| Check into EVERY car trend, of every generation, and you will find Corvette.
But, who knew that Corvette led the �lowrider� hydraulics trend.
Thanks to Speedhunters.com, we get the story of X-Sonic and Ron Aguirre, an original Corvette badboy if they�re ever was one, back in the James Dean years. Lowrider hydraulics came about to beat the cops. Definitely read the SH story to enjoy how Ron tells it -
* "I left the car down and started to drive out, the side pipes scraping the pavement [It was way cool to have your car dragging on the pavement].�
* "Well, knowing Sandy [the cop] was across the street waiting to give me a ticket in front of all my friends and teach them that this punk was not going to get away with breaking the law, again."
* "I pulled out onto the street and watched Sandy start his bike. I told my buddy to start pumping [the manual hydraulics]. I didn't get 20ft before Sandy had his red lights on me. I got out of the car, with everyone from the drive-in standing on the sidewalk, and greeted Sandy - 'Hi, what seems to be the problem?'"
* "He stated, 'You know your car's too low'. But, I said, �It isn't too low any more, I took your advise and raised it to legal height�."
* �He smiled at me and took his ticket book [Back then, cops checked cars by passing their book under your car] and he slid it under MY car without hitting anything.�
* �Boy, was his face red, with all my friends yelling and screaming. He didn't say a word, he gave me a confused look, got on his bike, and left. Oh, revenge was so sweet....."
