I'm pretty sure i invented this look thirty years ago when i inadvertently "Dukes of Hazarded" a station wagon I was driving. Lots of camber and lots of tow out too. Made a hella cool squealing as it went down the road.

Should have copyrighted it, you could have been collecting royalties

Japanese have the crazyiest style what's even crazier is they drift someof these vehicles!

My Wife and I car watch as much as we people watch. More power to them, I can laugh at their ridiculous looking car. And in 10 years, when they look at it, they can laugh too.

I am a much larger fan of function. It pains my logical mind to see a sports car laden with rims and tires that clearly do not fit "correctly". What's nearly as bad is watching all those 90's trucks with every glue on exterior mod known to man with their 14" tires sticking out the wheel well because their retarded offsets and spacers. I don't understand it. Hey Jackass, how about you kick up more rocks? Wish I can find a picture.

I know you're not from this area, but in Manassas va, those sorts of trucks (and even cars) that you just explained are literally more common than even Accords and Civics.

Its like driving throught another country in that city.

Same here. My engineering mind is always like "WTF why would you do that?"

Fashion over function.

Now, whether or not you like it is a mater of taste...

But... keep in mind, part of the "art" or style is to see how far you can go, which is why you will see some cars that border on the cartoonish.

In other words -- it's more of an art project than a vehicle, after a certain point, and that's where it will start to get a bit silly.

Well said Jordo..

I think it looks silly but like I said, that's just my opinion. I genuinely wanted an explanation - that's all.
