Vida Guerra, host of Livin’ the Low Life (Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET): Cuban-Born model/actress Vida Guerra skyrocketed to fame in 2004 as the FHM magazine model of the year and has since appeared in music videos with P. Diddy and Nelly, in addition to parts in national TV commercials and movies. She maintains a thriving Magazine modeling career, as well as an Internet business that logs millions of visitors each year.
Born into poverty in Cuba, Guerra escaped with her family to the United States as a young girl and lived in New Jersey until a couple of years ago.
“When I was growing up, we didn’t have money or many material possessions, but the one thing my parents taught me was the importance of family,” Guerra said. “The lowrider culture definitely gets that. I think some people view the lowrider culture as somewhat of a lower class. But I think it’s a good way for these people to show their passion and I hope it can inspire others to do the same.”
Throughout Mexican-American communities from Los Angeles to Texas, cruisers have been dropping Chevys to a sidewalk-scraping stance since the late 1930s. By the late ‘70s, Los Angeles and other cities in the Southwest had combined the cars with lifestyle and fashion, and the lowrider scene was Born. Livin’ the Low Life, which premiered in February, delves deeper into the world of lowriders than any media before it, building the lowrider into a weekly addiction for anyone who’s wild about super cars and stylish vehicles
