Sommario/riassunto: Bass booms from custom speakers, pick-up trucks boast lowered suspensions, chrome rims reflect stoplights, and bare arms dangle from open windows.

On the surrounding, less-traveled streets you can also find young men racing customized cars to see who has the ""go,"" not just the ""show."" And, in the daylight hours, in a nearby suburb, you might find a brand new SUV parked in the driveway, a parents' Sweet 16 present. In Fast Cars, Cool Rides Amy Best
