Street Cred and looking cool

[mit_peid]

<rant> I see tons of cars on the street, and especially here in LA, that are slammed with giant wheels straight reppin' and reminding people that the hella flush culture is still alive and well. Their giant wangs, extreme negative camber (especially when done on our twins) is kind of embarrassing. I mean to each their own and all that stuff, and I guess we all express ourselves through the cars we drive differently but damn that shiet ugly, esp when compared to some nicely modded European cars (BMW, MB, Audi) that have their wheels perfectly flush (not hella flush). I know I sound like an old fart and realize it is already too late because this platform is already this generation's Honda Civic. For the ongoing plus-sizing and stretch tire movement, can we turn it back down a notch and just get wheel and tire sizing combo that fit to maximize performance (as opposed to simply maximizing what fits under the wheel well)? If you want to get 19x12" wheels, get a Camaro or something American (or at least go get a supercharger or turbo to better match). </rant>

i just stopped caring about a lot of the stupid things kids do these days. probably the same thing the prev generation before me thought of me and my friends in our lil hondas back in the 90s lol

Do you have a lawn? Because I feel like we should get off it.

And to be fair, some of the cars in the aggressive wheel fitment thread are extremely well done. Just like some of the cars in the meaty tire thread. Different strokes for different folks.

I don't get what your point is. If a person spent $0 on flashy mods and all of his money on performance mods, you could rant that his money is wasted because he doesn't even track the car. He/she is such a poser! If he/she did track the car, you could rant that the platform is wasted because it is still road legal and should be a dedicated track car.

I love when a person has modified their car. If it is hella flush, I know right away we may have differing opinions and priorities in life. If the car is very subtle, I know we are more likely to be like minded so I may be inclined to strike up a convo.

If you want to rant about car choices that effect everyone, rant about people who justify driving huge SUV's for their 2.3 children. They take up too much space in parking lots, parked along curbs, slow to accelerate, slow to stop, huge fuel consumption, and are absolutely proven not as safe as a decent station wagon.

I dont get why you have to hate on what other people do since it doesn't have anything to do with you. They aren't really what's wrong with our culture, its people that rant and hate on what others do, thats the problem. All I see now is negative shit everywhere, somewhere along the line I think everyone forgot this is supposed to be a community and not just a bunch of people having a pissing contest.

Call me a hater or even a poser because I don't track my car enough to warrant all the time & $$ spent on my mods. Just saying there's tasteful and there's not so tasteful. But you know what ppl say about what opinions and assholes have in common...
