Pv has Passion 10

This post is in regards to my interview. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get an interview because I could never catch my dad to interview him. I would of liked to get his points on it because this culture has been a part of his life since he was younger and he was also building cars during the time when Lowriders were at their height in Arizona. I also would like to get his view on how things have changed in the community as well as the relations with local law enforcement. The views that have changed the most is the way Lowriders do things, I've noticed that its no longer about just having a car to who has more and more. Its sad that things are changing so much that you cant go to the park and enjoy small shows because theirs always a person who comes and makes it a bigger deal then it is. People have lost the joy for the sport and only do it for the popularity.


I would have mainly directed my questions how things have changed over the past 20 to 30 years. I always would like to show how he started and what things influenced him many years ago to this day. I know he constantly still works on cars that's why its so hard to catch him because he's always working. I would still like to get his views on this project overall.

My final post comes to show how far I've come overall. As a whole I think I've reached my goal mainly, my main problem is the 3-D printer has not been working so I may not be able to get all my parts in and printed. My plan will still continue the same to have as many parts as possible to show what I've built as well as my community. Although one thing I've noticed is the Lowrider community has grown over this year by its self. With the rise of social media and people starting to break free from cultural barriers we see the rise in multiple unrecognized ethnic groups and communities.


My view and knowledge about the cultural importance as well as the idea of Lowriders has not changed since I've begun this project it has only developed more. People don't recognize how much a car can really do for a person, its more then just something to get you from point a to b. For some its a further extension of themselves, its a way to get away from daily struggles, its a family bond you build with people who have the same passion you do. they may be cars, but it can help you through so much more in life, it can be your motivation to work harder or even the family crest you pass down each year as a symbol of what your heritage represents. We may look like gang members, but in reality we are just trying to show our works of art, ours just happens to be a rolling canvas.


Lowriders may not end the wars or bring racism to an end, but it can be a sign in communities that we are continuing a passion that we will pass down generation after generation. This should be something people are proud to support, even local police departments are starting to give more lenience toward people just trying to keep people out of trouble by surrounding themselves with a  growing community of a never ending passion.
