Automotive enthusiasts will likely know the name, face, voice and stories of Jessi Lang well. And if they don’t, they should. This Motor Trend video presenter and host of The J-Turn has been something of a fixture in the enthusiast video world. But a year ago, Jessi seemingly vanished from the scene.
