"Ghetto?"
"Barstow is exotic to her!" - ―Roman Pearce and Tej Parker
Barstow is a small city in the U.S state of California.
History[]
Barstow was the hometown (and possible birth place) of Brian O'Conner and Roman Pearce. When Roman was placed under house arrest for stealing cars, he lived at a trailer home where he wasn't allowed to move beyond a hundred yards. Barstow also housed a derby at the Barstow Speedway which Roman participated in for a short while.
2 Fast 2 Furious[]
When Brian was assigned a partner for his mission to apprehend Carter Verone so his name would be cleared, he chose Roman. Brian and Bilkins then traveled to Barstow where Brian found out that Roman was now a demolition derby driver and under house arrest. Upon meeting him, Brian and Rome began to fight as the latter wanted to acknowledge him as his friend. The two continued fighting until Bilkins made Roman a similar deal to what Brian was offered.
