This makes me sad :(

Off Topic Discussion. These posts do count towards overall post count. This is by far the best subforum on the site.

I really don't like stretched tires in general. I think it looks dumb when the lip of the rim sticks out past the tire. And then when there's no tire even visible because the rim is basically touching the wheel well, to me that looks dumb too. It's like shoving 24s on an Impala, just doesn't look good. I know there's a scene for it and they think it's great and that's cool. It's just not a look I can appreciate.

And just cause someone puts a lot of work into a car doesn't automatically demand respect for that car. I mean this dude put a ton of work into his car and I'd still laugh my ### off if I saw it driving down the road. He talks about how it turns heads but dude, they're not all looking to say "wow nice car," they're looking to say "haha what a piece of shit."

That's what I think they are going for. What were they called? Phat cars? They made them as toys to iirc. The kids that bought those are probably old enough to drive now and are trying to replicate it. I like it on paper as concept art and that's where it should stay.

If you haven't already figured it out, CMZC is a community of car enthusiasts that much prefer go to show. There's absolutely nothing wrong with modding for appearance purposes, but the picture Andrew posted and that you have shown your support for is at a point which a lot of people here would think too far.

Uuuuuhhhhhh, HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

First, I thought it was funny the part of the Toyota disclaimer "these are non-factory parts and will void the warranty". WHAT WARRANTY? That's a 1992 Camry lol.

I will say this, that vehicle would make it in and out of my driveway easily lol.

I agree though, I seriously doubt too many people are looking at the car because they like it lol. It cracks me up when people think that just because their car is a head-turner that everyone likes it LOL. I've seen several people look at my car, but I don't assume they all like it, I'd say maybe not even 50% of people. You have to be truthful with yourself, it's not for everyone. But like he said, I don't care if people don't like it, because I love it, and I can give him credit for that. But I would say that car is riced beyond rice. How many TVs do you really need? And you need them in the leans of the rear seats? LOL

I thought the rear doors were kinda cool, but just because I haven't seen that on pretty much any other cars.

Why, because we don't like what you like? By that logic that would make you ridiculous too.

I'm all for constructive criticism. Criticism in and if itself does no good though...but I'm just being picky.

Constructive criticism example...the wheels look good, but the center caps seem off a bit. You could try plasti dipping them.

Criticism example...yo homey your wheels are whack and I can't believe your stupid ### posted pictures of it...hahaha
