Even if you don't mind the silly wheels (or lack thereof) and other questionable choices, I draw the line at Lambo doors on a gold+chrome'd out El Camino. If that isn't ricey sacrilege, I dunno what is. XD

Low riders aren't really rice. They're a different genre of car altogether.

I guess I'm just missing the point. I kinda thought lambo doors were equal-opportunity mock material, excluding actual Lamborghinis that came with 'em OEM. I'll happily drop it and stand corrected, anyway, I'm just trying to kill some time on another boring Saturday too damned cold and snowy to accomplish anything useful on my beater.

Oh I know, I noticed what you were doing haha. That wasn't aimed at you. Just making the comment in general.

While I'm not crazy about that lowrider, I do like them. I was all about lowriders when I was in high school. I'd still love to build a 63 Impala convertible, with 13" Daytons and hydraulics, but it will probably never happen.

As for the jack stand question, I would imagine it's to show off the wheel wells. Usually NO part of a lowrider is left untouched, one that is a trailer queen anyway. And I'd actually be surprised if the jack stands weren't chromed too haha.

http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/cto/2461727093.html

1979 Mazda RX7. Rotory engine, standard trans, custom paint but is faded in spots and wire wheels. This car has been sitting for several years. Tried to start it last year and it would run but the carb needs cleaning and the ignition switch wont stay on, it kicks back and shuts off engine. The wire wheels have some rust on the spokes. The car has custom seats with a velvety kind of interior lowrider style. Like I said car has been sitting and the interior is kind of dirty and some of the white material is yellowing. This car belongs to a friend of mine and he has misplaced the title, but the car is in his name and he will be going one day this week to get a copy of the title. So the car will come with a clear title. Asking $1200 but open to cash offers. No trades. Please call 210-232-7785

It looks more like it could use a good overall fire. LOL It can be fixed, but it would take a lot of work replacing that whole interior to something not vomit-inducing. It does look comfy though.

A unicorn would be cool but I would much rather go for a pegasus.
