ATTENTION OLD MEN;

A dropped car will give the appearance of bad camber when resting on it's frame. The camber will correct itself when the vehicle is raised to "drive height". Quite often an operator of said vehicle will drop the vehicle while it is in motion to create sparks to "wow" onlookers. Typically, they attach plates onto the body for these drag shots.

Next you old geezers will complain that there's been a suspension malfunction in this vehicle;

Or that the frame is bent on this one;

Nah, clearly there's nothing wrong mechanically.

It's just gay.

That shit has been retarded for decades.
Maybe at one point in the 80's when Cheech and Chong was still relevant, lowriders\hydraulics might have been cool.

The "nothing wrong" is all relative I guess. I find "wrong" to = dumb in this case.

As in, "there's something dumb with those cars"

These "drag " cars are stupid popular down here in tn and I will admit when ur down town and one drops and sends a shower of sparks it looks cool for .5 seconds

After that just plain dumb

Nah I think it's straigh up entertaining... especially when I'm not the one paying for the repairs.

I myself would love to bag my car... Park it in the lot... and pssssssss sittin on frame.

they plate the hell out of the bottom of the frame

litterally they weld a huge plate, drag it till its gone then weld another, the frome itself never hits the road
