Should have asked them when AN was going to come out with some better cloning bearings, or titanium mufflers for hydro growers.
U can tell who is in the hobby and who is there for the $$$$$$$$$
I used to cruise on Broadway...through to OLD SacramentoJust out of curiosity, who else grew up in a town with a "strip" where the kids, gearheads & hot chicks would congregate on Fridays & Saturday nights?
We called it "cruising the strip", or "you gonna cruise the strip this weekend?"
Ours was a circular strip.
Benson Blvd & Northern Lights Blvd are two 4-lane roads (one way roads) that paralleled each other and were separated by strip malls & other small businesses & restaurants.
It was about 1-mile in each direction with lots of drag race inspiring traffic lights on each side of the strip.
Every Friday night & Saturday night on The Strip was like a scene out of American Graffiti.
Thousands of cruisers.
Damn, we had fun back then.
Yep broadway and sunrise when it use to be drag city and people all over that was days ago tho....I lived on 56 th st and elder creek at a hotel for 6 months when got kicked out our apartment that place was ghetto there were literally 10 year old black kids sellin crack ended up smokin bud with one of the kids dads and it was weird watching a child weigh out sacks of weed and crack
I stayed at the 8 motel or whatever it was and there was a murder there while I was there.
Then the cops shut it downJust out of curiosity, who else grew up in a town with a "strip" where the kids, gearheads & hot chicks would congregate on Fridays & Saturday nights?

Haha you were a Lowrider? I cruised mostly the Jst-Lst cruise, but we would always hit Broadway or Franklin and Tease the Lowriders with our Hot Rods and Heavy Metal Blasting. Hehe just good old fun.
Then off to El Centro Rd for the real racing. Good times for sure.
My air bags didnt have a pump lol.Happy Birthday Jig!!!
Then the cops shut it down

I started with a '68 Chevy 3/4ton truck with a built 327 (350hp) & 6.70:1 rear gears (topped out at about 100mph, but would do 0-60 in about 5 seconds from a standing stop at idle, and about 4 seconds when you pre-loaded the drivetrain at about 3k rpm before launch), then a Toyota SR4 truck, then a Kawasaki GPz550, and my last years of cruising was with a Kawasaki Ninja 600r.
Started with a 71 Opel Kadet with Duel Webbers and 1000 watt stereo. Then a 71 Nova 396ho, 1150 dp, turbo 400 dropped 3 inches in the front. I could burn through tires in a week. Gas was .67 a gallon.
or this. lol
I had an 89 Mustang GT built that would eat tires, and I ended up just buying throw aways for it cuz new was too expensive
I remember the lowrider dudes with there screaming tweeters and no bass since the trunk was all pumps and batts
