We had such a pleasure when John Lawson from ProAm Auto Accessories invited us to his shop and spilled the beans about the latest trends, intriguing aftermarket seating options, and more ideas for last minute Christmas gifts. From affordable to high-end, he introduced us to various accessories, including those made from different materials, and shared how these small additions can take your ride to the next level.  Then John revealed his personal projects, including an LS-swapped endurance track car and a 1973 Ford F-100 truck project for a customer. The automotive world is fast and ever-changing, so, keeping our tradition alive, we also brought you the latest news and updates. We covered a spectrum of recalls - think turn signal issues, loose brake pedals, high beam malfunctions, and more. We also discussed the recent layoffs at General Motors and their strategic move towards electric truck production, alongside the startling suspension of plant tours at the Corvette plant. Did you know there were inaccurately adjusted headlights on the Infinity QX 60? We dug into this and more. So, buckle up and join us every Saturday morning for an exhilarating car talk!Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
