There are plenty of people that won’t leave their city, let alone their county to attend a car show, but that’s not the case for Bernardo Casian. A resident of Cathedral City, CA, he’s a diehard lowrider enthusiast who took to the streets by taking a two-way trip to Miami just to hit the Miami Lowrider Super Show.
Driving such distances can be quite the adventure, especially when hauling a truck and trailer, but thanks to social media, we let him sweat the journey while we enjoyed the trip. With his 1950 Chevrolet Deluxe in tow, he took to social media to chronicle his adventures and we followed him all the way through.
Now let’s look at the facts. To get to Miami from Cathedral City is roughly 2,622 miles and it would take you just about 45 hours to get there if you were driving 71 mph — with only 8 hours and 30 minutes left to sleep and pop a few squats. We also know that you can’t really legally drive at 71 mph with a trailer so this was definitely a brutal trip.
Needless to say Bernardo (@19five0chevy) of Uniques car club made magic on the trip along with the help of Indo (@indiorollerzonly) from Rollerz Only. But no road trip is complete without a hiccup and that’s exactly what went down. Everything was going great until we got into Texas,” explains Bernardo. “We got pulled over in Texas because the cop suspected us of being commercial drivers and not having an ICC/DOT numbers. In the end, the cop let us go but I had to put ‘Not For Hire’ stickers on my truck.”
Other than that, the rest of the trip went off without a hitch and once the pair got to Miami it was game over. At the show the pink bomb grabbed everyone’s attention – especially the ladies who fell in love with the flaked out pink patterns. By the time the show ended they also ended up taking home 1st place in their respective category and also taking home Best of Show Bomb.
To celebrate the winning, and to get ready for the maiden voyage back home, the fellas did what most lowrider guys would do by having the required celebratory dinner. Complete with lobster and steak, the two feasted into the night and as with most fancy dinners somehow their fingers were to too busy to reach out and dial a homie.
So in closing I’d like to say thanks for the invite, but we’ll catch up soon — and hopefully at a place that serves lobster and steak. But all jokes aside, I’d like to congratulate the fellas for taking home the win and for sharing their journey on IG.
