Thanks, I did not know that and bet it did. I remember seeing Japanese cars cambered before the 2000s also and I'm sure it existed in American shores back then. But the time/place where it transitioned from mere domestic existence [or foreign fad] and adapted to a full on
American fad specifically known as "hellaflush" complete with Americanized terminology seems to have been in NorCal. In fact, the term "hella" is
Bay Area vernacular used extensively by its residents and hip hop artists E40 and the late Mac Dre since way back.
