The classic Skyline GT-R is not the best looking car, with a mishmash of late 60’s American and European Styling forged in Japan. But even so, they are super cool. This car at SEMA was tucked away between South Hall and Central Hall, but it was always drawing a crowd. I have always liked them because they are different and like many of the classics I have owned over the years, you’re not likely to run into one at your local car show. Enjoy the JDM goodness of this classic “GT-R Clone” in the photos below.

At first glance, Kate Cook’s artwork might seem like a paradox—a seamless blend of classic oil painting techniques with the high-octane world of automotive enamels. Her signature approach, which she calls "Artemotiv," merges the meticulous craftsmanship of fine art with the raw energy of hot rods and muscle cars. But spend a few minutes with Cook, and the paradox resolves itself into something more profound: an artist who has not only found her lane but paved it herself.
