Name of Car: HiJa de Lupita



I grew up in the scene because of my brother. I would always ride to meetups in my guy friends’ cars but then they would have girlfriends and would not be able to ride.

In 2019 I graduated college and bought my lowrider so I wouldn't depend on a guy. I'm currently a solo rider. Everything done to my car I've done myself, but its currently a prospect for Still Rollin Car Club. My car is named HiJa de Lupita. My Mom’s favorite words are ‘HiJa de Lupita.’ When she wanted to get information out of me and find out my whereabouts, she would say, “Well, they said they saw La HiJa de Lupita (daughter of Lupita), and wait for my reaction, or when I would do something she didn’t like, “Ay van a decir Mira La HiJa de Lupita!” ( Omg, they’re going to say look at The daughter of Lupita).... Let it be known that La HiJa de Lupita is cruising the streets of HTOWN in her own lowrider, giving her friends more to talk about.

My little brother was the first one to start this project. The reason I chose the Chevrolet Monte Carlo is because of the bodylines. I [always] loved the bodylines. It’s also a 1978 which, was the year I was born.
