and...who cares about the safely of a "typical ghetto sled"? They aren't really any worse than the dozens of other illegal and dangerous jalopies you see in any given week on any given road. At least the "typical ghetto sled" is pretty obvious from a block or two away, so you can give them a wide berth in case something important pops in their suspension, vs. that rat trap Honda driven by a 50 year old woman, which is just as ready to shoot an a-arm at your car at40mph...

Oh yeah...you cannot with a straight face tell me that those Boyd contraptions have a good ride...they were built for one thing, and one thing only...to make money lookin' good standin' still. You cannot have a good ride in any car when you're slammed like that.
So you don't care if the safety of the car matters? It does matter if it's on the street.

I've worked on enough of those POS cars to know that those aren't even close to the same league as what a pro built car with a custom frame can do- those mods are simply UNSAFE. The big money cars are engineered to sit like that, amazing what some tubing and a torch can do, and they are drivable at highway speeds- it looks crazy and STILL works. That's what makes it a big money car vs. a ghetto hack like pretty much the average DONK car.


My driveway a few years ago. No speculation, I worked and built plenty of domestics..
