Enthusiast Car Co.

10/23/2026

Before Enthusiast Car Co. had a sign on the building or a single car on the lot, it was a dream—and Andrew DatThang Nguyen played a huge part in helping turn it into something real. He helped us find this property, negotiate the deal, and close on the place we now get to call home.

Today, I got to hand him the keys to his Tesla Model X Plaid in front of that same building. A pretty special full-circle moment that doesn’t always work this way 💪

Building ECC has taken a lot of hard work, big risks, and support from people I’ll always be grateful for. Andrew is a huge part of our story and we thank you for helping us get started, and for coming back to support the business you helped make possible.

Enjoy the Plaid. This one means a lot. 🙏⚡️

We’ve all been there—opening the car door only to be hit by a wave of blistering, suffocating heat, grabbing a steering wheel that feels like a hot skillet, and squinting against the brutal summer glare. But the real danger is what you can’t feel: the relentless, invisible UV rays baking your skin and cracking your interior through standard glass hour after hour.
At Enthusiast Car Co., we believe your vehicle should be a cool, comfortable sanctuary, not an oven. Born out of a passion for elite automotive care, we became the Twin Cities' premier destination for advanced UV protection. As an authorized XPEL dealer, we don't just tint windows for style—we install a high-performance shield that blocks 99% of harmful UV rays and rejects the heat. We transform your daily drive from a scorching chore into a sleek, protected, and incredibly cool experience.
☀️ MAY SPECIAL: In honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month and "Don't Fry Day," beat the heat early with 15% OFF all Prime Window Tint packages. Protect your skin, cool your cabin, and rewrite your summer drive.
