About me

My name is Isabela. I am originally from Massachusetts but now live in El Paso, TX. I grew up going to car shows with my dad and his Dodge Challenger and watched Initial D. When I got back from my Army deployment, I knew it was time for my own car journey and bought my 2018 Toyota GT86 (automatic, sorry)! The goal is a show/track build that I can use to show others the process, good and bad. I’ve always loved cars but knew nothing about them, so I’m learning everything as I go!

I also married into a lifted 2015 Silverado LT, my alter ego. A quick look into the Big Red Dawg’s specs: 9″ Superlift Suspension Lift, McGaughys Struts, 3″ Body Lift from Tire City, 24×14 Savage Offroad Wheels, and 37×13.50 Tires. Unfortunately due to quite high rollover risk, there is no way I’d be allowed to take the truck to autocross. Tragic, I know.

Drawing

In college, I did lots of painting and some drawing, especially during Covid. Since I am medically retiring from the Army, I have extra time and decided to start back up with drawing. I love the experience of being able to draw all sorts of cars, especially when I get to see them in person too!

Videography

I love seeing the classic roller shots of a car going down the highway as much as anyone else, howeverrrrr I aim to create more cinematic moments of your car, truck, or bike that can really give the wow factor.
