I'm talking safety more than function. And certainly not hate. Suggestion: Try using punctuation when you make your arguments.

I feel like we're on different frequencies or I'm talking a foreign language that can't be understood. I'll write this one off as me being too old to communicate with you guys. Hopefully wisdom eventually hits you without you literally getting hit or hitting something. You'll get it eventually. It's been real... stay safe!

How old are you exactly? Not asking to be a douche or anything. Just wonder

Stretched tires are unsafe, to an extent and if the OP does live in NYC like he says i'm sure he knows a few people in the stance scene who has blown a few here and there, and for some reasons it always in Queens right before they merge onto Grand Central...


As long as your running winters during well...winters then i'm sure he'll be fine.

If you are arguing saying you could be burnt on slic's exhaust then good, if you can't see that chrome piece sticking out of the car you deserved to be burnt.

What if the person is blind, trips/burns over the exhaust, falls and then breaks his hip?

if thats the case, then my car wouldnt be the safety issue, but the blind person walking around aimlessly would be a huge safety issue to everyone around

Now people are saying who ever gets burned deserves it? That's circularly arguing points that I already killed in earlier posts.

It's pointless to argue based on speculation. Only way to know for sure is to inspect the installation. Calling out the hazard on your pipe, however, isn't even based on speculation. lol

He said right there that the car rarely leaves the driveway. That is either because he cannot drive it or chooses not to drive it anymore. As long as it stays hard parked it will not hurt anyone so why the drama?

Because the hundreds of kids who try to copy might not do the same. I'm not attacking Vic directly; I'm sharing my opinions/facts more for the community than for Vic. To provide another angle that people might not be seeing (sadly confused as hate).

I knew a guy back in the day who blew out a tire crossing railroad tracks. Running 16's back before stretch was even a thought. It can happen to any wheel/tire set up.
