Well keep on keepin' on then, you're the one who decided pink + rainbows = homosexual = insult. Not terribly open is all I meant.

As for the "impractical" comment I guess that offends you, seeing as you don't identify with that either, which I never meant to imply.

All I meant is that modifying cars is polarizing, so is painting something a color that pleases you, so is maintaining a car in a glass box to OEM specs, so is beating it until it literally falls to pieces. To expect unanimous approval is silly, someone will hate everything you do no matter what, better start building a bridge.

Your response leads me to believe that you aren't actually reading what I'm writing... Go on about your business.

Nothing like having a hard-parked sports car.

Yup, that can't affect others unless others let it bother them, whereas, improperly setup suspensions can affect others where others have no control over it. That's the key difference.

my impression of this extreme camber is like people sagging pants. people can wear their pants however they want, up high or down low, with or without a belt. some people even find the need to wear a belt when they're sagged to right above their knees. some people find it cool or fashionable, many more find it silly. does it impair them from walking? no. but running fast might be a challenge altogether.

Seems like a lot of the argument here is that this person wouldn't be able to get out of the way of danger or may cause harm to his or her self because of sagging. Like okay we get it lol

Their car their problem. Including the many thousands of dollars worth of damage in store for them from bad roads.

Gay? Really? Are you 12?

I have no love for the slammed look. I want my car to look sexy and fast, and there's nothing that even gets a tick out of me with those crazy wheels.

At the end of the day, none of any of your opinions are worth a shit, because my **** is bigger.

I don't know you personally, and this is not an attack directed at you, but seeing as you car "fits" the model of "stance and hellaflush" the impracticality come when driving down a 35mph+ road and slowing down to 5mph just to go over train tracks or small bumps.. Maybe is doesn't affect you, but I have seen accidents from it, near accidents from it and seen people take up two lanes just to barley creep across a set of tracks I barley felt when driving at normal speeds.. That to me is impractical..


Btw I like how the car looks, but not so much with the huge negative camber tho.. Funny all the cars shown drifting and racing that are hella low.. Still don't have all that ridicules amounts of camber..
