That’s what we call in this country an opinion.

No you haven’t.
“Would I flag down a cop to try and get them off the road? YES.”
“But instead, it’s a blowout taking out a bus of nuns that makes the rest of the car clubs look bad.”
Oh shut up and stop lying on the internet. You have not seen “multiple blow-outs” on the highway due to cars with excessive camber. These cars represent, what, .00001% of all cars on the road? If even that? Even if there are safety concerns, it’s a blip in the radar at most. Stop trying to rationalize the fact that…
You’ve seen multiple blow-outs on the highway from cars with excessive camber? Where are these people who are so fast and furious living?
Yes, that’s exactly what my post said. Your reading comprehension is apparently just like your opinions - absolute shit.
Oh who the fuck cares. They are mostly doing this shit to cars no one cares about like civics and escorts. It’s not for you. Fine. It’s not for me either. But if they enjoy it, lighten the fuck up. This country would be a lot better if people stopped caring so fucking much what other people are doing when it doesn’t…
I could care less about stanced cars. It’s the trucks that are lifted very high that scare me. In an accident with a normal car the bumper could take off a head since they are at head hight, and they are very top heavy & unstable.
Wtf has happened to Jalopnik? Guy “mods” his car by making the factory bypass valve stay open to have the stock exhaust a bit louder and people are complaining that it’s not fair to the general public? Gimme a break people.
I don’t think you do see...and that is the problem.
Because cops seem to have selective vision when it comes to groups they like and don’t like. Stancers and ricers are often seen as no-good snotnosed punks who are too busy building crap cans with mommy and daddy’s money.
Wow... would have never imagined that comment would have been liked so much and garnered a COTD, but here I am. Truthfully I feel a bit strange since I’m mostly a lurker but I appreciate the kind words.
oh great, we’re rewarding truth and logic instead of sass now?
I remember that article and I was 100% into it.
“Millennials hate Cars”
Followed with
“Thousands of millennials get tickets for modifying their cars”.
I think stanced is stupid. I’m sure when I was younger older people thought what I did to my car was stupid (Big wings, body kits, subwoofers, underbody neons, black with…
So if your bumper is too low, you get impounded. Yet put a lift kit on a truck to the point your bumper will literally decapitate another driver in an accident and it’s no big deal. I will never understand American automobile regulation.
Couldn’t the same be said of those who habitually speed? Breaking the law doesn’t change based on what law you’re breaking.
Theres a lot of double-standard righteousness around here from both the writers and commenters alike. I recall an article not too long ago (maybe a year or so) that lamented the apathy towards the stance scene, calling it just a different form of automotive customization and culture than whats considered the norm.
So how can slammed cars be ticketed, but lifted Bro-dozers never are? I’ve never seen one pulled over and ticketed for being lifted to the point, where if one hits you, the bumper is level with the victim’s head.
Thank you! It’s getting annoying, actually, and I say this as someone who really hates the extreme stance look.
