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. The name of the gang was originally a play on words as the gang fought enemy Hispanic Lowrider gangs and overcame 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 from the 1920s to the 1960s. Nazi Lowriders formed their own Prison Gang in Southern California in the late 1970s and they later formed a small alliance with a few Aryan Brotherhood members of Southern California. The Nazi Lowrider Car Club and the Nazi Lowrider Prison Gang are the same thing and these entities were not founded by John Stinson or by the Aryan Brotherhood. The Nazi Lowriders were formed as a White-Hispanic Car Club of Southern California in the late 1960s.

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 Cripps which is a word that is usually shortened to Crips and is a gang that is primarily based in Southern California as well as their counterpart gangs that are known as the Bloods all throughout the 1970s and the 1980s and later the Cripp owned Car Club collectively known as the Druids Car Club all throughout the 1990s. Many of the original Cripps were part Hispanic and or mixed with Hispanic and African heritage whereas the members of the Nazi Lowriders were more racially pure, hence the phrase: Nazi Lowrider. The Cripps later formed more alliances with the Latin-American community. The word 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. Chicanos and Chicanas are a completely different Hispanic group.

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 and Nazi Lowrider lowriders that were seen between the 1980s and the 1990s were extremely unique.

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.

Nazi Lowriders are known to have gone to war with the Cripps of Kern County and of Los Angeles County throughout the 1980s. The son of the founder of the Nazi Lowrider Car Club was taken away by Officers of the Los Angeles Police Department as a baby in Downtown Los Angeles, Southern California in ~1988 after Cripps gang members fired several rounds into his father's lowrider vehicle in Downtown Los Angeles, Southern California. Gunfire was returned by the Nazi Lowriders and law enforcement and the local news station responded to the incident.

Nazi Lowriders Versus Sinaloa Cartel

Nazi Lowriders are known to have been in several shootouts with the Sinaloa Cartel in and around the city of South Gate in Los Angeles County, Southern California throughout the 1980s and the 1990s where news stations have responded to these incidents.

Nazi Lowriders Versus Norteños

Nazi Lowriders were known to have battled Norteños in Kern County, Southern California where news stations have responded to these incidents.

Nazi Lowriders Versus Tijuana Mexican Cartel

Nazi Lowriders were allied with the Sureños of Kern County in Southern California when they battled the Tijuana Mexican Cartel in the late 1990s.

Spark of The Wars Between The Nazi Lowriders and The Tijuana Mexican Cartel

The son of one of the founders of the Nazi Lowrider Car Club was drugged and molested repeatedly by a Non-Black Hispanic female member of the Crips who also had membership in the Tijuana Mexican Cartel and who targeted the Nazi Lowriders in 1997. This started a war between the Nazi Lowriders and the Tijuana Cartel where that son was later ordered to stab a Tijuana Cartel Plaza Boss who lived on the border of San Diego, Southern California and Tijuana, México and who facilitated drugs and humans across the border of México and into the United States. The Nazi Lowriders traveled to San Diego, Southern California and confronted that Tijuana Mexican Cartel Plaza Boss and the child that was molested stabbed that Tijuana Cartel Plaza Boss. This small war between the Nazi Lowriders and the Tijuana Cartel ended in a truce in ~ 2002. The son of one of the founders of the Nazi Lowrider Car Club was taken away from his family and placed in Child Protective Custody.

Nazi Lowriders Versus U.S. Marines

In 2005 the U.S. Marines attempted a covert infiltration of the Nazi Lowrider Car Club by using the identity of the son of one of the founders of the Nazi Lowrider Car Club.

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.
