Ok, I think I need to say something here. I am Spanish (from Spain) and Cherokee. FYI, Mexican spanish is considered slang and Spain spanish (Castilian) as proper. Think along the lines of ebonics and the clipped British upper-crust accent. There is that much of a difference in Mexican vs Spain spanish just for starters alone. Please consider that everyone has their own personal taste and what they think is cool. Most of it does have to do with their culture and what is considered cool in that culture. Everyone stereotypes styles of cars, be it ricer, lowrider, red neck, etc. I understand his point but you also have to understand that others will be offended at his unintended racisim. Everyone is racisit to one degree or another whether you will admit to it or not. I stated unintended because of what he wrote in his posts and that he was just saying that he just noticed a certain "style" of car he didn't like. I understand that you're upset and when I read the post, I didn't like it either. After reading and understanding he was writing about cars and NOT people then I was "okay" with it. I don't agree with his personal taste but that's HIS personal taste. I've been envolved with the lowrider scene for years and I also like ALL types of customizing from lowriders to hot rods to 4x4's, you name it. But then again, that's MY personal taste.
