    Car enthusiast here and hard disagree. I respect anyone willing to pursue aesthetic so hard even at the cost of practicality. I enjoy cars slammed so low that the rim is bending the fender out etc.

    At a certain point the car is sacrificed in the pursuit of some aesthetic point and I find that very amusing, and quite like it, even if it is practically “dumb”. It’s far stupider to get weird as hell about some very niche slice of car enthusiasts who bother doing this to this extreme.

      Sure. Everybody is allowed to like what they like. And I have zero issues with seeing these cars at a car show. But the moment these fuckwits try driving these cars on a public road they deserve ALL the hate they get. They are prone to mechanical failure and are often unable to navigate common road conditions safely. One day I was on a road trip and there must have been a car show somewhere along the highway because every few minutes along the highway I’d see a group of cars with this mod along the side of the road with one of their number in obvious distress, with a wheel falling off or some other thing.
