can there please be a like button for this lol

Was it really necessary to bump a 3 month old thread to say this?

[Stike]

i'm on a forum called idahomotorsports.com or known as IMS. people on that site always **** on peoples cars that are stanced out. the main argument and **** is that the cars are only to look at and are not functional. well i have several friends who have stanced out cars and they daily drive them, autox them drift them and drag them. i can't really butt in becasue, well currently i have no car. but once i do its going to be stanced out like crazy. i guess alot of people don't understand it. like for example. there are tons of civics and other cars around here that all they care about it going fast. me personally i would rather have a super stanced car and drive slow. (watching the road 100% of the time, lol) i guess people **** on it just like people willl **** on anything.

People see stance as a "fad" because of the way it is portrayed via the media. If you aren't involved all you see is a bunch of shallow blog features, lame stickers, and a lack of any real depth. You see that wheel fitment is an accessory to a cheap image, just like a rare set of sneakers, an AK47 print shirt, and a pair of white Raybans.

They don't see the community or the culture behind it. If someone hates, invite them out to the next meet, or invite them over the next time you try and fit an aggressive set of wheels so they can see the work it involves. Once they see what is really behind it... they'll get it.

30's and 40's....those days were about salt flats not parking lot pimping like occurred in the 80s.

Back in the mid 90s i remember using the word stance to describe the way a car sat...aka "that car has a nice stance". Just like alot of words as time and pop culture progress it becomes a different meaning entirely.

I blame rap music.

Lumis, I realise this has been around for a while. You could say it started in the 80s with mini truckers. But only in the past couple of years has it gotten big.
.

More like the 30's and 40's with hot rodders and rat rodders. People have been stretching tires forever too, things die down and then come back in new shapes and forms, just like everything else.


Back on topic, I don't get the whole idea of stance either, it takes away function, cost money, and ruins parts pre-maturely... but I fucking love the way it looks, always have always will. Its that easy. I give stock car lovers, purist, and ricer car lovers shit, and I'm sure they don't understand why. Oh well, without diversity the world would suck, and everyone has an opinion.

Stanceworks is gay and full of homos that ruin what their cars were designed for.


Fuck you all.

Theres just certain cars that you can stance and be accepted. Lets take sedans for example. You take a non performance oriented car like a camry/corolla. Modding it to make it look like a "sports car" would be stupid, but if you do the whole vip thing, it would make somewhat acceptable. If you have a kia, theres no point going vin diesel fast and furious on it because its stupid. But if you go stance on it, people will go "hmm, interesting"

Now, take a high performance exotic car like a ferrari, if you slam the shit out of it and put some rediculous camber on it, you just made enzo ferrari facepalm himself wherever he is. Same with corvettes, lambos, s2ks, etc.

simple...

when the majority of the people in the world see "stanced" cars, their brain interprets it as this...



in all honesty, i still dont understand the whole "stanced" thing...

flush and lowered is one thing, some of the stance works out there is just straight out stupid... thats my opinion

that y33 is amazing.

These threads are silly. Errybody do what you want and punch errybody in the face who disagrees

[FluidMotorUnion]

Different strokes for different folks, dude.

For me, with my S2000 people on the s2000 forums would give me crap left and right for building a car that was not worthy bc it wasnt done for a track style. Since the car is so great and magical it can ONLY be for tracks... but what did i do? just keep posting up there with titles saying I wonder how many people i will bug, Lets see how many guys disagree, or my fav one i did OMG SUPER TRACK MONSTER!

Either way everyone will have a different approach or opinion. Some love the idea of stance but dislike the idea of stickers on our windows. Some compare our car to low riders.. Either way as long as we're happy and proud to drive our cars, no one will come close to understanding it from the outside world.

[BeemerBuyer]

^^^ I agree.
