Low Down 356

http://vimeo.com/29415949

hope this isn't a repost. The boys over at the 356 registry are stroking out. Oh, it's to low. Bla bla

I'd definitely have to raise it a few inches to drive it around here.


The girl's too skinny for my tastes.

I don't think she's too skinny for me, but the tattoos and piercings are a major turn-off.

Cool video, cool car - what's under the trunk? Also, are 356's steering wheels really that big? Looks like she was driving a bus?

I like it. Too low for every day, but cooooool. Can't imagine the surgery it took to get those wheels under the rear fenders, esp. in an A car.

And yes, the stock early wheels are that big. A pleasure to drive with actually - the steering is quite heavy at low speeds, so the mech. advantage of a big wheel helps a lot. I put a smaller Nardi in mine, and parallel parking was a workout.

I can see the appeal of this car, with the exception of the suspension setup.

I think that its kinda dirty--the car, the girl--which we all want to like.

But don't kid yourself--we are ALL a little purist in our taste concerning women and automobiles--that is what drives us to the Porsche brand, it is that "everything you need, nothing you don't" kind of minimalist approach to life that allows us to appreciate other brands, but only really love one.

Well, thats my 2 cents!

Ironically the girls sums up the car pretty well.

That car was beautiful when it left the factory... Why mess with it?
Too low and the wheels are too big. The outlaw thing has been done to death.

>>> The girl! ~ I hope the tattoos are fake.

Kind of a blend of Rat Rod and bling. A mixed metaphor if you will. As for the car...

Rat rod for sure. Inside and out. I love it and she is the perfect one to drive it.

A's aren't as tough as PreA's....I had to put the tires/wheels on the rear of my Speedster with tires deflated.

Great car for that long ride from the hangar to the plane.
I'm sure she couldn't handle the walk...
