The Lowrider culture runs deep. I was in Okinawa, JP a few years back and saw lowriders bouncing.

@Sergio Bolanos straight up. Chicano culture is not a Fashion trend here it’s a lifestyle. I grew up in the ‘80’s/‘90’s in San Gabriel valley and I’ve been blessed to meet some real OG’s and see some of that culture first hand. Mostly BBQ’s Tattoo shops and Car Shows but there were some crazy moments that would make most people piss in their pants. Looking back it was still fun at the worst of times.

@Sergio Bolanos exactly bro. I earned the tattoos I have on my face and body. Proudly have the city of Covina’s seal on my hand because that’s where I was raised and been in the car scene for a long ass time. I never built a classic Chevy or Olds/Buick but my accord is on bags and you’ll find me and my club at any meet you can find where I stay now. I’m 38 so we don’t do any gangster shit unless we have to but it’s always a good time when cars and friends are involved. My next project is going to be something with a lot of chrome and juice fat sure. Been shopping G body’s, I’ll find one soon.
“Long Beach Lloyd” Always Repping the Lowrider Scene Hard, 💯 Nothing but Positive Vibes he Brings! That 61 Definitely a Dream Car! RIP 2PAC!
I love the fact that Tupac still lives 2Pac meant a lot to the culture. #Westside

What a cool guy! and that ride is second to none 👍
Gotta respect the low rider culture
Just got done taking mine out with a couple of the outta state homies. Graff life. This came in my recommendations with perfect timing 👊💯
Well I would own a low rider if I could afford one. I really like that one!! Especially since 2 Pac drove it and it was one of his music videos!!! And I love the gold rims stearing wheel and all the extras. Very cool. Thanks for sharing I love this!!!!!
Damn he's lucky to have that 🤯 beautiful car, with a beautiful story, not your average lowrider 💯👍 I would be terrified to crash it.
Back in the mid 90's I had a subscription to lowrider magazine and used to put 64 impala models together and deck them as I wanted my lowrider to look. I think I was the only kid where I grew up that was into them. Somewhere along the way since then, 30 years later I still don't own one but I believe this will be my next venture. What an awesome car, I'm glad the lowrider culture has survived and people are still preserving these gems.
I’m in U.K. so I’ve never got to see a lowrider in real life sadly. But none the less, I really love these low riders and wish I could own one, one day.
what a great way to honor one of my most cherished artist. I give many praise to the builder. to me when you build something it has to mean something. its special if that something is connected to the things in this world that completes my idea of me then i know indefinitely Ive done my due diligence in the pursuit of happiness. the reason we do anything is to share the glory that comes from the trials and tribulations. great video
