I remember those days.....my group of friends were all into modding cars and whatnot, amongst a lot of others in the area also....hang out in parking lots and stuff....get harassed by the police....for some time there was actually a special taskforce called the "lowrider patrol" whose sole purpose was to find and issue citations to illegally modified vehicles.....pretty lame! I kinda grew out of it, and now I drive my dad-mobile SUV!
