Is that low enough?

Is that low enough?
Amazing example of Lowriders: www.pinterest.com/pin/366058275934974258
They're in the "down" position only when parked.

Well that's not going anywhere for a while - unless it's supposed to be like that, in which case I hope the roads are level and well kept. Well spotted and taken Diane :-))

It has air lifters, my grandson said, so it can be a "lowrider" when on display or up higher when they drive. Lowrider cars are an invention of Mexican American car clubs in Los Angeles. It's a huge deal down there and they have influenced others who restore cars/trucks in the hot rod style. (Whew! Why do I know this stuff?)

Glad you enjoyed it. I'm fascinated by that particular car culture and I think the cars are just amazingly creative.

And I always thought Citroen introduced that in the 1960s. Read about the DS model.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn

"These vehicles shared the distinguishing feature of rising to operating ride height when the engine was turned on, like a "mechanical camel" (per Car & Driver magazine). A lever beside the driver's seat allowed the driver to adjust the height of the car, later replaced with an electronic switch. The height adjustability of the suspension allows for clearing obstacles, fording shallow (slow-moving) streams, and changing tires."

I don't know which came first, Citroen or Los Angeles lowriders. Maybe Citroen, which never took off in the US. Everybody hated the way they looked ("the cockroach"), except for about a dozen university professors on the east coast. ; )
