In Wheel Time Car Talk

Gear up for an enlightening journey into the heart of Texas's car culture, where the mini truck craze is taking the streets by storm, legally! David McChristian from the Texas Import Society and Greg Obrian from ATX Custom Auto join us to unpack the mysteries of K vehicles and share why these pint-sized Japanese imports have Texans buzzing with excitement. You'll discover the practical charm of these vehicles and how recent changes in street legalization are affecting enthusiasts and onlookers alike, including some eyebrow-raising moments with local law enforcement.

Rev your engines for a deep dive into the souls of JDM enthusiasts, as David and Greg narrate their personal voyages from beefy diesel trucks to the sleek finesse of the Nissan 280ZX and R31 Skyline. Learn about the communal efforts to navigate the complex DMV policies and the curious opposition from the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. This is a chapter of passion, camaraderie, and the relentless drive to secure a spot for JDM vehicles on American roads.

Finally, we cruise through the vibrant streets of Houston's auto scene, shining a spotlight on the philanthropic gears turning at God's Garage and the excitement revving up for the 20th annual Keels & Wheels event. For the speed demons among us, we also bring you the inside track on the latest Formula One developments. Don't forget to join us for our live In Wheel Time Car Talk show – it's an appointment every car aficionado won't want to miss, where we continue to fuel the dialogue on all things automotive.
