The reason for my love of lowriders is really the design. The 63 Impala is amazing with regard to design. It has this edge running down both sides with points at both ends that make it stand out. And if you look at it from the right angle it looks like it goes on forever. You add the three circular tail lights and the grill on the front... it simply looks amazing. But then you when you drop it to the ground... put it on Daytons... with a candy coated drippin paint... and a hydrolic system... daaaaaaaaaamn! It just makes it look more ridiculous.
The other part is the hydrolics. To be able to make a car do something it shouldn't do also makes me smile. You can't help but be amazed when you see a lowrider hop or hit a 3 wheel motion. They are basically Hot Wheels for grown ups. You gotta love it.
The truth is any car can be a lowrider, but honestly most cars after the 1980s just don't work as lowriders. I'm all for cutting emissions and a greener planet, but the designs of modern cars just don't work for lowriders. You can candy coat any car and put some rims on it, but it just won't look as dope as the ones you see below.
And sorry Vic, but all of these street racers... the Hondas, Acura, etc... I don't care how fast you can drive... hell build it so that it can go 300 miles per hour down a city street... will NEVER look as dope as a 63 Impala on 100 spokes. The lines... the chrome... the paint... what more can i say.
I used to get Lowrider Magazine every month cause I couldn't get enough of them. I'd be lying if I said the beautiful Latina women posing with the cars didn't spark my interest as well. Beautiful Latinas and beautiful lowriders are a great combination.
