Slab-riders competed with each other to see whose system could bang the loudest.

It isn’t a slab unless there isn’t a speaker system residing in the back that could rattle the streets and knock picture frames off nearby walls. Swanging is when the slab-riders drive as slow as possible, alternating lanes while moving in a half-clockwise motion, making sure all bystanders get a full view and hear every sound banging out of the pimped-out car.īanging is the boisterous sounds booming from the slab trunks. Traffic on MLK Boulevard is moving at school zone speed as the drivers show off their slabs, swanging up the block with meticulous speed. Any old-school car can be transformed into a slab, but the best slabs usually are classic Cadillacs, Chevy Impala’s, and Oldsmobiles.

Slabs are tricked-out old-school cars with candy paint, leather seats known as “buck”, woodgrain steering wheels, poked-out rims called swangas, trunks that pop open at the flick of a switch to broadcast neighborhoods and phrases in neon lights, with a fifth-wheel on back and chrome grill and woman-replica emblem on the front. Hundreds of slabs are swanging and banging down the boulevard in the South Park neighborhood. It’s 7 o’clock in the evening on Slab Sunday on Martin Luther King Boulevard on the south side of Houston, Texas, two years before the turn of the century.
