Form > Function

[ATL BRZ]

There are more than a few owners here on this forum with cars just like that. They spend their first wad of cash on shitty coilovers or airbags and slam the car before doing anything else, don't bother correcting the resulting insane camber, and think it looks cool in photoshoots and while drifting. It's hilarious that many of them claim to not be hellaflush fanboys when running stretched 225's on 9.5" wheels...

I think they all look broken. Hate the look of the "stance" or hellafail scene myself, but I'm not hating on owners doing what they want to their cars. I just hope they all realize they are ruining any and all chances of their cars being remotely fast around a turn, which is what I thought the point of the car was to begin with. @Moto-P said it a long time ago, the suspension in these cars likes to MOVE.

aint got nothing against doing that to a machine, I mean you can paint it pink and put 42" tires on a sports car if thats your build style

dont make it right, and wont ever earn my 'respect'

I fail to see how and ill fitted tire and rim combo is cool, safe, or OK on public roads, I also fail to see how using 1/5 of your tires contact patch makes sense

in the 80's you could dye your hair blue, that was personal expression. Butchering a car with bad engineering has nothing to do with taste
its a lack there of

Pride? admire? nah...

What does this lifestyle entail? Buying new tires every 6 months, for one.

Hellaflush/over-negative camber is not my thing. But thank you for doing your part to keep the economy going.

[Jinzen]

He thinks it looks sooo cool. That's the lifestyle. Except most people think it looks mega lame.

[Jayde]

Ehh....

Never was really into this stance thing.

[norsamerican]

Im beginning to wonder of the true orgins of thes "hellaflush" style was generated from the latino low riders transitioning over to the import scene.

[HunterGreene]

I've come to a new conclusion--Hellaflushers are the Hipsters of the Automotive world. Except Hellaflushers have more money

[campy]

Yeah! How dare they spend their own money to modify their cars in a way I personally don't like! These idiots don't know that all mods MUST be done to shave tenths of seconds off their track times, not for style or their own enjoyment!


I know we all like circlejerking over the "function > form" mantra here, but really, get over it. Let other people enjoy their cars instead of making fun of them on the internet.

Women wear high heels b/c they like how they look even though it ruins the biomechanical assembly of the ankle / foot.

This isn't that much different, except the car doesn't have an ass to accentuate. It's not a very smart trend, and it really does NOTHING for the system other than appearance, and it's expensive... But who cares?

The car is an object. Would you get mad if someone who had the same dishwasher as you did something stupid with it?

I was being sarcastic...

[ZetaVI]

OK, here I go...I prefer function over form in this case. I appreciate the effort involved w/ the engineering to create a functional machine. I'm not fond of stance culture but should they care for what I care for? No. They appreciate the style more than engineering which is all fine imo. I respect it. They love their car so they mod it and share on forums for those who like it to appreciate what they did. In the end, nobody would listen to some1 complain about a car that isn't theirs.

[bdub85]

Hellaflush/Stanced whatever you want to call it is the same as having a riced out car as far as I'm concerned.

Also, I find it amusing to see how hard people have to defend it. Newsflash, not everyone is going to like your dumbass trend.

No one is stopping them from doing anything, we can still say what we think of it I don't see the problem with that.
