Ah, my little Belgium.

Nevertheless, his thing and it was…

Stance and scrape is everywhere, even in little Bzelgium; Guys who do it on the cheap even, like oldtime lowriders, by ditching springs and putting in some rubber blocks or nothing at all. That combined with too skinny tyres, makes people wonder “How did that kid end up wrapped around a tree?” *Because he hit a tiny…
