Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (M.E.Ch.A.) put together its second annual car show at San Jose City College on May 7. Classic cars were shown from car clubs including Impalas Car Club Central Coast, Bay Bombs and Padrinos Car Club. Bike club, United Riders were also showing off their lowrider bikes. <\/figcaption><\/figure>Students and the community came together at San Jose City College on May 7 for the second annual Lowrider Show and fundraiser hosted by the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan club. <\/p>\n

Yazmin Madriz, 21, sociology major and a M.E.Ch.A. club mem ber, said that there were about 20 car and 15 bicycle entries. She said that all proceeds from the event go toward scholarships.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year the event helped seven people that raised $5,000,\u201d Madriz said. \u201cWe want to share to never give up whatever barriers, there is always a way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abraham Hernandez, 21, Vice President of M.E.Ch.A., law enforcement and psychology major, said that the M.E.Ch.A. club mission is to promote higher learning and understanding of Mexican-American culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people think that if its lowriders, it will cause problems,\u201d Hernandez said. \u201cWe\u2019re not just cruising; it\u2019s part of our culture.\u201d
\nMaria Guerra, 20, <\/p>\n

M.E.Ch.A. English major, said that the M.E.Ch.A. club faced challenges while putting the show together this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had opposition from the administration, bureaucratic obstacles,\u201d Guerra said. \u201cWith the hecticness at SJCC, we weren\u2019t presented with a clear process. There was skepticism about the theme, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite these challenges, music played and vendors were there. Food and raffle tickets were sold to raise money for the scholarships as spectators looked at the cars and bikes.<\/p>\n

Daniel Lopez, 37, a spectator, said that the cars caught his eye as he was walking by SJCC.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s nice to have this show over here,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cIt would have been great if there were fliers so other schools could participate, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christina Cavesuela, 33, said she brought her 1963 Impala to the event after hearing about it at another car show.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to see the community come out and participate,\u201d Cavesuela said. \u201cAnd it is great to get some scholarships for these kids.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
