A stroll through a classic car show can sure bring back memories — especially for the visitors who grew up attending shows and now reminisce on the “good ole days.” It can also be a great opportunity to create new memories with your children or grandchildren.
Coming to the Rod Run and hearing people’s memories of the cars their folks had, or a friend of theirs in high school had, is all part of the ambiance that makes these shows so great.
Everybody remembers their first car and the feeling of freedom driving their friends around town in a really cool set of wheels. Maybe they even recall the cross-country trip they spent in the back seat of their parents’ car... or their very first car show.
Keeping that in mind, I just want to suggest this: take your time, talk to those around you- like other show goers, or those who brought their car to showcase, even vendors! Find out their stories — what made them choose that car or that color? You may find inspiration for your own projects and make new friends.
In this fast paced world where people would rather post a “Happy Birthday” meme on your Facebook instead of calling you, don’t leave the Rod Run without making a few human connections.

THE ULTIMATE 7
THE TOP 25
“I grew up in a hard working middle class neighborhood outside Los Angeles in a city named Whittier” says Janic. “My parents were both immigrants with mom being from Mexico and my dad from Serbia.”
As one can imagine, finding your way in a new country, overcoming language barriers and beginning a life together had its challenges. “Dad was eager to become a citizen, learn the language and serve his country by joining the United States Army.
A trait that not only carried Janic’s father to a career as an aerospace engineer, but her mother also, as a registered nurse. “I had a great childhood, I really did” she says with purpose, “but I always felt like there was a bigger world out there for me and I needed to experience it.”
“I got great grades throughout school. I was in student government, a cheerleader and graduated at the top of my class in high school with honors” adds Janic. “I really had the perfect resume to go to college but it just didn’t feel right.”
“I thought, growing up around airplanes and cool fighter jets dad would work on, I would join the Air force. I even met with recruiters until one day in the supermarket I was spotted by a modeling scout. “
“At the time my parents weren’t thrilled with my decision not to go to college but I think once they saw how hard I was working, particularly as a young woman just out of high school in the modeling industry, they became more supportive.”
Like many who have had the courage to blaze their own path, Janic has no regrets. “I learned a lot about myself and honestly, the world” says Adrienne. “Modeling afforded me the opportunity to see things people only read about in books, to try things most have never heard of and to meet people from all cultures.”
“My Overhaulin’ experience began when the show was looking for actors to help prank the “mark” in order to get people’s car.
I really didn’t know a lot about cars at the time” admits AJ who gleefully tells us that up until that point, claimed her 1990 Toyota Corolla SR5 sport as the coolest car on the road.
Eventually, Adrienne would become an integral part of the show, but not without once again drawing from a lifelong work ethic. “When I first joined, I pretty much had to learn everything including the tools, many of which actually scared me.”
“I never imagined that one day I would be helping build some of the coolest cars anywhere but here I am! I’m so fortunate to be surrounded by the best teachers in the world, who took the time to teach me, and it all began with classic car building 101. Label everything!”
As much as Adrienne captures her share of the spotlight, it is perhaps her role as mother that takes center stage. “When I became a mom I began to see the world through a different lens” she explains. “Having a child makes me continuously want to do better and be better. I want to be able to provide experiences and places like I had, except this time we can do it together.”
For now, AJ says that she’s excited to be back on Overhaulin’ helping others realize their dreams. “I get to work with amazing people who are also my friends, how can you beat that?”
No matter what lies on the road ahead, Janic remains true to herself and those closest to her. For the young girl from Whittier who paved her own way, to the respected host she is today, Adrienne “AJ” Janic continues earning her success.

If you are covered by a typical insurance policy, you may be paying too much and paying for the wrong kind of coverage. Standard automobile policies may not offer Agreed Value Coverage, so in the event of a loss, you will be offered a settlement amount (Actual Cash Value) less than what it will cost to replace your “pride and joy”. There’s more, standard auto policies don’t always give a price discount for the “care, custody and control” you give your collector automobile. In short, standard auto policies do not reflect an understanding of how fine collector cars are maintained and enjoyed.
However, we at Farris Insurance Agency Inc. can offer you an insurance program that really demonstrates the value and the uniqueness of your vintage or classic car(s). We can give you a better solution by working with experts who are collectors themselves. Grundy Worldwide, Hagerty Insurance and American Collectors, have been insuring these special vehicles for almost 50 years. We provide peace of mind protection to over 4000 car collector individuals and families.
Program Features:
• Coverage for individual cars and collections.
• Agreed Value Coverage.
• High liability limits.
• Unlimited “hobby” mileage.
• $0 deductible, NC has $50 deductibles.
• Prompt, fair claim service.
• Competitively priced.
• Excellent customer service. We have 30+ years writing collectors and collections.
