Before



Before there was an Internet and Facebook, Discovery Channel and all the other "modern technology" if you wanted to see somethng you had to be there. Trends didn't travel at the speed of light, it would take time for things to catch on and fade. If you wanted to hear a new band you had to go to your local record store and find it, for me it was usually in the import section because the bands I liked were not putting out records in the US. Trends in the way you dressed could be distinguished from town to town, as little as 8 miles was a world away. If it was LA style you were shit out of luck, unless you had family there or visited it was another planet. Car styles have gone through trends, kustoms of the 80's were way different from what you see today, hot rods have evolved and de evolved? and gone back to "TRADITIONAL". 70's 80's Lowrider styles are making a comeback and kustoms are going back to the way they were meant to be. Low Loud Colorful cars that grab your attention, make you want to drive one, be seen in one, to own one. Where will we be in 10 years
Whats the next big thing or does it survive?

STYLE





You can Have Style,You can like a Style, you can even be Style-Less
To me I don't care what Style your car is, as long as it has Style
The effort, whether you did the work or paid is not the issue, the passion is
To some people it doesnt even matter as long as it runs and gets them where they need to go
Well to me I want to look good getting there, even if it is no place at all

BLUES

You can get the blues, feel blue, sing the blues, you can even make my brown eyes blue
When you decide to paint it Blue you have more then a few choices

Japan Or East LA In The 70'S






Most of you know that Lowriding is nothing new in Japan, and that they are not just starting out. They have taken what was created here and preserved the  look and style of cars from the early days of Lowriding. They emulated what they saw in Lowrider Magazine and adopted a whole lifestyle culture and dress that was in  the magazine. I have been a fan of their cars for a while and I can appreciate the work that they put into their cars. When you factor in the cost of the car, sometimes having to ship it to Japan from the US registration paint parts etc etc it is not a cheap hobby for them. But they keep it going, and just like a lot of things American that they like, they do it right and sometimes even better? all of the pictures were borrowed from Local Hero Japan
