Pv has Passion 11


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.
