How You Ridin' Car Show 12 Brings Midwest Custom Vehicle Culture Together

Milwaukee's custom vehicle scene continues to grow, and few events represent that growth better than How You Ridin' Car Show 12. Hosted by Glazin With TJ, the annual gathering has become one of southeastern Wisconsin's signature celebrations of custom vehicle culture, attracting enthusiasts from across the Midwest for a day filled with creativity, craftsmanship, and community.

In Episode 2 of Milwaukee Motor Channel After Dark, we take viewers beyond individual vehicle walkarounds to experience the event as a whole. From the moment guests arrive, it's clear that How You Ridin' is more than just another car show. Families, clubs, builders, artists, and spectators all come together to celebrate the passion that keeps custom vehicle culture thriving.

TJ welcomes viewers with an inside look at the event and explains how the show has grown over the years into a destination for enthusiasts from multiple states. His vision has always been to create an event where everyone feels welcome, whether they own a lowrider, a donk, a lifted truck, a motorcycle, or simply appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into custom builds.

Throughout the documentary, viewers experience an incredible variety of vehicles. Beautiful paintwork, detailed interiors, oversized wheels, lifted suspensions, classic Chevrolets, modern customs, motorcycles, and creative one-off builds all demonstrate the diversity of today's custom vehicle scene. Every owner brings a unique story, reminding us that these vehicles represent years of dedication, personal expression, and countless hours in the garage.

One of the highlights of the episode is meeting Tree and learning about a beautifully customized 2015 Buick LaCrosse. The elegant paintwork and attention to detail show that modern sedans can become just as striking as traditional classics when placed in the hands of talented builders and artists.

As always, Milwaukee Motor Channel focuses not only on the vehicles but also on the people behind them. The conversations throughout the day reveal why events like How You Ridin' continue to grow each year. Builders share ideas, families spend time together, clubs reconnect with longtime friends, and new enthusiasts are welcomed into the culture.

The atmosphere is relaxed, positive, and centered on celebrating creativity rather than competition. That spirit has helped establish How You Ridin' as one of Milwaukee's premier custom vehicle events and explains why it continues attracting participants from throughout the region.

Episode 2 of Milwaukee Motor Channel After Dark preserves these moments while documenting another important chapter in Midwest custom vehicle history. By capturing the people, stories, and machines together, the series creates a lasting record of a culture built on craftsmanship, friendship, and pride.

Milwaukee Motor Channel thanks Glazin With TJ for the invitation and hospitality, and we look forward to covering future editions of How You Ridin' as the event continues to grow.
