Wékfest Florida 2016: West Palm Beach

Intro:

Since December 2014, Wékfest has been a staple of Boxed Lifestyle's show season and 2016 was no different. We were originally scheduled to bring 10 builds to the event, which quickly became 7 as Alex's Nissan Cube and Emilio's xB did not leave their respective body shops in time and Gilbert's Honda Crosstour was unable to make the trip due to a last minute schedule conflict.

New to this years Wékfest lineup was Zach's Subaru Impreza which is a great example of what we call a "HaGon". A HaGon by our definition is a crossbreed between a wagon and a hatchback. If you have a rear door car with a small third window on either side, you have a HaGon.

Our Lineup:

Rick's Scion xB.

Javier's Honda Odyssey

Rob's HHR SS

Zach's Subaru Impreza

Alex's Scion xB

Rich's Mazda 5 

My 2006 Scion xB

  

My Take:

Wékfest is just one of those special events. Even our third time around, it is still refreshing to take in the atmosphere Junior and the Wékfest staff strive to provide. Wékfest draws some of the best builds in the region without all the drama. Which is so rare to find these days in this new "car scene" era where the cars that are in the show some how take a back seat to a C-List rapper or a dance off.

Features:

My goal moving forward with this blog is to bring attention to other Bovagon and Microhatch builds at events we attend. I will be developing this section of my posts further and expanding the amount of builds. Here is a pair of builds that caught my eye from Wékfest.

Chevy Spark

Mazda 3 Wagon

Up Next:

Our next post should be toward the end of January for Gulf Coast Motor Fest. After that will be BoVaGon on February 5, 2017 which we are still accepting VIP applications and pre-registrations for.

Shout out to Chris Mendez of USA Stance for providing the visuals.

Our BoVaGon2 Update and Why You Should be Excited About Indonesian Car Culture

So as everyone is already aware, earlier this month we had to cancel our annual BoVaGon event. Like many of you, we were disappointed by the unfortunate timing involving BoVaGon 2 and Hurricane Matthew. The good news is, BoVaGon 2 has been rescheduled for February 5, 2017. Though, you may be asking yourself "how can I get my Bovagon fix?". "How am I gonna survive another 4 months without seeing a bunch of epic Boxes, Vans, Wagons, and Micro-Hatches all at one time?".

Well, Gettinlow.com has you covered! A couple months back Boxed Lifestyle and GettinLow came together in conjunction with VK Indonesia to bring you Bovagon day at Urban Klub. Urban Klub part 5 took place October 14-16 and we couldn't be more impressed with the turn out.

While the event coverage article provided by GettinLow is best read using a Google Translator language of your choice, the photographic coverage of some of the most unique Bovagons requires no translation. From big body Volvo wagons to RA Odysseys; from the lightly modded rides to the extreme biuilds there seems to have certainly been something for everyone at the event. We were impressed with not only the strong variety of Bovagon builds but the quality of the builds on display are what many of us aspire to.

The coverage on GettinLow.com supplies over 13 pages of photos for your viewing pleasure. Talk about getting your Bovagon fix.

We here at Boxed Lifestyle are honored to have been given the opportunity from GettinLow to be involved in Urban Klub let alone help bring a Bovagon event to Indonesia. We look forward to seeing what Bovagons and Micro-hatches come out in Indonesia next.

In the mean time, head over to GettinLow.com to check out the event coverage for yourself!
