Full Throttle Thursday- @Xx__Mercado__xX




This week’s blog features Jorge Mercado. The military brought him to the Clarksville area in 2018. Jorge started a business since he has lived here called Mercado’s Custom Audio. He gives Gearhead members 25% off purchases so go over and like his Facebook page at




Jorge’s car, which he calls La Betsy, is a 1996 Mitsubishi 3000 GT SL and he has owned it for four years. The car has a gorgeous gold satin wrap and full audio build including 19 speakers. The one thing that is special about the car is the hood. It is a memorial to his grandfather who passes away a few years back. Future plans include installing a single turbo kit. Is this dream car? Jorge says, “My dream car is a 67 Karmann Ghia.” I asked Jorge if he has a favorite place to drive his car. He said, “My top three spots to drive is Needmore Road, I like the curves, the marina on Riverside Drive, and the back 40 on Ft. Campbell.” The back 40 is a beautiful drive!




I asked Jorge what he likes about being a member of the Clarksville Gearheads. He said, “I love the diversity. There’s always a wide variety of cars, trucks, and bikes that come out.”


If you would like to follow Jorge and La Betsy on Instagram, their name is Xx__Mercado__xX.
