Ever since Aaron Rodriguez was a kid he has always had interest in cars and mechanical things. "I tinkered at a young age," mentions Rodriguez. His current vehicle is a 2013 Scion FR-S which he's had since in 2013. "I began modifying it right away," states Rodriguez, "and still continue to modify it to this day." To Rodriquez, it's more than just another car - it's his hard work and freedom of expression - something he's put many countless hours into.

"Wrenching away and working on the car is like an escape to me from my stresses," mentions Rodriguez. The FR-S is a project he can put (his) focus on and forget the rest.

From stock to now, Rodriguez has put a lot of work into it himself and with the help from others.

"I have learned a great amount from the FR-S and continue to progress more and more," states Rodriguez, "and it has helped me meet and network with many people along the way, much more than any other project."
