Why am I so ignorant? I am sorry I don't share you tastes in mods on cars and I choose to express the right to say I don't like it. To me that does not make me ignorant unless you yourself can say you like every possible mod that car be done to a car including these mods to these cars. I will await your answer.



And here is another one for you and you are starting to convince me that it does not look that bad... Almost as good as some of those ricers going around.

Don't assume that I share the same taste as some of owners of those cars. I'm referring to the original car pic not the rest of stuff that was posted. But you can run with that and make all the assumptions you want.

If you can't say that you like any kind of mod made to cars then don't call someone ignorant for for not agreeing with someone else's opinion... That is just hypocritical.
And I made no assumptions on your taste, I clearly stated that if you can't say you like all mods then you can't call someone ignorant and in the above statement in the bold you state that you don't share the same taste as them. So is it ok if I call you ignorant and narrow minded for not sharing the same tastes as them now?

I await your retort.

I can appreciate the effort and planning that went into it. I just think when its raised up with the wheels sticking out just looks terrible.

You can call me what you want. You posted one picture and then attempted to poke fun at it by showing extreme examples. Seriously how can you compare a rusted car in the junkyard to the original picture you posted? I call that ignorance.

Are you being serious? (don't worry that was a rhetorical question) I can't believe you are getting all uptight about this, it is not even your car... And the car in the first pic was as ridiculus to me as the other pics I posted. And just FYI the old bomb pic was a car with a broken axel, it was not in the junk yard and you just have to wonder why someone would want to have a car that looks like it has broken axels on purpose? But ,everyone to their own I guess..

And you better look up the word ignorant again, b/c I am fully informed on this culture over here and choosing not to embrace it is not being ignorant.

Looks like the car needs to head to a wrecking yard after an accident that resulted in 4 broken axles. lol
I am sorry but I dont think I would call that VIP. Thats pushing it OVER the egde. I know some people appreciate this kind of set up. To each his own. Its kind of like low riders with dayton wheels that stick out beyond the fender. Do your thing playboy, and I will do my thing.

Dude, some of you guys seriously miss the point.

It's the POINT that it makes you say "that looks like the wheels are going to fall off" or "he must change tires every month" or "how can you drive that low?"

Car's don't just DO that. It takes the right application of all sorts of numbers to make something like that happen. Because the owners ball that #$%^ing hard. And everytime someone says "that looks stupid" it puts a smile on the face of the guy who made it that way. Stupid? yea. Stupid tight. ;P
