Lowriding isn’t about how close your Impala sits to the concrete. It’s
about flexing your muscles, gritting your teeth, and shining your wheel
covers. At least that’s what we came away thinking after the “Hydraulic
Showdown” event, which was part of last month’s Cinco de Mayo festival
in St. Paul. But the art of lowriding was not lost on us—not with all
that horsepower on display, and all those eye-popping paint jobs,
ornate mags, painstakingly detailed decals and astonishing tattoos. The
owners of these automotive masterpieces smiled mischievously from
behind goatees and dark glasses. Then they hopped into their rides,
cranked the tunes (a lowrider’s nothing without massive subwoofers),
and rolled ever so slowly by the honeys.
