If you’ve ever walked through a car meet, spent hours restoring a classic, or simply admired a beautiful build cruising down the highway, you know there’s something special about car culture. It’s not just about horsepower or paint jobs — it’s about the people, the stories, and the lifelong passion that drives it all.
That’s why we created the Car Enthusiast Book — a curated, community-driven collection of cars, stories, and automotive art from real people around the world. But what makes it even more exciting is how we’re using AI technology to make it smarter, more accessible, and more meaningful for enthusiasts everywhere.
At its core, the Car Enthusiast Book is about celebrating car culture. We wanted to create something timeless — a hybrid between a collectible magazine, a personal garage gallery, and a coffee table book you’ll actually want to show off.
But we also wanted to make it easier than ever for enthusiasts to share their passion — without needing to be a professional writer or photographer. That’s where AI comes in.
We use AI tools to help polish, enhance, and streamline every part of the publishing process:
This isn’t just a book — it’s a platform. Our long-term vision is to build a growing library of digital and physical editions that spotlight the diversity and depth of the global car community. AI helps us scale that vision without sacrificing quality or authenticity.
Each volume will showcase builders, collectors, racers, and weekend warriors — all curated with the attention to detail that real enthusiasts appreciate. Whether it’s your first build or your 15th, there’s a space for your story in these pages.
We’re just getting started. Whether you want to submit your ride, read the latest edition, or gift it to a fellow gearhead, the Car Enthusiast Book is built for people who live and breathe cars.
And with AI helping us bridge the gap between raw passion and polished presentation, we're creating something that feels both high-tech and deeply human.

In 2025, a standout trend dominating the car enthusiast market is retro-modding — a subculture that blends the aesthetic of vintage vehicles with the performance, reliability, and tech of modern-day engineering. Think 1980s Porsche 911s with Tesla drivetrains, or Datsun 240Zs equipped with digital clusters, adaptive suspension, and Apple CarPlay.
This movement is a response to two converging forces: the skyrocketing prices of fully restored classics and the increasing difficulty of maintaining aging OEM parts. Enthusiasts still crave the character of older cars — the analog feel, the unique silhouettes — but they also want the daily drivability and convenience of new vehicles. Enter the retro-mod renaissance.
Social media and YouTube have accelerated this trend. Builders like The Smoking Tire, Throttle House, and Rob Dahm are spotlighting these mashups, inspiring younger gearheads who might not have grown up with carburetors but appreciate the design language of a ‘69 Mustang.
Another big cultural shift? Electric swaps. What started as a niche has gone mainstream, with companies now offering “crate EV” kits designed to drop into older chassis with minimal fabrication. The hot rod scene, once allergic to anything without pistons, is slowly embracing torque-rich electric builds as long as they respect the soul of the original car.
In a time when autonomous tech and sterile crossovers dominate the new car market, retro-modding is the enthusiast’s rebellion — a celebration of the past, engineered for the present.
