Well, as for the terms "lowered" and "raked" they are alive an well within the group of youngsters doing all the body works to their imports all over the US (and a lot of other parts of the world). Imagine the folks that lowered and raked their cars in the past seeing the modern lowered and raked cars... what would they think! Specially with the big wing on the back!
