So CJ and I thought it would be good to review ten of our favorites. CJ and I both weigh in on why we liked them so much. Enjoy!

Full Story @ Lowrider Lifestyle Part 2 – Hanging Out on Whittier Blvd

Whittier Blvd Lowrider Lifestyle - Hanging Out


John: Growing up near San Jose, I was aware of Lowrider culture. I always thought their cars and culture were distinctive and cool. It was a scene completely different from the hot rods, muscle cars, and dragsters I was used to. I even remember sometime in the 1970s one of our local TV stations did a half-hour segment on Lowriding and the longstanding Latino community that surrounds the scene. I was 10 at the time. Yes, it left an impression! Mike’s brilliant photo essay here captures the LA Lowrider scene at its epicenter – Whittier Blvd in So-Cal as well as Elysian Park.

CJ: The color and style of Lowriders and the men and women behind them has always interested me. Mike Harrington, one of the best photographers on the planet, captured the cars and the culture here as only he can. When we started Fuel Curve, we asked ourselves “What is going to differentiate our site from the thousands of other automotive websites out there?” The answer was an artful mix of lifestyle and people in addition to showing sheet metal. Photo essay’s we called them. That game plan played out brilliantly in this article. You get to see the passion and pride behind their automotive art. The photos tell the whole story of the scene.
