The Nazi Lowriders are a criminal syndicate and a Lowrider Car Club that are based in Southern California and are active in Southern California. Nazi Lowriders are also known collectively as The NLR and are also collectively known as The Ride of Nazi Lowriders.
Origins
Nazi Lowriders were formed in Kern County, Southern California and in Los Angeles County, Southern California in the late 1960s as a gang of members who owned Chevy Lowrider vehicles with origins in the Southern California Lowrider Car Culture Community. They were first seen by authorities on the border of East Los Angeles, Southern California and in Kern County, Southern California. The name of the gang was originally a play on words as the gang fought their enemy Hispanic Lowrider Gangs and overcame their rival Hispanic Lowrider Gangs in Southern California. Non-Hispanic White street gangs did not actually exist in Southern California during the arrival of Non-Hispanic Whites into Southern California and the waves of immigration of Non-Hispanic Whites into Southern California from the 1920s to the 1960s. Nazi Lowriders formed their own Prison Gang in Southern California in the late 1970s as they were incarcerated for street crimes and they later formed a small alliance with the original members of the Aryan Brotherhood of Southern California. The Nazi Lowrider Car Club and the Nazi Lowrider Prison Gang are the same and these entities were not founded by John Stinson or by the Aryan Brotherhood and in fact the Nazi Lowriders existed in Southern California before the founding of the Aryan Brotherhood. The Nazi Lowriders were later formed as a White-Hispanic Car Club of Southern California in the late 1960s and the 1970s.
Collected media and video footage in Southern California namely from Lowrider Magazine of Southern California as well as from video news reports from Video News Reporting Agencies in Los Angeles, Southern California show the Nazi Lowriders in street races near Boyle Heights in Los Angeles, Southern California in the early 1990s and in Lowrider Car Shows in Central Los Angeles, Southern California and near West Los Angeles, Southern California in the mid 1990s to the mid 2000s.
History and Origins In The Southern California Hispanic Lowrider Car Culture
The phrase: Nazi Lowrider is a phrase that was coined by the founder of this Car Club as members went to war with their enemy gangs known as the Cripps which is a word that is usually shortened to the word Crips and is a gang that was and is exclusively based in Southern California. The Nazi Lowriders also went to war with the Cripp counterpart gangs that are known as the Bloods all throughout the 1980s in Southern California and later they went to war with the Cripp owned Car Club collectively known as the Druid Car Club all throughout the 1990s and the early to mid 2000s. Many of the original Cripp gang members were part Hispanic and or mixed with Hispanic and African heritage whereas the members of the Nazi Lowriders were more racially pure than all others out of all of the Lowrider Car Clubs in Southern California, hence the phrase: Nazi Lowrider.
The Cripps later formed more alliances with the Latin-American community in Southern California whereas the Nazi Lowriders formed more alliances with the existing Non-Hispanic White communities in Southern California and the existing White-Hispanic communities in Southern California.
The words Latino and Latina refer to people with Latin-American heritage. Latin-American countries are all of the countries that are south of the country of México. While Mexicans can be considered Hispanic because they speak a dialect of the language of Spanish not all Mexican Citizens or Mexican Nationals have origins from the country of México and many Mexicans have both American Indigenous and Spanish ( From Spain ) heritage whereas Californianos and Californianas which are technically multi-generational Californians are people that descend from the era of Spanish California.

Unique Contributions To The Lowrider Car Culture of Southern California
Nazi Lowriders contributed significant advancements to the Lowrider Car Culture of Southern California most notably the extended hydraulic suspension engineering schemes where some of their lowrider cars could extend up to 25 feet or more into the air where members could jump through second-story hotel and motel windows to fight enemies as well as to collect money and Nazi Lowrider' Lowriders that were seen between the 1980s and the 1990s were extremely unique. They also wrote advanced custom software from the late 1990s to the mid 2000s that ran from any Internet web browser including from low budget mobile cell phone devices where any of the members could send messages to any other member to get picked up anywhere by G.P.S. Location, send orders, make VoIP phone calls and more.
Banishment of Lowrider Vehicles
In the 1990s and the 2000s in Kern County as well as in different cities in Los Angeles County officials banned Lowrider Racing Vehicles with hydraulics because the lowrider gangs could easily beat all of the Law Enforcement and the Military everywhere in California by using those engineered lowrider vehicles. Law Enforcement could not keep up with the speed of the vehicles and no one could hide from the manuverability of those vehicles. Nazi Lowriders were known to have exteneded suspension hydraulics that could not be mimicked by other lowrider gangs where the entire vehicle could be raised sometimes up to 30 feet in the air and shield from enemy gun fire.
Membership Requirements
The original Nazi Lowriders required members to prove specific and rare Hispanic ancestral heritage, but no Latin American heritage and no Negroid heritage. People with any Latin-American heritage were not allowed membership in the Nazi Lowrider Car Club or the Nazi Lowrider Prison Gang. Nazi Lowriders also required members to own a specific Chevy Vehicle with or without hydraulics. Lowrider Chevy vehicles were required in order to beat all of the street-level gangs without vehicles as well as beat all of the rival Lowrider gangs. Members were also required to own a hand-gun so that member could engage in drive by shootings on their enemies from the lowrider vehicle. Hydraulics were later necessary in order to beat all of the enemies that hid in motels and hotels in Southern California as well as to tactically defend against gun fire from enemy gangs. Chevy vehicles that were manufactured between the 1960s to the late 1970s had extremely tough and high quality metals where .22 caliber and .40 caliber rounds could not penetrate through the metals.
