<p>In this episode of Hard Parking, host Jhae Pfenning sits down with Rebecca Nguyen, co-founder of The Warehouse in Mesa, AZ, to discuss her journey from the Future Collector Car Show in 2016 to building the venue into a premier collector car storage facility, social hub, and event space housed in a historic citrus warehouse. They explore Arizona Car Week&#39;s growth, the debut of the six-day Art House Collective art exhibition (January 20-25, 2026), and Rebecca&#39;s thoughtful approach to curating inclusive events that welcome enthusiasts from all levels, from exotics to family-friendly gatherings. The conversation delves deeper into personal reflections, including the importance of community connections, memories built over a decade, parenthood, and concerns about AI&#39;s societal impact, technology&#39;s future, and creating positive change. Jhae closes by praising Rebecca&#39;s relentless drive and loyalty, encouraging listeners to revisit her 2021 appearance (episode 99) for more on her origins.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Rebecca on social media: </p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://instagram.com/driven.by.becca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> ⁠instagram.com/driven.by.becca/</a>Instagram:⁠ <a href="https://instagram.com/thewarehouse.az/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">⁠instagram.com/thewarehouse.az/</a></p><p>Chapters:</p><ul> <li>0:00 Intro, Arizona Car Week Buzz &amp; RAPID Act Discussion</li> <li>4:15 Catching Up with Rebecca Nguyen at The Warehouse</li> <li>9:30 10-Year Full Circle: From Future Collector Car Show to Partner</li> <li>15:45 Building The Warehouse: Storage, Social Hub &amp; Community Vision</li> <li>22:00 Arizona Car Week 2026 – Art House Collective &amp; Elevated Events</li> <li>28:20 Event Curation: Inclusivity from Exotics to Family-Friendly</li> <li>35:10 Challenges, Memories &amp; Making Positive Impact</li> <li>41:30 Deep Dive: AI, Society, Parenthood &amp; Future Worries</li> <li>47:50 Rebecca&#39;s Drive &amp; Why Connections Matter</li> <li>51:00 Wrap-Up, Shoutouts &amp; Thanks to Rebecca Nguyen</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Discussed in this episode</p><p><strong>Rebecca Nguyen&#39;s first appearance on Hard Parking</strong> (Episode 99 – &quot;Rebecca Nguyen is Print Driven,&quot; December 13, 2021):</p><ul> <li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNZZV-CqWrY" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNZZV-CqWrY</a></li> <li>Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rebecca-nguyen-is-print-driven/id1477527835?i=1000544786155" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rebecca-nguyen-is-print-driven/id1477527835?i=1000544786155</a></li> <li>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/736w0kYvwcaZnOogSOTwGW?si=ch-UcqgeQbqUiIKc8o1Gnw" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://open.spotify.com/episode/736w0kYvwcaZnOogSOTwGW?si=ch-UcqgeQbqUiIKc8o1Gnw</a></li></ul><p>(Great for listeners wanting the full-circle backstory from her Future Collector Car Show days.)</p><p><strong>Arizona Autobahn Act / House Bill 2059 (RAPID Act)</strong>:</p><p>The Reasonable and Prudent Interstate Driving (RAPID) Act, introduced by Rep.
