Default I don't understand this one.

I guess who cares what gets ruined and messed up as long as it looks a certain way.
MAKE SURE TO TURN THE SOUND UP.

Serious, I thought they had an air system to lift em, but evidently not. So how many of them become Flintstone cars after a few months of dragging and wearing the underside out? I am suprized that these are allowed on the road, some cann't turn the front wheels else the tires go into the fenders.
I can't believe they hate their cars so much to do this to them. I don't want damage to the under side any more than I would on the part you see.
When looking at a car to purchase I spend as much time studying the belly as I do the paint job. All I can say is just Wow!

Thanks for that video an eye opener.

So after all the money spent on paint body work rims and tires. These folks ride around all day tearing their cars up.
What's the point of this????

No one understands that - except people who do it.

It's like modern feminism...completely useless and should disappear from the face of the earth.

Because flushing your money down the toilet just isn't as fun.

You know i can understand alot of the "questionable" automotive modifications. Like the lowriders with hydraulics. Even though alot of people find it repulsive, one has to admit that quite a bit of work goes into those, and they can be pretty impressive considering that they even go through the trouble of painting the frame rails under the car to match the body...

But stuff like this that practically just destroys the drivability of the car.... I don't know...

Did they purposely chose that incline in the second vid to see who can scrape the most?

I thought a ton of camber and being slammed was widely popular amongst most lexus/infiniti enthusiasts. Especially most people on this board.

Depends which side of the fence one is on, can be a win or fail. For the region that is the "in" thing. A YMMV situation. Will close the thread before it becomes a bashing discussion.
