Stumbled across this while I was supposed to be working...

""Hellaflush" wheels
Sacrificing every-day practicality for dubious styling, these rides are characterized by excessive negative camber (which makes the wheels look like they're falling off), non-existent suspension travel, and tires that can catastrophically fail from the sidewall stretching too far.
"

...


""Hellaflush" is also known as stance. This Mazda Miata doubles as a snowplow."

i dunno if this is even "general chat" worthy. But i thought it was kinda funny

Two kinds of people. Those that think that sort of thing is cool and the rest of us.

Stretched tires plus negative camber makes me ill.

ditto. I have an extreme distaste for it. I always have, and I always will. Falls ENTIRELY into the "Big Ghey Wing" category, which also includes lighted windshield sprayers, and stick on hood scoops.
