CarShowz kicked off in 2009 as a simple hobby and quickly turned into a full‑blown obsession. As a U.S. Navy Veteran 🇺🇸, I attack every project with precision and purpose. I love the technical grind of running the site, and behind the lens, I capture the real story of every event. The people I’ve met, and the community built along the way keep me pushing forward — all the way to the end.
Lone Star Throwdown 2017 is in the books and with the show grounds jam packed with show vehicles (2000 total), vendors and spectators throughout the weekend, words cannot describe how great of a show this is and will continue to be. We flew down to Houston from Maryland Friday morning, arrived around 9:30am, it took forever to get our rental car and it didn’t help with the anticipation of heading to Conroe to the show grounds, about an hour north of Hobby, where we flew into. This was our first time attending the show. In 2013 CarShowz participated as a…

End of Summer Bash 2016, a Twenty Year tradition mini truckers and show goers attended over the years and have made the show apart of their lives.

Some people do not realize the amount of time, effort and money that go into these events; to carry that for 20 years is amazing! Ending on a very…

Ocean City Authorities need to shit or get off the pot. Either you want car enthusiasts in your town or you don’t. You are clearly discriminating when…

Mitsubishi Evo X, a full custom beast: It has been a little over a year since we have last connected with Owner Wayne Soegiarto’s 2012 Mitsubishi Evo X; a complete transformation this ride has made in less than a year.
