I remember when the fast and the furious first came out everyone had the neon glow lights and nos bottles.
Eventually everyone came back to their senses.

Look, you have the right to do whatever the hell you want to your car, your house, your David Bowie collection, e.t.c. as long as you own them.

But keep in mind that while you are free to do such things, the rest of us are free to say and judge whatever the hell we want in response...

That leaves you with 2 options: deal with it, or Your call.

As for my take, I do not understand it. It makes no sense to me to mod a car to the point where you really can't drive it on normal roads without breaking something. I am all for making your car look good, but if the only way it can look good to you is to basically ruin it's ability to function, then sell the drive-train, turn it into a large lawn ornament, and go buy yourself a scooter. At least they can go down the road without ripping out a floor pan.

This is the camber I'm gonna shoot for. Little bit of positive, little bit of negative. Nobody is doing it yet, but you just wait....

Oval racers do, you just have to decide which way you plan to turn then route gps accordingly. Lol perhaps you have the next trend. Modify the car to look cool but lose ability to turn right effectively.

Because that's a 350Z.

350 or not, I think it definitely looks good sitting still. Driving around would be another story...

wait....

did you really just use a stance bashing thread to rag on a backwards hat?



i wear my hat backwards and i'm not "emmulating hip hop culture".....and i'm a white.

plus it is to shade my neck.....who would want to be a "redneck"

I'll bet you use the word "dude" dozens of times a day too. Have you ever seen the old film of the hippies from the 60's and how ridiculous they look in Nehru Jackets and Love Beads ? Wearing a hat backwards may be in style for some now but it doesn't mean that it isn't a fashion to be mocked not only now but in the future. Get ahead of the curve. You'll thank me for my elderly advice and wisdom.

dude, bball caps have been worn backwards for as long as they have been around.

Its not like 80s clothes or anything out of the 70s. Trust me, its all on you as far as backward hats are concerned.

You know what the difference between me and you is?

I make this look good

And by elderly advice do you mean experience of wearing said love beads and Nehru jackets? I mean it's ok to admit it?

But seriously if you wanna talk about terrible fads then stick to bashing stanced out riced out cars. Not my backwards hats.
