A lowrider is a car or truck which has had its suspension system modified (sometimes with hydraulic suspension) so that it rides as low to the ground as possible. Lowriders often have user controlled height adjustable suspension. Lowriders are very often classic cars from the 1950s which rode low to begin with, although large numbers of 1940s and 1960s cars are also modified, and to a lesser degree newer vehicles. The word is also used to refer to those who drive or own such cars. A lowrider will traditionally have as many factory offered accessories / options as possible and often many after-market accessories added. A lowrider's internal parts are likely to take damage from any form of an obstruction or imperfection in the road surface. The reverse automobile trait is people who drive raised trucks, expressing the ability to ignore such problems no matter how damaged the road is or whether they are on the road or not. Who inveted the lowrider?
