We all comment on things we know nothing about but it's gotten amazing in this thread...
ATTENTION OLD MEN; A dropped car will give the appearance of bad camber when resting on it's frame. The camber will correct itself when the vehicle is raised to "drive height". Quite often an operator of said vehicle will drop the vehicle while it is in motion to create sparks to "wow" onlookers. Typically, they attach plates onto the body for these drag shots. Next you old geezers will complain that there's been a suspension malfunction in this vehicle; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFUiEAPOqBI Or that the frame is bent on this one; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9xlxE386BM |

Speaking as an old fart myself...
Nah, clearly there's nothing wrong mechanically.
It's just gay.

Maybe at one point in the 80's when Cheech and Chong was still relevant, lowriders\hydraulics might have been cool. |

The "nothing wrong" is all relative I guess. I find "wrong" to = dumb in this case.
As in, "there's something dumb with those cars"
