on top you have a guy who wrenches and obviously DGAF about track times, but chooses to mod things to get scene points in the parking lot..... on the bottom you have a rich guy who writes a big check to own a supercar and probably doesn't even do basic maintenance. I guess if I had to choose I'd go with the top image, because that person actually understands how things work and has done a suspension swap at least. The bottom guy is probably a fat old piece of **** who knows literally nothing other than what the sales guy told him. |

https://imgur.com/gallery/v7Ust That car will look closer to the concept sketch, the design intent, before the bean counters and focus groups got involved. Designers make the wheels FILL the arches, and center them in the arches, and reduce the tires to rubber bands to show off the rim design. Most concept sketches look something like this, in the ideation stage: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog....1_porsche3.jpg Quote:
They look better not just subjectively, but objectively they are adhering to more design principles; the wheels are centered in the arches! That's why it 'sits' nice. To be honest, it would be even better with some spacers in back so the wheels don't look sunken into the fenders... Quote:

Just had mine lowered a tad. I like it and would not lowner it anymore but to each their own. I’m not a fan of the slam cars but I can appreciate what a group of enthusiast are trying to achieve. A Motörhead comes in all shapes and size(not the kind that rawkees likes..big) but we all have our passions and we should learn to appreciate other brands and styles. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1562854646.jpg

Looks good, Rey. That Ice Green Metallic 930 is set up perfectly--to work on the car antenna and AC receiver/dryer without removing the wheels!

The question on the meme was "which guy knows more about cars", and it looks like someone who wrenches/modifies cars vs some rich banker type who pays for all the service to be done and has never gotten his hands dirty. Sure, my bias is showing. Go to cars and coffee and talk to people who own exotics. Most of them are tool sheds that spout nonsense and pretend to know what they are talking about. I'd rather hang out with the 17 year old who swapped a K series into his civic than some banker that plays in excel all day, pays for all his maintenance, and talks down to people about hard work and making it in America when banking industries **** our economy and then get bailouts from tax payer money. |

I know plenty of supercar owners in my customer base. Very few of them were born rich. Many of them were club racing and self supporting 40 years ago in an old 356 or 911. Today they are in their 70s, retired, and racing Cup Cars and GT4 Clubsports and driving something even nicer to the race weekend. They earned the right to sit there in their coolsuit and drink an iced tea while some shop tech checks their fluids and tire pressure. You're judging appearances with zero knowledge of their personal history. It's a very niave approach to people and in the end it's only you who will miss out. I have met and gotten to know some absolutely fantastic people who make more annually than I will make in my lifetime. |
