Mexicans.....

nonovurbizniz, you rock ass. yea, I dont have a drop of Hispanic in me but I still get mad when people call latinos 'Mexicans' as a blanket statement. I live near DC, and NOBODY hispanic from around here is mexican. Theyre mostly from central america, and are very nice, hardworking people.
I must admit, here in Prince George's County, where I live to go to college, there are a whole hell of a lot of hispanic males driving around in total POS's with hilarious mods I cant help but point out to my passengers....I mean, we're talkin early 90's sentras with GIANT yellow APC banners on the rear glass, seemingly random-colored pinstriping all over the place, and those $15 plastic shiny faux-chrome hubcap covers from Pep Boys. Which is too bad, because when I go to california, where I'm originally from, I always see reallly well done, custom rides - in a 'hispanic' style, which I honestly think looks silly, but I know those guys have poured their heart, soul, and a lot of $$$ into those lowriders, which I totally respect. Granted, most hispanics in PG county are relatively low-income, however, and do not have the resources available to mod their rides more 'tastefully'. And also, yeah I completely acknowledge that there are a ton of hispanic tuners that do things the 'traditional' way, that is to say, as most of us like to mod our cars. Anyhow, I guess I'm just ranting but what I want to say is that I think its fine that people are trying to get their cars to stand out in some way and look cool to members of their own crowd....
