ok nice but not practical.
I can imagine all the road kill stacked up on the front bumper like a shovel...
OK lets go for a ride but I can only bring one other person or my tires will rub.

I don't and have never seen the point of dropping a car so far that it scrapes on a stray tick tack.
****ty ride, paranoia about speed bumps, no benefit to handling, ****ty tire wear due to the negative camber. ridiculous.

Hi from Japan,
Can't say I can remember seeing or driving over a speed bump here in Japan.
I did see some in an area of Osaka that had been painted on to the road to look like some though. They fooled me for a few seconds until I rolled over one.
The roads are generally pretty good with only the occasional dip.
Road kill is pretty rare too, I don't know why.
Did you notice that the front tires flexed the guard out when he turned to right lock.
That can't be good.

Thats too low for me. Maybe 10 years ago when I was younger I would have loved it.

I never get sick of that vid...that there is the goal. Anyone with decent credit can go to a dealership, purchace a nice car and be o.k. with that. And there is nothing wrong with that. I don't knock anyone for not modifing thier vehicle, it would defeat the whole purpose of setting youself apart from the norm. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I can appreciate all of the hard work and dedication it took that guy to get his ride to where it's at AND skill/expierience to drive it daily like that. It's remarkable in my book.
