14. Low Riders

Although Low Riders are now common show cars, back in the day, they were the favorite transport of gangsters. With bouncy hydraulics, mural-style paint jobs, shiny rims, and gold-plated bumpers, low riders were a statement of the owner’s status and character.

Of course, driving a low rider and being a gang leader is only possible in your hood or in some of L.A.’s close-knit communities. The police will easily spot you if you set foot outside of South Central LA.
