It's useful!!

It makes it so you can go offroading and climb steep curbs with your ride! Grip on all angles FTW!

It is also useful for horrendously uneven tire wear... Should of just put some 185s on there or something, lmao

The car is doing......um....car shows? Trailered to and from? What a waste of an S2K

been a while since i found a good one, but today i found this little beauty. Kinda puts some crazy camber into perspective, doesn't it. he gets bonus points for mounting both flames on the same side of the car by turning the one that belongs on the other side upside down.

^^Nice find. I didn't even notice the wing at first, I was too busy laughing about the flames.







Here's a few I have found recently

This first one is somebodys company car, but I figured it would still fit in on this thread.

















And keeping with the Beetle theme here is one I saw on the way to work the other day. At first I thought it was a company car too, for like a florist or something, but there were no company stickers or markings anywhere on it.

i am amazed you saw that driving down the road. despite the problems with deloreans they are one of the most memorable cars ever built. i'd like to see/drive one sometime, with or without the flux capacitor. haha

I wanted to ask a question. I just got my RX8 a few months ago and i wanted to lower the ride height. I was giving a set of DROPZONE Springs for free that lower the car about 2' . My car is completely stock with 18' rims. What do you guys recommend i add to the springs to make sure everything is good ? I'll take any suggestions.

^^^^^^ uuummm, welcome to the board, but did you happen to read any of the 73 pages in this thread? It is entitled "what not to do to your car" and has tons of pics of crazy, jacked, or just plain ugly cars and you post a question about lowering your car? There is a section which details lowering options, you can find your answers in there. Try the Tech & Performance section of the board, and again welcome.

Why do the rear wheels of that DeLorean look like they'd fit well on a Ford F-350?
