EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- The first annual “Rolling with the Ladies” Car Show made history as El Paso’s first-ever car show judged exclusively by women.

Tune in Sunday, Feb. 23, for the full story at 8 a.m. and again in the evening. This Sunday Funday moment is brought to you by Sarah Farms. To be featured in a future Sunday Funday segment, email Iris.Garcia-Barron@KVIA.com.

The event showcased a variety of vehicles, including classic lowriders, luxury customs, lifted trucks, imports, bikes and RC cars. While the car community has traditionally been male-dominated, organizers said this show aimed to break stereotypes and highlight the growing presence of women in the industry.

Car enthusiasts from across the region came together not just to compete but to celebrate the craftsmanship and culture behind lowriding.

“Not only is it bringing the community together, but it’s empowering more females,” one participant said.

Event organizer Cristy said she was inspired by similar car shows in California and Dallas and saw an opportunity to bring the concept to El Paso.

“What better place to have it than in our own backyard?” she said.

For many, lowriding is more than a hobby—it’s a passion passed down through generations.

“We love these cars just as much as our husbands and boyfriends do,” another participant said.

Each car carried a unique story, from intricate paint jobs to custom interiors. Judges evaluated every detail, making the competition fierce.

“There are so many beautiful cars,” one judge said.

With a strong turnout and overwhelming support, organizers said they hope to make “Rolling with the Ladies” an annual event, proving that women are not just part of car culture—they are shaping its future.
