Car shows often get mistaken with car meets. Car meets are a casual gathering of car enthusiasts, usually at a parking lot just checking out each other’s cars and having a good time. It is a more laid back setting and you are able to meet other car enthusiasts and forge friendships. Car shows on the other hand, are a whole different ball game. Most car shows have hundreds of cars staged in an indoor convention center or outdoor venue. There are vendor booths, car models, photographers snapping photos and awards to be won.

Welcome to The J Media! My name is Justin and I would like to take you along with me on my car journey. Let's take it back a few years.. The year was 2013 and I moved to Austin, Texas from Singapore and got my first car in the US.
