😮
Much respect to Rob from California. You know a Rob-Job when you see it.

Love and respect 60 Minutes.

Love to see my Chicano Culture on 60 minutes. Shout out to the city of Española for being proud of Lowrider culture. God bless Rob on his journey. Congrats on staying clean! Sending nothing but love and respect from Spain 🇪🇸
Awesome in every way.
So glad to see another life changed for the better and paying it forward. JESUS IS THE WAY!
They found the only white man in Española. My friend Tomas Lopez is better
Gangs and drugs disguised as "car culture".
Beautiful!
I love this guys work and I really love his story!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man it's a big lowrider community in Atlanta,GA
I've been in it for 4 years now and I love the vibes
Never could ask another man for a rob job.
God bless you brother
Awesome video
California is the Lowrider capital of the world. If you know you know 🇲🇽✌🏼
Great story, but sorry New Mexico is not the "Lowrider Capitol" of the world. We in So Cal, might have to dispute that.
Seen him in Whittier recently
Wow, that's some good art
His rolling artwork is amazing!!!
God is good. Thank you Rob for being a light in this world. This story definitely touched my heart.
@MiguelRDT I don't need to. I live in California and have been lowriding since the 70s
No disrespect to the lowriding community in New Mexico but please Google "Lowtiding Origins" and search YouTube for "Chico and the man" opening credits which was filmed in East Los Angeles. That's our lowrider community foundation and history. We were the first to hit the switch now they bouncin in Japan, American Somoa, Hawaii, Thailand, Japan, Australia and the UK. You get the picture 💚🤍❤️ 🇲🇽✊🏻✌🏼🥰
Thanks video.
Lowriders Worldwide💪🏽💯
Glad to see you in the light
👏👏👏
Mr. Bill Whitaker, unlike you, not all of us get our cultural knowledge from Music videos.
Amazing
Genuine question, what makes it the self proclaimed Lowrider capital? I'm unaware of the history.
I have family members that paint 🎨 cars and I can tell all those colors and coats shading believe me it’s more work that you think it impressive back then the more lines and designs you had on your car
From the thumbnail I already knew this was about rob. He’s a typical tortured artist. It’s basic psychology. He’s great but Picasso.
3:41 as someone watching from Switzerland, I always dreamt of owning a black lowrider like the one shown here !
Lowriding is a huge part of Chicano culture, that's where it all began.
@derekgarcia3844 I'm well aware of all that you mentioned, but it still doesn't change the foundation. However, it did help grow the culture that started in L.A.

Lowriding is life foo
