That's the refrain among most of the cruisers who are just doing what their parents did before them. Car enthusiasts feel singled out and see their good time ruined by a few, said Dick DeLoach, senior technical editor of the Lowrider Publishing Group. The Valley is home to some of the original lowriders and cruisers and the Foothill area is the last of the open stretches. Much of the problem has been congestion, and the city cracked down with an ordinance on the books and roadblocks set up on weekends on streets such as Laurel Canyon Boulevard to limit the activity. The idea behind the police task force did little to make the cruisers happy.
Police think so.
