Carrucha
Chicano caló for car or personal ride. The carrucha is your daily driver, the one that takes you to work and around the neighborhood. In classic Chicano culture it carries real identity: customized, painted, lowered, with music turned up. The lowrider is a carrucha taken to its full glory.
