Seattle's BEST Car Culture Weekend! (4K)

- As summer approaches each year, we eagerly anticipate the "Wekfest Weekend" in Seattle, which we fondly refer to as the best weekend for car culture in Seattle. Wekfest itself is undoubtedly the highlight, and in our opinion, it’s the best car show in the Pacific Northwest. However, this weekend is about much more than just Wekfest. It marks the beginning of the car season, with the weather usually shifting towards sunny days. As the rain finally subsides, the car community across Washington State, Oregon, and British Columbia springs back to life. Beyond Wekfest, the weekend also features the Old School Reunion, an outdoor gathering that celebrates retro vehicles. This blend of events makes it the ultimate celebration of automotive enthusiasm in the region.
We started our weekend off by linking with Ethan (@93_sc), Zack (@zacks240sx), Jesse (@rainydaze_39) and a few of their friends. They brought out their Aristo, S13, and Soarer for a photo shoot at a few awesome locations not far from Seattle. We will definitely be dropping one of the shots from this shoot in our 2025 calendar!
After wrapping up our shoot we dropped by Henry's Donuts which we were told is an OG Seattle spot for car enthusiasts to gather on Friday and Saturday nights. We saw dozens of familiar faces and enjoyed being able to connect with friends from all over who had come out to enjoy the weekend.
The next day we started off our double header of car shows at Old School Reunion. The event is a tribute to classic automobiles and transported us back in time with its remarkable display of vintage cars. From iconic Japanese models to enduring European classics, each vehicle brimmed with history and charm. We enjoyed the opportunity to engage with enthusiastic car owners, sharing stories and appreciating the efforts that keep these automotive gems alive.
Next up on our schedule was Wekfest Seattle, a premier event spotlighting the finest in modern modified car culture. The show was a visual delight, displaying an array of expertly customized vehicles that pushed the envelope and set new trends. Seeing the immense creativity and commitment that car enthusiasts invested in their projects was awe-inspiring. Events like Wekfest do a great service for our car community and create a deeply enriching experience, fostering a strong sense of connection within the broader car world.
And just like that one of the best car life weekends came to an end. We can't wait for 2025.

So which one of your friends corrected you on "wek" fest vs "weak" fest? lol. I noticed in the beginning of this vid and the last wekfest one you were saying "wek" fest and I always figured it was "weak" fest since its from the old "Weksos"/"weak sauce" people haha. I noticed you switched it up when you guys got to Starbies lol
Dogs out at 10:06!!!!!!
is it weak or wheck? I am from San Jose where the show started and always hear weakfest, but lately ive been hearing wheck fest too
It’s “Weak”. Named after WekSos (“Weak Sauce”) Parts; was once a tuning/parts shop in CA in like 2009-ish.
@@bfspec Yeah, I thought they were the same company, Ive talked to Junior a couple times about it. Ive heard it as Wheck so many times it got me second guessing lol. Im from the Bay Area where they started Weksos
@@bfspec thanks for this. Took me down a rabbit hole to learn about them.
5:40 MA “NEPHEW”

I love my reps. I have already destroyed 2 sets of wheels in 3 years on my shit roads and I'm not paying a third of what I paid for my car to get some wheels I will probably destroy. Now that I have a pick-up, I may start looking into some nicer wheels now that I don't have to drive the ISF every day.

No Reps 😾
I ❤ rep wheels.
They look cool and when they get damaged you throw them away and buy more.
Seriously though there's a difference between a replica wheel and a fake wheel.
A fake wheel is not just a copy of a design but also logos. Normally fake wheels will have absolutely no markings or information on them to tell you about the company who produced the wheel.
A replica wheel will be made by a recognised alloy wheel manufacturer that is basing a wheel on a popular design.
As it is still a recognised limited company producing the wheels there will still be standards that will have been met.
Most ordinary people modify their cars on a limited budget and need parts that are easily replaced.
sorry man but this is just a whole lot of words for a really bad take, replica and fake is the same thing and they both suck, if you can’t afford to put your wheel on even entry level quality wheels then you probably shouldn’t be building a car
EAT BURRITOS
dude i am actually offended. no good mexican food in canada???? pretty much any road side taco stand in the BC desert is made by socal or mexican natives that relocated to canada 20-30 years ago. lower mainland is for asain foods my man gotta get around a little
Send recommendations plz 👀
Noticing that Seattle roads are absolute trash then suggesting that the high taxes here should be even higher by introducing an income tax...HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
they’re just mad because Canada taxes are even worse
The chromedog lives on
Wekpoint Japan goes to Checkfest 🥸
The ae86 is running genuine pasco-fame bilbo riverge wheels resized by @love20bee ❤, 7:04
Ifykyk 😂
They must not have looked for the stamps. 😂
@@derekkarns3052 🤣🤣🤣
This just shows these guys are uneducated basically calling your rims “reps” when they’re not!🤣 7:04
Thanks for the correction, we were debating it for a while because we know that there’s been a lot of Taiwanese reproductions of the Pasco-Fame Bilbo Riverge 4H and not many people get them rebuilt into more desirable specs. Regardless though your Corolla is terrific!
In our experience at Old School Reunion there’s a ton of cars built to 10/10 completion and then fitted with replica wheels that always make us scratch our heads.
