A lowrider is a
car or truck which has had its suspension system modified (sometimes
with hydraulic suspension) so that it rides as low to the ground as
possible. Lowriders often have user controlled height adjustable
suspension. Lowriders are very often classic cars from the 1950s
which rode low to begin with, although large numbers of 1940s and
1960s cars are also so modified, and to a lesser degree newer
vehicles. The word is also used to refer to those who drive or own
such cars.

internal parts are likely to take damage from any form of an
obstruction or imperfection in the road surface. The reverse
automobile trait is people who drive raised trucks, expressing the
ability to ignore such problems no matter how damaged the road is or
whether they are on the road or not. |
