Revista Caminos Vehicle of the Month sponsored by Auto Emporium

Lets hear it one more time… who says females only drive cute small vehicles? Nowadays this is most definitely not the case, every type of person may own and drive every type of vehicle imaginable.  Times have change, for the better! From Mexican parents in search of the American dream, Maria Arias and her family settled in Oregon when she was four years old.  Growing up in the Rogue Valley, Maria received her education in the Phoenix-Talent school district.  With determination and the will to achieve her goals, Maria enrolled in Southern Oregon University in 2007.   In 2012, with great effort and dedication she obtained her Bachelors in Business Administration with a focus in the accounting field.

Maria is part of the select group of females willing to navigate such a grand truck with great character.  It is not everyday that we see a young lady such as Maria driving an enormous truck with a lifted suspension.  When she is seen in her truck, Maria typically encounters many shocked observers who more often than not assume she is not the owner, “everyone is surprised to see me step out of my truck, people typically think I am driving my boyfriends truck when in reality I am the proud owner.”  Maria’s 2008 black Toyota Tacoma was like love at first sight, “I just replaced the grill, added tread running boards and wheels making it the perfect truck for me.”
