I'm not a stock kind of guy per say. I do prefer function or form. Or better yet form and function. That car is slammed and would be undriveable for most people. The only gain from that is the look of a slammed car. To each his own though.

Is it drive-able? And if it is I cant imagine it has much in common with the experience I have in my stock GS. Its hard to believe there is no rubbing and at speed I cant imagine how it handles without knowing whats happened to the suspension, how the frame was cut and re-fitted.

I LOL at these hoopties when something goes wrong and their butt end starts sparking going down the street. Saw this as a cop working in the hood. Don't understand the lure of it, but the nice part is I don't have to. It's not my ride and do what makes you happy. Besides, it helps the economy
