ABOUT THE EVENT

The Japanese Cruise-In is a huge day for JDM enthusiasts, with everything from time-attack builds and track specials to show cars and custom creations packed into a multi-level garage.

Expect to see JDM legends old and new—Supras, GT-Rs, Evos, STIs, RX-7s, kei cars, and more—alongside owners who are just as excited to talk about their cars as they are to drive them.


PETERSEN X CARS & BIDS


Cars & Bids is built around modern enthusiast cars, and this cruise-in is exactly that crowd.

It’s a chance to meet like-minded owners, spot future auction favorites, and show off the quirks, mods, and details that make your JDM car special.
