Lowered car gets stuck on a speed bump at an auto meet

Getting hung up on speed bumps is part of the reason it’s done. Way back in the stone age when I was in school, I’d drive past a car wash on my way home. And most days, there’d be this same dude there, with his lowered hunk of junk, wheels cost more than the rest of the car, etc, hung up on the same speed bump. He’d stand next to it with a big smile and point it out to everyone around. Getting stuck shows you’re doing it right?

This. Crazy, but you do you. My hobby involves running long distances very fast. Most people don’t understand that, either.

No, excessive negative camber ruins handling and traction, owner is an idiot.

The pants falling down actually has a purpose, (originally started as prison inmates signalling for sex). The car is just dumb.

What is it? I can’t see anything now, I’m blinded!

Perhaps the lowered car is also a signal for sex.

He’s not hurting anybody… until he loses control of the vehicle because he has “tuned” it to the point of being non road Worthy.

All he needs to do is add some air to the tires. He’ll be off roading in no time.

Granted, practicality isn’t exactly what people who customize cars for auto shows are going for. It’s kind of like cosplay for gearheads.

That claim is as unsupported as the pants themselves.

For all-time most pointless, wasteful and completely impractical custom car hobby it’s hard to beat the “dB drag racing” competitions for the loudest car sound system. The cars aren’t really drivable (they only have to prove that they can move 20 feet) and nobody is actually in the cars when the sound systems are turned on because it would probably kill a person. They don’t even use the sound systems to play actual music, just a simple standard test sound. But whatever people derive their joy and satisfaction from, I guess.

Well it’s technically a Scion FR-S, but I guess Toyota is close enough when you butcher the vehicle this much.

Well, of course that’s what they say now! :rofl:

True, but it is more aspirational.

Chinese people do it too, like fighting for the right to pay for dinner.
