Leo Barone - ’06 Ford Mustang
Nitto Tires: NT555 G2
A friend’s ’69 Mach 1 first turned my attention toward Mustangs back in the late-’70s. I’ve gone on to own three Mustangs of my own through the years, including this ’06 Ford Mustang GT. As my daily, I always look forward to getting in the driver seat; the performance and handling of the Mustang, along with its retro styling, keep me coming back.

Lee Sanchez - '94 Ford F-350
Nitto Tires: Trail Grappler
Ever since my dad pulled into the driveway with his brand-new ’97 Ford F-350, I've always wanted my own. I love this classic body style, and last year I finally had the opportunity to start building my own. It’s come a long way from the old farm truck it once was, but I'm building my dream truck one part at a time.

Quenten Raines - ’07 Nissan 350Z
Nitto Tires: NT555R
My car is special to me because the Z has been in my family for a few generations. My family has owned the Datsun 280ZX and the 300ZX, so it was only right for me to continue that legacy, while adding my own personal feel to it. I have plenty more changes to come in the near future, which includes a motor swap.

Dillon Bonnet - ’15 Dodge Charger RT
Nitto Tires: Motivo
What makes my car unique is that it truly is different. You don't really see too many Dodge Charger RTs with a full aerodynamic kit. I took what I’ve seen from different cars and added my own little touches to make mine stand out from the rest.
