Why do people "slam" their cars?

[sean]

Because they think it makes them look cool.

fixed that.

I personally think it's a stupid idea. I don't think it's fun having a car nearly scraping its underparts on the road just because people like the idea of scraping the highway. I just think it's dumb.

I saw one someone try to drive their, which you described, slammed car over a large speedbump that are frequent among the busier streets of my neighborhood. They did not go for the speedbump head on like everyone would, they wanted to come at it at a near sideways angle. Make a wide left then a wide right before going over it. This way of approaching the speedbump can easily annoy other people on the street which is why I don't like the idea.

By the way, when I say slammed, I don't mean like lowering 2 inches like the eibach suspension does to our cars. I mean cars like this.

I adore the slammed car look. Oh and those chromed out rims? They make me drool and want to marry whoever drives such a prestigious pimpin ride. I literally wish I could walk up to every such master of design and let them know, personally, how much I adore and worship them. Those Casanovas know the way to every classy lady's heart.

Dang. 16510 was slammed to the ground when I got it. I knew I shouldn't have replaced those chopped springs.

Never understood this, never will. I also don't get spoilers; which are called that because they spoil the looks of the car. There are only a handful of cars where they look good and make sense.

By comparison, the only car I know of with a worse front ride height than the DeLorean is the '70s Eldorados. They sit so high that it looks like they're missing their engines.

That photo was taken at 87.9 MPH just before the car disappeared. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)

Edit: Argh! I just read Dermot's post. I should stop clicking the e-mail link and start reading these threads all the way through. Lack of reading FTL. :-(
