In countries where the regulation of car tuning is handled quite loosely, there are always crazy style trends that express local tastes, culture, and are simply incomprehensible to the average car.
For Japan, there’s the bosuzuku, which is equal to extreme cars torn from the pages of comics, huge negative wheel tilt, exhausts reminiscent of a periscope staring into the sky, wild colors.
And as for the Bosozuku in Japan, the Donk, the lowrider, the Hotrod in America, and when we think the overall picture couldn’t be weirder, we stumble upon the Texas style. Because yes, there is car building typical of the state of Texas, which is prevalent mainly in local African American communities.
This is Slab, which is one of the lowrider’s side shoots, and an abbreviation for Slow, Low and Bangin ’ (Slowly, planted on the ground, out loud (this word has other meanings, and it’s not ruled out that the creators meant it)). an awfully protruding spoked rim that reminds us of ancient chariots.These evoke the types often seen on American luxury cars in the eighties and are already available in all sizes in the 15-20 inch range.
The price of extreme pieces is also peppered, depending on the export, it ranges from 1500 to 2500 dollars (500-800 thousand forints).
Where does it come from? So much so that Houston, Texas is the center, there is no exact date. The seventies, perhaps, but in the eighties, became more common, according to an article by Bussiness Insider. It was then that the dealers who plummeted out of the drug dealers with the branching rims sent a message to the competition about how well the business was going for them. Like an expensive watch or gold necklace, only it can be seen from afar.
In the 1990s, however, the style stepped out of the gangster circle and became part of the mainstream with hip-hop music, and is now admired by strange audiences at spectacular car meetings.
Mostly American-made large-scale sedans are being rebuilt, to this day the eighties Cadillac, Lincoln Buick, Oldsmobile models are the most popular. In addition to the armrest wheel, an audio system with brutal volume is mandatory, the soul of which is located in the boot. Here, when the door is opened, it usually reveals an inscription surrounded by wonderful LED lights, which also communicates the owner's creed and motto to the audience.
