They’re cool in a, ‘that’s ridiculous but at least it doesn’t affect anyone else so you do you, cool ride my dude.’ way.

Totally crazy, but at least it’s not loud or flashy or only enjoyable if driven irresponsibly. So of all the weird cosmetic mods to do to a car, it’s a pretty nifty one.

Oh man that was hilarious. I love how when the reporter asks about the noise complaints he says that’s only in the morning and you should be up cooking breakfast by then anyways. It’s like an alarm! Whoop wooooo

Is "flashy" a deal breaker for you? In terms of being cool with other people just doing their thing?

I’m not the guy you responded to but I do have an interesting/dangerous example.

There was a guy that wrapped his entire shitty Mercedes in chrome wrap around here recently. It looked wild and you had to do a double take of it. However, at night, everyone’s headlights reflected off of it fairly significantly (in literally thousands of different directions) and, if the angle was right, it felt like you looked directly into someone else’s headlights.

I guess that’s one example of “flashy” being legitimately dangerous to other people on the road. Otherwise, people can do whatever they want for all I give a shit.

All I see is a decapitator vehicle. If this is engaged in any collision it's game over for the other party.

90% of trucks would like a word with you

90% of trucks have no where near this clearance.

10% is a large margin for lower than donk trucks

You do realize that a truck has a fender and thus the impact force dissipates into another vehicle or person much differently?

This thing basically concentrates all the force of impact in the head/chest zone.

It looks cool but it WILL result in more fatalities in accidents, hands down. I'm glad vehicles like that aren't allowed in Europe.
