Any VIP's here?

With the news of the FT possibly being a softy, I just wanted to see if there are any VIP cars here?

I'd love me a 3rd gen Toyota Celsior (LS430) on Weds or Leon Hardiritt's!

I went to a local meet and there were a lot of Infiniti and Lexus sedans all dumped with massive neg camber. I was looking at the lip spoilers and skirts to see any scrapes and road rash but none of them had them.

I was talking to to one of the owners and asked if they drive like that all the time and he said they run this setup called Air-Runners.

I know back in the days when you can ride in the bed of trucks, mini trucks on air bags were the thing! Now it moved to sedans...

True. Most of the VIPers tend to run air, but there are a handful of people that just throw on a set of coils and scrape the reflectors in the road everywhere they go. Crazy stuff.

I know the V dub guys are anti air suspension and those guys slam the sh*t out of their cars.

Funny how all of you yak it up!

I'm a speed junkie, thats why I got into motos (nothing beats being tucked in doing 160 mph down the front straight of Miller Motorsports Park) but when I saw some of these cars, I must admit, a lot of them looked very smooth!

I dunno if I would chop up the chassis of a Lexus and put bags but I would lower it and put 19's on it. Knowing me, I would probably get bored of it and sell it!

Lowering it is one thing but dumping it like those and the massive negative camber just ruin it for me. Looks like utter crap.

Negative camber's not so bad...
