All Souped-Up Texas is all this Harlingen native knows but with the beach only 15 minutes away, Trenton Capps never had a dull weekend. After moving to Los Fresnos, Texas with his family, who he dearly misses, Mr. Capps found fun in 4 X 4-ing almost every weekend with the occasional incident of getting stuck. Though the sand flying out from under his tires is a fun hobby this pre-pharmacy major has a set future ahead that includes his passion for cars. Coming to UTSA was a big move for this freshman and the 4-hour distance from home leaves him a little nostalgic. “I hate the parking situation,” says Capps when asked what bothers him about the school. “Its especially hard when you have a huge lifted truck,” he continues on. When asked about his passion, Trenton didn’t hesitate to say it was his truck. When he was a sophomore he bought his beloved 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche from his father for 5000 dollars.

He even went on a side story on how a cop stopped him just to talk about how cool his truck was. “Yeah, he pulled up his car next to mine and we compared lights and their brightness and we just talked about everything that I did to it,” Capps said. Not all the cops are so enticed with it though, “I got a citation because one of the UTSA cops saw my green lights and alleged me of having drugs in them or something, it was so stupid…. but his backup thought they were really cool and I got the citation dropped,” Capps chuckled. As the truck talk continued, Trenton went on saying that he mowed lawns and cleaned pools to earn all the money he needed for his truck and then some, “it paid really well, I would make at least $300 a weekend.” Though he made sufficient funds throughout his high school years, Capps earned is Pharmacy Technician degree and plans on working in a Pharmacy through out college.
