      The like for cars has always been big whether it was to get dream car or to just appreciate there but some people the love for cars has always been there passion ever since they were a little kid and for others there dream to do what they love best. For some people a car is no more than a form of transportation, but for others its a way of art and gives of a representation of where they come from or some look at these cars as a hobby. Lowriders are what there called and they are a thing of beauty when it comes to putting the time and sweat into them when, turning the an old  sometimes rusty classic car into a masterpiece. These Lowriders can be dated as back to the Los Angeles in the late 1940s and they are a thing of beauty, these pieces of art not only take a lot of dedication but sometimes a lot of money when it comes down to adding the right equipment and technology to turn it into a “Lowrider”.

        These vehicles are popular sometime for the murals they have on the hood of a car, these murals sometimes hold a story and tell something about the person, the car club, or the family; these murals a thing of beauty always expressing much of the Hispanic cultural. Sometimes these murals can go off for a lot of money, sometimes doubling the value of the car after it being modified, these murals are often sold in car shows or auctions where big buyers often buy the mural or the whole car itself. These vehicles are somewhat of a passion for people and some make a career out of it starting there own business dedicating themselves to build these kinds of cars for clients. Lowriders are a way of art for people which is why they take long into finishing what they started.
