Cooper Poe and Owen Spain have let their love of cars become a way to solidify them and their friends as a group. They identified both as “Zoomerz” and “Rowdy Boys” with merchandise and a couple of tattoos to prove it. Now that the group is out of high school, the togetherness has been broken but their love of cars has stayed the same. The cars range from new to old, but the group has a special place in their heart for 90’s cars, and the lower they ride the better.
