    What do you say when some one calls your Kuston a lowrider?

    Nothing. Everyone has a different definition of a lowrider, hot rod, and rat rod. Is it lowered or has air baggs? Maybe it is a lowrider to other people and your confused. You built a custom. Lowriders are a type of custom.

    I would just say, "I wish it were a lowrider, but it's only a custom."

    Webster's definition:


    Definition of LOWRIDER

    : a customized car with a chassis that has been lowered so that it narrowly clears the ground


    So you tell me, would they be wrong?

    I like low riders....they're nice.....
     
  18. I'd just say thanks and smile. My wife thinks every "Kustom" car I like it a little too "ethnic" for a big white boy.....she don't get it and most other non car people don't either.

    Thanks is good. What good will it do to explain it. My ex used to call any hot rod a dune buggy. The more the owners complained the more she would call it a dune buggy.

    First off I am not a computer guy, but a car guy, and a little typo on kuston is not that important. Yes I live in Az.were there a lot of low riders. I had done a few low rider showes. The first one I did, they gave me Best In Show. Thank you for your positive answers. Yes is bagged Kustom Buick

    Why do you care what it's called? I mean really. Honest question. What difference does it make?

  27. First thing I need to know , is the car in question the one in your aviator? If so are we talking cars or planes here? Simple answer is, if it really bothers you just look the person in the eye, smile and tell them "f%%k you".

    Cool! right on. As long as they dont call your hot rod a r.. rod. Then you have the right to bust open a can of whoop ass.
