I’ve been a part of the local car scene for a little over 8 years, and in that time frame I moved around the different groups of enthusiasts. I was first thrown into the muscle car group, moved over into the truck group, then finally landed in the import scene around 2005. One thing that I value the most over being a part of this scene is not getting great deals on parts, going out to car shows and events, or even building my car for my own pleasure- although that is most important to me personally, No, the thing I value the most are the friendships I’ve been able to make over the years. It gives me great pleasure to be able to write about one of the guys I was able to meet early on in the local import scene.

We return to you with a truck from the opposite spectrum of the truck scene that we brought you last time. Some people decide to hug the earth, by going with a static drop or air ride- modifying the frame to sit lower. That is one road you can go down…and then there is this road.

It’s not every day you see a featured truck on the streets, especially one that just recently graced the covers of Truckin’ Magazine. This is Hugo Vela’s 2007 GMC Sierra.
