One of these day’s I’ll stop quoting the greatest movie of all time, one of these days. This shoot and feature is the product of chance – or fate, if you believe in that sort of thing. I just so happened to make it out to a local automotive event and Ramiro just so happened to pull up in his 720S that day, which was about an hour drive for him. The thing I came to learn about Ramiro is he doesn’t quite fit the typical stereotype of an exotic car owner; these cars get driven.

This whole writing an article the night before has become some sort of tradition, or curse- whatever. It’s 1am. I have my favorite lo-fi beats playlist going through my earbuds. I have all the photos of Carlos’s S13 spread out across the second monitor. Now I’m sitting here, and I can’t help but think about how things have changed since I last shot and featured this 240sx.

Towards the end of 2020 I knew I wanted to get things started here again. The year was weird and honestly you don’t need me here to remind you that it was. But as I was mindlessly scrolling through Instagram seeing a few local cars pop up, I realized sometimes what we all need is a break from what was happening around us. That is what this hobby does for so many of us; it’s not a way to push things aside and forget about the bigger stuff, often times it’s the very thing that helps us clear our heads so we can tackle the bigger things. Whether you get this feeling from hanging out in a garage with friends, prepping your car for a weekend on the track – or in my case, loading up the little gear I have now to get some photographs of a local vehicle and shooting the shit with the owner – sometimes, a good hobby is all you need.
