Default Jessi Combs

We have lost one of the better car show presenters. Always seemed to know what she was doing, very talented.
RIP young lady...

Yeah, read that this morning.

Went out doing what she loved. Live FAST, die young. RIP

I remember her back on overhaulin!! Was a legend and a massive loss to the car community...

As cliché as it may be, at least her Friends and family can get some hope out of the fact she was doing something she loved and was passionate about...
