Ridin' Low Slammin' Oldies

Just as hot rodders of the fifties embraced doo-wop & rock & roll, lowriders also share a passion for the old school sounds, though of a more recent vintage. As exotic custom sound systems pound out the best jams from back in the day, crusin' in low mode is not just a life style, it's a way of life.
This one's for la Raza!
