Border Bash

The Second Annual Fiesta in the Rio Grande Valley

If you live in a border town, such as McAllen, Texas, a mix of customs and heritages will blend together. For the second time, Rafael “Rafa” Soto put on Border Bash, which attracted custom trucks and lowriders alike. Rafa not only throws this show for fun and to encourage the truck scene in the RGV, but for charity as well. He is a cancer survivor and is using his second chance in life not only to spend the time with his family, but also to give back. The show has raised over $10,000 for a local children’s cancer clinic, Vannie E. Cook Jr. Over 400 vehicles came from all over Texas and even Mexico to the event that featured not only the hottest trucks that the Lone Star State has to offer, but also a large variety of the best Mexican food around, including tamales, carnitas, carne asada, and the always delicious elotes.

Scrapin' the Coast

Casinos, Beaches, Girls, and Trucks—What Could be Better?

If there were a recipe for a utopian car show, some of the ingredients would include tons of girls, great food, friends, casino gambling, and entertainment aside from the custom cars and trucks. SEMA in Las Vegas comes to mind as a show that combines all of those elements, but what if you threw the ocean and sandy beaches into the mix as well?
