Yesterday I was driving through a nearby town when I met a "stanced" Mazda 3. The owner had gone the whole 9 yards: lowered, with wide rims mounting tires which were deformed in order to seat the beads and drastic negative camber resulting in the tires contacting the road surface with part of the tread and part of the sidewall.
Oh yes, the road surface was a recently plowed street which was a combination of rough ice, loose snow and bare pavement. WTF?
I applaud the effort that goes into making a vehicle a statement of one's interest, but where does the line between interesting and insane get crossed?
If I had the authority, I think I would have had the vehicle removed from the streets until it was returned to a specification suitable for travel on public roads or rendered inoperable. It's bad enough having to get from point A to point B on winter roads without worrying about the ability of someone with questionable judgment to keep their misguided expression of self on their side of the road.
Rant over.
