The 2007 Lowrider Tour is an annual art exhibit on wheels sponsored by Lowrider magazine. Hundreds of gleaming, tricked-out cars - some barely inches off the ground but with a lift system to change the height at will - as well as trucks and motorcycles will be primped for onlookers at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa on Sunday.

There will also be shows by rapper Fat Joe and DJ Laz, a top Latin hip-hop master out of Miami. It runs 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and tickets are $30 at the door, with kids younger than 10 free. (714) 939-2441 or www.lowridermagazine.com.
