Michael never thought he would build this car. It used to be his daily driver from Las Vegas to O.C. almost every week. He was attending car shows for his Lexus IS300 when he came across Linda's ‘Team Praxxis’ Toyota Matrix, which inspired him to start building his. Considering not a lot of people build a Matrix, it’s always a  challenge to find parts, so when he does they’re always a must to get.
