    I agree.

    Still sounds stupid, much like saying 'rims' instead of 'wheels'

    It's just one of my pet peeves when people use slang like it is "proper" English. Sure, I use slang as well, but in a joking manner (usually to mock someone or something), but that is just me.

    I shall refer you to the "Wheels vs Rim" thread.

    Stance is not a verb! "The car is stanced." = "The car has a nice stance." =

    Definition: Stanced- Verb, used when describing a vehicle's suspension when it has been altered to be more aesthetically pleasing.



    correct me if Im wrong
    Umm, a verb is an action, a describing word is an adjective...

    Stance is NOT a verb, it is an adjective to describe how a car sits and the general flow of the wheels and suspension (height) with the rest of the car

    It could also be used as a noun as you can say stance is something a car has but it's not a verb

    Looks like we need to bring back the truck thread!


    The general style discussion forum, as well as a place to post your car, or any car for that matter.

    When you're on a website that uses stance in the url expect it to be used in the forum...
    this.
