Checking off the boxes
________________________________
Towards the end of 2020 I knew I wanted to get things started here again. The year was weird and honestly you don’t need me here to remind you that it was. But as I was mindlessly scrolling through Instagram seeing a few local cars pop up, I realized sometimes what we all need is a break from what was happening around us. That is what this hobby does for so many of us; it’s not a way to push things aside and forget about the bigger stuff, often times it’s the very thing that helps us clear our heads so we can tackle the bigger things. Whether you get this feeling from hanging out in a garage with friends, prepping your car for a weekend on the track – or in my case, loading up the little gear I have now to get some photographs of a local vehicle and shooting the shit with the owner – sometimes, a good hobby is all you need.

How to start the year (a little late)
First event coverage of the year, and it’s pretty fitting that the last event I covered was also an Auto-X event by the RGVPCA. This time around two organizations came together which brought two different crowds of automotive enthusiasts together. Sometimes when worlds collide- it’s not such a terrible thing, especially in this case.

Back In The Saddle (Again)
Well, here we are again. We’re less than a month away from having been completely inactive here at Gear-Trends for a full year, and trust me, it’s not a good feeling. I’d come back to look at this site, look for something local to go to, and then just stayed at home. It’s a weird feeling to have something you’re so passionate about take a backseat while life is happening, but it does happen. But what a better way to get back into it then to be at an event, at a new location, seeing cars do what they were built to do?
