Girls and cars: Jessica Le's Toyota Altezza replica

In the automotive world, the words girls and cars typically conjures up ideas of bikini car washes, magazine cover models, and passenger seat trophies for the male species. However, thanks to the ever-growing automotive niche, the fairer sex is quickly becoming just as much of a gearhead as the men.

That being said, when one may imagine a "gearhead girl" images of butch tomboys may come to mind. That may work for some, but not for Jessica Le. Widely known in Florida thanks to her keen sense of business, Tampa-based Jessica has worked her way to the top and has done all of above. Starting as a car model, Jessica and her friends from Pin-up Garage have done it all from event promotion, seductive pictorials, and even full custom car building.

Owner of Tezza-Vision Productions, Jessica and her team have made a 100% accurate replica of the IS300 world famous "Toyota Altezza". Not only do the girls from Pin-up Garage know how to build a car and look good doing it, they also can drive. Check out the video below for an interview with Jessica, spirited POV test drive through Tampa, and a quick burnout drift session.
