      Their also the nicest people. I use to go to car shows a lot and because I had a Honda I’m the show I would hang out with the other people who have imports but they were all fuckin douche bags. So then I eventually started hanging out with the low rider group while the shows go on and they were always the most accepting and down to earth people.

      You only need to see one that has been done poorly to throw you off the idea. One idiot who doesn't do maintenance or bounces with hard tires and you think its just a completely stupid idea. But like with lifted trucks its a neat idea that quickly turns trashy if the people doing it aren't willing to put in the time or money to make it work right.

    Great to see Mike having so much fun in this video .What I find hilarious is the reactions my wife gets with her car in public .The looks on their faces when she gets in it and shows the young ones who it really belongs to and how it is done is priceless .She is a very short and petite 60 plus year old grandma .The car in question a 1964 Chevy Impala she has owned 43 years and counting .The sound of that sweet sounding 409 firing up and great pipes to boot is music to my ears .She has put over one million miles on this car herself .She was the one who pulled it out of the swamps and completely restored it all by herself way back when .The notion only men appreciate and can restore these cars is far from true .Here is your proof .This is not the only classic car she owns either .Every few years she strips it down and repaints it a different color depending on her mood at the time .She is thinking of Cobalt Blue this time instead of the Red and White it formerly was .When asked why she doesn't sell it she tells them she is just getting it broken in.Naturally her daughters ,grandkids and most of their friends were taught how to drive in this car .

    I went and took an Automotive Collision class and left with the love for painting and airbrushing, my dream is to be able to work on some traditional lowriders once I have a good grasp of what I can and can’t do, I find that lowriders have some of the most beautiful paint jobs you’ll find on a vehicle all the way down to the bolts in the frame. Seeing stuff like this always makes me hopeful I’ll find a group of guys to build a car with one day.

    I had hydraulics on my mini truck WAY before the airbag craze came along. As a white guy in a mini truck, I’d go out to LA and hang with lowrider crowds with their Impalas and Caprices. We’d do BBQs and car shows and cruise. My blonde hair, blue eyed, girlfriend and I were so out of place it was comical, yet no one cared. We use to have so much fun throwing switches with the lowrider crowd. It’s definitely not for everyone. But if you look at it all as a love for cars and nothing else, it’s an absolute blast, with some great people and some amazing memories.

    • @mephInc
      @mephInc 11 місяців тому +1

      The impalas are popular because of the X frame. It allows for easier 3 wheeling.
      However, over you get deep into the scene, you end up plating and reinforcing the entire frame. Otherwise you'll kink panels and pop out glass.

    Laughed so hard i cried at this, as a gearhead, car show and sound system competitor myself this car scene is a way of life and not for the faint of heart. I grew up drawing lowriders and buying lowrider magazine and lowrider arte. Built lowrider models but getting to see this brought back so many memories of my younger days. Thank you mike rowe this was amazing.
