Low rider

A low rider is a car or truck which has had its suspension system modified so that it rides as low to the ground as possible. Low riders are very often classic cars from the 1950s which rode low to begin with.

Low rider enthusiasts often outfit the cars with fancy paint jobs, neon lighting on the interior, fuzzy dashboards and ceilings, laid back seating, chain steering wheels, tinted windows, extra long rear view mirrors, and many other style enhancing accoutrements. Many modern low riders also feature stereo systems that produce extremely loud bass.

Low riders were originally a facet unique to cholo culture, but have since become common to urban youth culture in general. This culture was celebrated in the 1975 song "Low Rider" by the funk group War
