THESE ARE TRUE STORIES COMING RIGHT FROM MANY RIDERS FROM ALL OVER. I TRY AND KEEP THEM AS THEY ARE WRITTEN, RIGHT FROM THE STREETS, RIGHT FROM YO HOOD! I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN REALLY INTERESTED IN HOW SOMEONE GETS HOOKED OR IN SOME CASES THEY ARE BORN INTO THIS SHIT!

Lowriders caught my interest back in the mid 70s in San Diego. When my uncle (RIP) rolled up in a 73 Riviera on Cragars. The Car Club was the Bachelors back then. So now along with my other cars, I have a 71 Riviera in respect to my Uncle. Through the years, seen a lot of trends come and go. but after it’s all said and done.. It’s still 13s & 14s on mine!

REPENTANCE
Going to get Burger King on Crenshaw Blvd in the late 80′s when i was about 5 years old as a kid in the back of my dad’s stock Cutty, hearing him say “i cant stand these lowrider mother fka’s, they think they can do whatever they want with the streets”(cuz they were blocking traffic), so i looked up curious and saw a Brown 65 hoppin right infront of our car and a sexy  candy purple 64 goin by.
That was all i needed!

ps- now my dad talks mess all the time about me loving it lol!

I think I was more or less born into it.My mom had a 1953 & 1954 Belair.My uncle and aunt had 1956 & 1955 Belairs.Growing up in Pasadena California in the late 60s and early 70s is what cemented it for me.Growing up watching older homeboys like Radious,Ronald Dee Dee,Hamburger,Gordy,and then hitting my teenage years right around the time hydraulics started to take off in the 70s and watching two more of my Pasadena homies, White Boy Chuck and Andy Lodi put Dena on the lowriding & hopping map.Also my trips to LA, and hanging out at Boys Market or Burger King or Crenshaw Blvd on Sunday nights.Like I said,I was born to this

damn will try to keep it short,was born in the IE, Fontana,we moved to Oregon in “68″,was in 5th grade at that time,was just starting to build models and in 1970 got to go to the IE for the summer at my Nino’s house in Bloomington, a cousin came by and took me to Palmetto park in Fontana, and coming into the parking lot was a jet black 64 Grand Prix with a LA rake,that ass went up as he came into the parking lot then slammed her when he parked it,I had never seen a car do that before and my cousin knew him and took me over there and I just couldn’t take my eyes off that car,he hit the switches a few times for me,slow back then,and I still remember that day as if it was yesterday,I probably drove my cousins crazy forever talking about that GP,soon as I got back home tore apart every model I had and slammed them all,moved back to the IE in 73,got my first ride in 75,a 55 Pontiac and lowered her and been rollin’ low since that summer day in 1970

I was around lowriders my whole life, but never really noticed or triped off them. My pops tells me I use to get picced up from school in one when I was in kindergarden!!!LOL!!
I got hooked around 88 when I was 10, I saw a clean ass glass house across the street from here I was living at the time. It was a champane color on some 13” d’z, layed out, with a INDIVIDUALS plaque in the bacc window! I later found out the owner was none other the Charles Clayton.
as a youngster I got into other things, and alot of shit living the life, but getting a lolo was always my dream. I finally started fixing up a bike when I was 15, and I been knee deep in this since!
I always wanted to be around lolo’s as a kid.always trying to sneek out to shows or cruz nights, or any kinda function they were having.

I had 2 clubs I always wanted to join, when I moved up north, I thought I could never be a INDIVIDUAL, but there were some homies out here that rolled there cars everyday, and some I went to school with. That Club was AZTLAN IMPERIALS, and I had a good friend that was a member that intrused me to the club! It was a honor for me to get in and I repped the club with pride for 8 years untill the club was no more.
after that I followed my dream as a youngster and became a INDIVIDUAL, and the rest is history!

IT WAS BACK IN 1991. I SAW BOYZ IN THE HOOD AND I WANTED A RED HYUNDAI…JK . I SAW THAT 64 CONV. JUICED AND THAT WAS IT. I THINK IT WAS FEBUARY, I STARTED SEARCHING FOR A CAR. FINALLY FOUND ONE IN MY PRICE RANGE, IT WAS A 1965 IMPALA SS FOR $750 IT RAN BUT SMOKED THE WHOLE TOWN UP. :biggrin: THERE WAS NO PICS OF THE CAR. JUST A SMALL CLASSIFIED AD IN SOME PAPER. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT A 65 EVEN LOOKED LIKE……..ALL I NEW IT WAS A 60′S IMPALA AND THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

HERE WE ARE IN 2009 AND I STILL HAVE THE CAR. SHIT I WAS ALWAYS POOR SO I STILL HAVEN’T FINISHED IT. BUT I HAVE NEVER GIVING UP ON THE DREAM OF FINISHING IT AND IT WILL BE AT THE DENVER SHOW THIS YEAR. THEN MY LIFE WILL HAVE COME FULL CIRCLE.

4 DOGS COME AND GONE
1 EX FIANCEE
1 CURRENT WIFE
2 NEW CHILDREN
18 YEARS TO FINISH YOUR IMPALA……….PRICELESS

When i was still inlisted in the army, my best friend built a 59 impala ragtop he named extacy. and just being behind the wheel of that car did it for me. i fell in love with the lifestyle and the car. cruising thru columbia,sc in that car and watchin people damn near break there necks to get a look at it was a turn on. and it also gives me a way to make my girlfriends juggs bounce…lmao!!!!!
