News :: Hoppin’ Around L.A.

At the end of June, Ron was invited by his friends at Dayton Wire Wheel and Lowrider Kings Al Lopez (Six-Four Entertainment) and his brother Lonnie Lopez (Blvd. Magazine) to attend their kickoff of The Lowrider Experience 2003 Tour at the L.A. Sports Arena. The party would start the night before when Ron attended the Lennox Lewis vs. Vitali Klitschko World Heavyweight Championship Fight at The Staples Center. Ron had such great seats, even Mr. T was sitting several rows behind him. “T is a riot...the first words he said to me was ‘God is great...God is good’ then he went on a jibba-jabba rampage that was hard to get a word in edge wise...I truly had met my match! I got to talk with him a little before the fight in The Arena Club...then we finished our super-charged conversation in the arena before the fight got underway...he’s very cool and loves the Lord!” The next day began with Ron finally getting to see the finished custom ARMY/Blvd. Magazine H2 Hummer sporting 24” Dayton rims. Ron then got the ultimate honor as friend and President of the legendary ‘Uniques-Orange County’ Lowrider Club, Nasario Bastida presented him with the coveted Uniques gold logo necklace worn by only those in the ‘brotherhood’ making him part of this Unique family. Shortly thereafter the bouncing would begin and the tires would start exploding inside the L.A. Sports Arena...which Ron says is an incredible experience. The trip would end with a visit to the ultimate hot rod builders...So-Cal Speed Shop in Pomono.
