i'm just curious here... some care, some don't care; there are different perceptions of lowriders and what that means. as for me, i don't mind, i could go either way. to me it's not a lowrider, but if someone throws it out there, i don't really say anything.
how do you feel?

I actually like it , but i hate when people assume i have Hydraulics and won't ask anything and then argue the point to my friends that i got hydros . Besides , i generally roll around about 1 to 1 1/2 inches off the ground anyways , so i guess it is a lowrider . LOL
Of course i drag my tag . http://www.myspace.com/firerat6069 http://www.myyearbook.com/tagdragger4life

Why would you get offended?I mean were not sporting wires anymore but we all like it LOW so instead of getting mad ,school em on what a minitruck is.
I actually dont mind at all,i was into lowriders,i had (2) 79 coupedeville's a 78 chrystler cordoba,all with 13x8 wires,shaved handles and ,slammed! I aint into the gangsta thing anymore,thats why I lost intrest in the culture not the cars.
Im actually helping my brother in-law build his 79 coupe,trying to get a mad standing 3. gotta extend those trailing arms and get some powerballs.
Sometimes being called the lowest form of Customs aint all that bad!!

honestly, its all good, minitruckin sorta sparked from low the lowrider craze, and its no like lowriders dont know how to build a car or truck, some of the cleanest, maticulous work is in lowriders. Now the same work can be see else where, but its pretty evident they arent slacking. And really, who cares if they think you are running 18 batteries, they prolly think its bitchin regardless, and even if they dont, drop you rollpan to the ground and cruise away.

ahaha, whats wrong, dont feel you can hang with the big boys of hoppin. ahaha, i can dig lowriders, its not my think, but the old body "bombs" are really clean and sweet, and the well done newer (relative) stuff ussually can power three wheel and all that other stuff i wish i could have and not have to worry about blown lines or poor ride.

the only time i got mad is wen somebody combined the word "lowrider" and the word "mexican" in the same sentence. i'm into lowriders and all, but i ain't no mexican.
Check out my small and tall Jeeps and tell me what you think!

i don't get mad i just correct them and tell em its a mini. I don't care if they call it mexican, we are all pink on the inside. But maybe since i'm a paleface i should drive a 4x4 with a confederate flag in the back window and the chrome naked women hanging on my mudflaps... I just don't see that happening.
