Jose Flores is a retired Army Combat Veteran and it's always been his dream to own a Nissan GT-R. When Flores retired, his wife surprised him and gave him the "go ahead" to buy a 2009 Nissan GT-R. After the military, he became a Government Contractor, and he's spent the last 4 years deployed to various countries.
"I have invested a lot of time and money into the car," Flores mentions, "and this has and always will be a passion of mine."
Over the years, Flores has loved attending shows, hosting events and teaching young kids that all their dreams are possible if dedication and hard work is achieved.
"I am currently the Brand Ambassador for Voodoo Ride products," he mentions, "and I have represented Falken Tires, Savini Wheels, Harrison Performance, Air Lift Performance, Ceramic Pro and ColorBomb Wraps over the years with honor and integrity."
Flores plans to use his platform to reach out to the younger generation and teach them about the car culture.
