PDX On Wheels 1st Annual Car Show Gears N The Rear Show

In this episode, I talk with great car enthusiasts at the PDX On Wheels 1st Annual Car Show inside the Detail Garage, Auto Detailing & Supplies store located at 2033 NE Burnside Rd. in Gresham, Oregon 97030. In such events, we get to see the people who win awards for best motor interior and exterior, from the engine bay, wheels, paint, under construction, and custom to the trunk setup. Get insights on how you can get in the car game from people who are killing it and with years of experience in building cars and modeling them. You can get more car talks from our previous episodes on all of your favorite podcast platforms.
