I think a low rider has to be long, low and slow, with a quiet burble and a whole lotta longitudinal attitude. An Accord or Camry just won't cut it.

We already do on Accords (not so much Camrys). It's not unheard of to see a '92 or '97 Accord with drop springs, new wheels, and a body kit riding around on the bumpstops. It is far more common on Civics and Integras, though.

Around here I think unmodified 90-93 Accords are rarer than messed with ones.

Yeah but they call those "slammed", not low riders---at least not in San Jose!

Im an old car fenatic! I love anything pre 1980. Im not sure what you mean by lowrider. Personally I consider a lowrider anything big/low/baged/hydros/bigrims/even some just custom cars. You dont see people going around terring up cars that are ss's or cars with original hard to find parts like # matching cars with big blocks, 4spds etc. But now in this generation customizing is BIG. Customizing your car is like showing who you are and your classic shows what kind of a person owns it. As long as someones enjoying it instead of it sitting there rusting away too nothing im happy
