[mathew.poulos]

Your average road user is less forgiving and will think your car is broken.

:chuckle

[geobur]

lmfao I love how stance is number 1 I tend to agree with most of these...I like the number 2 one too rolling coal I loled

and seriously Confederate flags...totally should be higher on the list...

[Jsquared]

That was my co workers first response when I showed him lowered speed 3s and told him I might do the same to mine. "looks like it needs time in a shop" haha

My broken looking car passed unbroken looking cars all Friday :)

[r4mi5awi]

Bang on. Nothing's worse than slowly trailing behind or waiting to a full-stop for an excessively slammed douche turtling over a speed-bump.

[bubba1983]

nothin wrong with a lil unburnt fuel in the morning....hahah

I've never understood this, it's a speed bump it's meant to slow you down. Honk all you want at me entering and exiting plazas but not over a device meant to control speed.

entering a plaza is not a speed bump, thats your car thinking a curb is a speed bump. as for speed bump it is suppose to slow you down, not come to a complete stop and crawl over it.

My comment was pertaining to EXCESSIVELY SLAMMED vehicles. I feel like it was mistakingly taken out of context. Does someone here understand what I was getting at? Hope it made enough sense :)

[midnightfxgt]

The term "stance" is like "rice"... everyone has a different definition.

A dropped car, and some good fitting wheels, some camber = Fine
Stupid Camber (x2 if its not even needed to fit said wheels), mashed fenders, unsafe stretch, and crying everytime you break something = Not fine. lol

I know entering a plaza is not a speed bump. That's why I said I get when people honk at me for that as it is an inconvenience.

However slowing down to go over something that is made to slow you down seems normal??

I get what you're saying. My car is pretty low (lower than my sig) so I have to go really slow over speed bumps, I never saw it as an issue because as I mentioned before they are designed to control speed.

I also have an A pillar gauge haha.

[r4mi5awi]

Lol

[midnightfxgt]

All of your opinions are now moot :P

If slammed/stanced cars have taught us anything in life. Its to slow down and go over one wheel at a time.
People are in such rush to go nowhere.

[ZeroChalk]

... I thought it taughts us how overly concerned we are with image and perception. All show, no go, and barely driveable. I think people mature and they just grow out of it.

If you're not concerned with image and perception..... Honda is awaiting you.

[mathew.poulos]

so I have to go really slow over speed bumps, I never saw it as an issue because as I mentioned before they are designed to control speed.

They are ment to slow you down, not bring you to a complete stop and go over it at a snails pace to ensure you dont hit your bumper going ~2km/h (i dont know if your car is that extreme but many are)

[ZeroChalk]

Call me a fool... but I like a car that is still practical and economical. Not one that self-destroys itself every time I take it out on the road and that it puts the risk of my passengers and myself at jeopardy... but hey it look's cool and I get attention.

What I'm saying is...... if you want a practical and economical car with no real regard to making an impression on people with styling........ buy a Honda. At least one of the things most Mazda owners here like is that our cars have some style and stand out on the road (even non-stanced).

I'm not going to argue about the "dangers" of stanced cars because it just goes around in circles.

[Dave_The_BMXER]

If you want to go in circles lets talk about how stance isn't actually just about stretch, poke, and camber.

Lets not forget stance of 'yore
