Nicole Morgan+FollowEl Paso’s toughest cars for desert lifeTriple-digit heat, endless highways, and dusty winds make El Paso a true test for any car. Some vehicles just can’t take the punishment—overheating, faded interiors, and weak AC are common complaints. But a few models, like the Toyota 4Runner, are built to thrive here, with rugged cooling systems and interiors that don’t crack under the sun. On the flip side, cars with turbo engines or flimsy materials tend to wear out fast in our climate. What’s your experience—has your ride survived El Paso’s extremes, or did it tap out early? #Cars #ElPaso #CarTalk00Share

Jennifer Reyes+FollowEl Paso’s Chamizal fights for cleaner airChamizal neighbors are taking a stand at the Bridge of the Americas, demanding that heavy truck traffic finally move to the Tornillo port—where it was meant to go. For years, families here have dealt with pollution from idling trucks, and now, as the U.S. plans to ban trucks from BOTA, a Mexican industry group is pushing back, claiming it’ll just shift pollution elsewhere. Residents call this out as hypocrisy, saying industry never cared about their air until now. How do you think border communities should balance industry needs and public health? #Business #Industry #ElPaso00Share
