Some weekends are not only forgotten – they dig themselves in your story.
Late last year, I made a 36 -hour storm of Vancouver, Canada to Los Angeles, USA with two friends Paul, driven by one mission: to bring our friend Rwb’s Rwb Porsche 997 on a trip through some of the most famous roads and spots in Los Angeles. It was one of those rare rare adventures that make you somehow feel vibrant and reflection.
We landed in Lax in the early hours of Saturday morning, after midnight. Our friend Colon He was waiting for us, ready for our difference away. Instead of checking a hotel, we have chosen an unconventional option (but cheap!) – Huntington Beach parking and camping in Audi Cultton cars. He made the sound of the waves, the breeze of the cold ocean, and the concern of the expectation is a surprisingly peaceful start of what we knew would be a crowded weekend.
By sunrise, we were on our way to Donut Ambelics, a car on the legendary Saturday morning that meets people as much as cars. It is a place where the heads of gears and the dreamer converge, and they exchange stories on coffee while marveling at everything from old hot bars to new cars. The energy was infectious, and reminded of why the car culture feels a global language.
After that, we went to the speed of K, where the Akira Nakai, the mastermind of Rauh-Welt Begrif, was busy with a wide RWB treatment on a fleet of Porsche.
Watching the work of Nakai-SAN is a privilege. His attention with details and technical flow is sleeping, every car has turned with his hands into something that feels life. It is not just a customization; It is a craft, sharpening and high.
But the most prominent weekend came when the sun started to set. We handed the key to RWB, which is an amazing pink creation Racomon (羅生門) by Nakai San. We set out to Azusa Canyon, and chasing sunset on winding roads. The exhaust tone for the engine is coordinating with the rustle of the papers and dull shouts in the city below. The air was fragile, the sky is drawn in colors of gold and crimson, and a moment, the time seemed to be existing.
When the night deepened, we went to the center of Los Angeles, where the vibrant pink emerged against the urban glow in the city. We spent hours taking their beauty through photos, videos, and streets that provide a cinematic background. Driving through DTLA in RWB Porsche felt surreal – the exhaust sound hesitated through empty passages, the repercussions of neon lights danced through car curves.
Behind the steering wheel, I found myself thinking about the extent of this trip. I thought about returning when I was just a child at school, hiding in the computer laboratory, and pretending to focus on tasks while passing through pictures and stories of people who live in cars that inspired me. Now, I was here – driving one of my favorite cars, built by one of my favorite people, through one of my favorite cities. I could only wonder if there is a child there now to do the same, and look at the content like this and dare to dream. If they are, I hope to chase them and one day find themselves surrounded by the type of friendships and experiences that redefine what is possible.
RWB has always been deep in the heart of my love for cars, and this trip has only deepened this relationship. Racomon Not just a car – it is a symbol of emotion and creativity and the idea that some dreams deserve to be chased.

By Sunday noon, we went back to Lax, where we took our trip to Vancouver. The weekend was blurry, at the speed that I started with, but she left us with a kind of memories with you forever. Sometimes, it is not a matter of the time it takes to the journey but how it resonates. this? Heavy in the best possible way.
