    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.

    Staying The Course

    I usually don’t stress about writing these articles, ok that’s a damn lie. Most times I just bullshit my way through it the day before I decide to release an article, and more times than not its just the ramblings of a bitter guy that’s not happy with where the car scene locally has gone. But I’m tired of that, sure things could be way better like for those of us that have been around long enough to recall the “golden years” – but it’s pointless to live in the past. Being able to see this car go from a completely stock and unmolested daily to what you see here along with a mod list most of us have only dreamed of getting to is something that’s in a way shifted my focus on things. This time instead of stressing over the article due to being the worlds largest procrastinator- this time it was due to something entirely different.

    Right Place – Right Time

    I rarely go to hangouts anymore, and it’s not like I drive around town looking for cars to feature – which really doesn’t seem like a bad idea. If you end up finding a Gear-Trends business card on a windshield would that be weird? Just thinking out loud here, anyways. The city of Harlingen was throwing a bicycle event and it all lead to the library where apparently a “car show” of sorts was happening. RGV Modern Mopar were posted up there, and once I had my fill of riding around my fixed gear bike like the true hipster I am- I struck up a conversation with some of them. That’s how I ended up meeting these guys, and after a while I was finally able to get one of them in front of the camera to feature. Take that social anxiety!
