This thread reminds me of a thread a few months back. One of the hellaflush crowd came up with one of the funniest justifications for his "stance" I've ever heard.

Cause even with my stupid ride height and my -6.75 rear negative camber i bet i could clock better lap times than 3/4 of the people who have negative comments on my car,dont get me wrong im no professional driver but i know how to drive that thing to his limit, this is no garage queen or hard parker car !!

And ive been into the scene long enough to know that probably 15% of the peoples who are hating now will eventually end up with a similar look/stance within a year and thats the funny part !!
The car in question:

I dont know what this hellaflush crap is....

My car is flush. The wheels are exactly ideal for grip without any negative effects on handling.



I don't need to cut my car into pieces to fit wheels that don't fit, nor do I have tires that have no sidewalls. Never understood the point of that look.

That's the part that is funny about hard parkers. When they think that they're making a functional change. They're in the same league as mag-racers in my book. But I don't really expect much more from people whose "meets" consist of standing around not driving....

I'd rather come across a Hellaflusher than a street ricer. At least the Hellaflusher won't try and keep up (ooh, I can't clear that speed bump without damaging my fenders, I'll have to crawl over it sideways).
This made me laugh.

It's funny cuz it's true..

Not "new" rice. Wheels that stick out past the fenders...which would bend your fender if you ever compressed the shock to the bump stops...IS RICE and always will be.

Definition of "Rice"

Any parts or equipment added or removed from a vehicle that has a neutral or negative effect on PERFORMANCE....is RICE.
