 MTV’s “Pimp My Ride,” has nothing on the cultural and creative complexity of a lowrider’s history. MTV does it for ratings, but your average Jose or Jerome hook up their cars because it’s natural, because it’s artistic, because they can represent themselves with pride. Actually, that’s what encouraged visual artist, Vincent Valdez to create the exhibition, “La Vida Lowrider: Cruising the City of Angels”, hosted by the Peterson Automotive Museum.
Visitors will get to look at the history of the lowriders starting from the “bombs”-- (American-cars dating back to the late 1930s to the early 1950s) -- to the “Euros” (imported cars such as Honda and Acura)--to the advancement of how far “tricking” out a car has become in Los Angeles. Where: The Peterson Automotive Museum
6060 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90036
(323)930-2277 or visit: www.petersen.org When: Now showing until Sunday June 8. From 10am- 6pm Price: General Admission: $10, Students: $5 |

| Hi, my name is Rafael Alejandro Acero Hernandez, and I'm an alcoholic. I don't drink beer. I'm addicted to chocolate. I'm a bit bipolar and every once in a while obsessive/ compulsive. I have a really short attention span. I don't believe in labels, I'm not defined by what I do or by who I do- for that matter. I'm a writer, an actor, a dancer, BUT nothing is better than being a professional a$$hole. Soy un chilango incomprendido, y como tal- valemadrista a morir. | |
