      It was always explained to me as driving well under the speed limit with loud music and flashy car mods like numatics, hydraulics, and lights.

      In my small town we had two drive in restaurants (Sonic and a local joint), people would drive from the one on the South side of town to the one on the North side. We would stop at one or the other for a short time and look for friends or to try and plan a party somewhere.

          It was mostly a Latino or Black thing, depending on the area. Sometimes associated with gang activity.

          It was fairly easy to outlaw and then selectively enforce. It’s basically a law that allows cops to bother people.

          The practice has been replaced with sideshows.
