Sure I believe it. These whole hellaflush / helladumped, all stanced out thing are ridiculous and don't make any sense. So for folks who must have it, they got to do what they got to do.
Poor guy don't have airbags, so if he want to pull his car onto his driveway, that's what he got to do.
I would just park on the street, but all his stuff would get stolen.
I am so glad I am not into that stuff.

I think it's the current fad that will die out soon. There are many different ways of looking at it. I'm personally 50/50 on it. I think stuff like that video is just stupid. I personally believe that the flush look, with no added camber except for the natural camber from lowering is okay. I'm not into running too wide of wheels and a super stretched tires. Even for show cars that's not appealing to me. There is also a limit to lowering a car as well. I can understand people with air that park real low, but to drive that low all the time with that stupid camber and stretched tire is just ridiculous to me. At the end, to each their own. Sorry for the rant, but that's just my personal opinion.

I guess this does make sense to lots of people. This is just an assumption but I think its a reasonable supposition.
There have been 69 views of this thread. Some people won't post because they don't care enough to take time to do it.
But there are also going to be a lot of people who don't post because they disagree with the point. I can't guess how many that is but it has to be many. Seeing as we have our own group of wild stance loving youth here on CL, it's even more reasonable.
Be bold, go ahead and tell us why this is worth the trouble. I'd like to know. No one will abuse you.

Aesthetically speaking I think cars that are "slammed" to the ground look absolutely hideous. I don't get it. I've never gotten it.
Compared to stock height, as you gradually lower the car the overall appearance looks more pleasing, but only to a certain point. Past a certain point it starts to look awful. IMO you want to be able to see the tops of your tires from a side view but of course this is just my own opinion.
Aesthetics aside, a car that's totally slammed to the ground just reeks of immaturity and "boy racer" to me. Whenever I see a car like that, my first thought is "must be a teenage driver." It's like wearing super baggy pants that you deliberately sag to the ground, thus revealing part of your boxers.
Edit: I guess technically you actually can see the tops of the tires in the video, but yeah..that's still way too low for my liking. It's not even close.

I want to be clear that I have nothing against lowering the car.....obviously, since mne are lowered.
But when you lower your car so much that it interferes with the ability to drive normally, not only do I not understand it, I believe you are risking yours and others safety.
Lets say you're traveling at high speed, like on the interstate and you see something the car can't clear coming up fast. You have cars all around you. Can veer left, can't veer right. Certainly can't stop on an interstate hwy. What do you do?
Then I think about the nuber of parking lots I enter everyday. They all have steep dips to enter and exit. What a colossal pain to deal with that. It means parking in the street or a distance from where I'm going and walking. I just can't imagine that.
Next would tire wear. These guys must be buying new tires every 2 or 3 months.
I have never said a cross word about doing air suspesion so that you can slam it when sitting still and raise it to drive. That resolves all my concerns.
