Val Arias: 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4

It all started at a local Go Auto dealership for Val Arias. He was looking for something cheap and with a manual transmission. "I wanted to learn how to drive manual," mentions Arias. Initially, a Hyundai Tiburon caught his eye online, but unfortunately it was in British Columbia. His friend that was selling him (the) cars decided to show him a beautiful red Caliber SRT4. "I was never into domestics, 4 doors, nor hatchbacks," states Arias, "but that manual transmission, that beautiful red paint, and that turbo and horsepower really sold me!"

Fast forward a few months, Arias was driving around a mall parking lot, when suddenly a man approached him and asked if he wanted to join the Alberta CSRT4 Club. "That's what introduced me to the car scene. Now I run my own club with a bunch of awesome people."

    Modifications came naturally for Arias, "I never really knew why, but i just started doing it." All modifications were mostly done by himself and with the help of my friends. "A shop scammed me before," mentions Arias, "so I knew that I was better off doing it myself."

Currently, Arias is studying automotive mechanics and learning more ways to upgrade his Caliber SRT4.
