according to Aaron, you're the one that sucks Kielan. hahahaha

Shut up Sam, I was talking about snow. Pretty sure most people that know what snow looks like on these forums, have made the same mistake once in their life.

No, every car has A stance. It doesn't mean it's made up. Just like the example of the baseball player. Someone might say he has a nice stance that is made up of "z" characteristics and another might say another player has a nice stance as well which is vastly different from "z" stance, so let's just call that "x" stance.

If you're comparing that to the real word/application of "stance," it's pretty much the same in the automotive world. In laymen terms/very general/non specific, stance is how the car sits/rests/stands/whatever you want to call it; just like the baseball player would.

In more specific application of that word; in the baseball sense: knees, elbows, torso, etc.
In the car sense: wheels, tires, suspension, camber, height, etc.

Because it is all opinionated, it cannot be applied to a single factual definition, so nothing can BE "stanced," but it can have a [nice] stance.

Okay, I understand what you're saying now. That is totally correct. I was merely comparing the word "stance" with the very similar word "position," however. Position doesn't mean just one single set position just as stance doesn't either. Obviously, that is all open to speculation and opinion but position is considered a verb. A baseball player might be positioned to one person and not to another. Just as one car may be "stanced" to one person and not the other. Just as one car may be "dope" to one person and not another. There is no set definition of dope. It's not a good comparison to the word "stance" but since when does a word have to have one clearly defined definition and cannot be applied to whatever the person using it wants it to be applied to? I understand what you're saying, just pushing it a littler farther. Every car has fitment, right? We still use that word in a way that is widely open to opinion. Wow, that car's got fitment. We all know what is ment by that even if it is widely open to opinion. Hell, we even say "that car doesn't have fitment or stance" when it technically 100% does (it has wheels attached to the car, right?)

Saying "that car has stance" and "that car is stanced" have the same exact meaning coming from the same person and both are equally opinionated, and wrong according to you. Yes all cars have stance but that's never what we mean when we use the term. When we say "that car has stance" we never mean "that car has a stance", we mean "that car has a nice stance." I just feel if we begin nitpicking like that, most things that people say (all of us) are wrong.

"That car has stance"- meaning that car has a nice stance.
"That car is stanced"- meaning that car has a nice stance.
Both wrong. One accepted, the other not.


See we can have a real conversation.

Who the hell decided baseball was a good separate topic to use to describe the usage of the word stance?

PALM. FACE.

and yes, my sig is definitely awesome

I did, (it was literally the only thing I could think of that I could see even kind of sort of relating).

And Aaron, your sig sucks.

So by what you're saying our definition of stance is made up and applied to cars the way we see fitting. It is the combination of fitment, ride height, wheel/part selection, cleanliness, overall style, etc.(I believe that's what you ment by saying stance is more than arrange. of wheels/tires). Stance in this sense is not a real word. So why can't we use it as a verb if it's made up?

And my view of stance is the relation of the wheels with the car, the relation of the tires with the wheels, and the relation of the car with the ground. I don't include other styling points. I know some do, but that's just my opinion and a different matter. My view of stance is more the true definition of the word applied to automotive tuning.

This would all be fine and dandy if there was ONE set "stance" that it could be applied to. The word "stance" being accepted is all relative to the person saying it. Plus, stance isn't just the arrangement of the wheels and tires alone...

If you take what Kielan said about the baseball player having a nice stance... You don't/can't say he is "stanced."

I myself am guilty as using it as a verb, but never very often. I usually talk about the car having fitment or something to do with the word "fit". Unless I say, "That car has a nice stance." But I already covered that.

I've heard enough people this past year say "I'm going to stance my *insert car here*" to make me want to blow my brains out lol

I still **** your sig.

Stance is a noun. Position is a noun. Stance is not a verb. Position is a transitive verb.

Therefore, anyone who uses stanced has no logic, nor understanding of the english language. I do not know if that was sarcasm or not.

Technically, saying "Your wheels are positioned properly," is improper english. "You positioned your wheels properly," is proper english. Would you nitpick that?

IMO stance has as much a right to be a verb as position does, or atleast a transitive verb.
One of the definitions of position as a noun: an act of placing or arranging
The definition of position as a transitive verb: to put in a certain position
One of the definitions of stance (as a noun, duh): a way of standing or being placed
Hypothetical definition of stance as a verb: to put in a certain position

Close enough IMO. Shit, IMHO, I think both position and stance should should be ambitransitive verbs.

With that said, yes stanced is not a word, but who gives a fuck?
