[COVERAGE] Tuner Evolution Harrisburg
May 14th, 2024 by Elusive MediaHello 2024 car season! Tuner has been one of my first shows the past few years and this is their 2nd year at the Far Show Complex. After last year, I was excited to come back to this one. It has a very relaxed feel and the lighting from the skylight windows really give the venue a unique look. Like many of the other Tuner Shows, this is packed with a wide variety of cars and trucks…along with a couple motorcycle here and there. This year we had a pretty entertaining taco eating challenge….3 different rounds, guys, kids, and ladies. As last year, the show had a rainy forecast, but thankfully most of the Tuner Evolution shows are inside! Be sure to follow the tour and check out one near you! See you all in Philly!

[COVERAGE] WEKFEST New Jersey ’18
August 28th, 2018 by Elusive MediaWEKFEST hosts some of the cleanest builds in the US. Builds from exotics to muscle and everything in between. You won’t see any cars here that are not show and go ready. With limited amount of space at the expo, only the best will gain entry into the building. I’m always surprised to see so many new vehicles i haven’t seen this late in the season. WEKFEST definitely sets themselves apart from the rest!

[COVERAGE] Tuner Evolution
August 7th, 2014 by Elusive MediaTuner Evolution returns for a second year to its new location just north of downtown Philadelphia. The Tuner Evolution team kept what was already working and brought back Break Dancing(Hit the Breaks”, a 2v2 dance battle by UDEF) and Bikini completion along with the hottest cars in the east coast. The always popular model lounge also returns with top and “up and coming” models from around the nation. Tho this show may have started out as an East Coast show, with its new location it has gained in popularly and you will see many cars that drove from afar. I spoke with one club from Chicago and they pick one show out east(per year) to attend and Tuner Evolution was their top pick. Tuner Evolution also had amazing(seriously) raffle prizes, one of them being a PS4 and a large 46″+ LCD TV…lets hope the winner didn’t come in a convertible! Vendors were also scattered around the expo center, like Tragic Genius or Nostalgic Grains. Some vendors were there to promote other car events, like the Gumball Meet that takes place at Lime Rock at the end of the month. This car show bring more than just cars and that’s why we all keep coming back each year! If you’ve missed the last 8yrs of the show, well… always next year!
