which translates to “Rough World Concept,” an appropriate name for a tuner whose process is undeniably “rough,” especially in the context of precision engineering outfits like Singer, RUF, and Gunther. The company’s founder, Akira Nakai, does all the work by hand, transforming Porsches into widebody monsters using little more than a cutting saw, a belt sander, a tube of sealant, and an impact driver.
The final result is a piece of art, and the process itself is a genuine performance, luring in eyes from all over the West Coast. What is it that draws so many people in? We had a chance to see the legend work up close, and it was nothing short of showmanship at its finest.
To read more about our days with Nakai and to see more photos from his visit to California, click this post at the link in our bio 🫡

Okay so I lied about being done with Long Beach photos but there’s a couple more film shots worth seeing the light of day so
24 Apr 2026
And to round out my photos from Long Beach (at least for now), here’s a collection of photos taken on my Speed Graflex camera. All 120, shooting Ilford 100 and 200 🎞️📸🏎️

A blistering sun. Palm trees blowing in the wind. People partying on their luxury apartment's balcony. The only thing that sets this apart from any other weekend living near the beach is that this time around, you've got an influx of 200,000 people descending upon the city, ready to watch drivers hop in the cockpit of open-wheel spaceships that rev their twin turbo V6s up to 12,000 RPM. They came to hear Aston Martin's Valkyrie prototype blow out their eardrums with its naturally aspirated V12. And they're ready to be awe-struck by the ground shaking beneath them as a grid of 10 Chevy LS-powered trucks slam the ground after taking a jump at nearly 150 miles per hour.
This is the Grand Prix of Long Beach, back for the 51st running of the event, and it's just as fun and beautiful as it was when the likes of Mario Andretti and Nelson Piquet took the top step decades ago, and we sent our photographer there to prove it.
