Thank you. I understand not wanting to do this to your own car, but if you met someone with a clean properly done stance car in person it might change your view a bit. This is absolutely huge in Japan car culture, and the fast guys respect these cars too


United-Advertising67

Why is the license plate bent?


ThatS650

People who slam their cars like this will purposefully bend their license plates as a further “cosmetic mod.” It’s meant to indicate that the car is so low that the license plate scraped against the road and was bent upwards like that. I really want to know what goes through these people’s heads lol


Professional_Buy_615

I'm guessing it isn't a whole lot.


YouArentReallyThere

Wind. Lots of wind


SyntheticElite

>It’s meant to indicate that the car is so low that the license plate scraped against the road and was bent upwards like that. That's not it. It's cosmetic for the most part yes, but it was/is done for 2 reasons; 1) To make it look like the plate is blowing back in the wind, as an aesthetic 2) It's harder for the highway speed cameras that are on the side of the Tokyo Shutoko to grab your plate number. Like with mounting stolen subway grab handles on your car, it's a hoodlum aesthetic.


fangelo2

Everyone is criticizing this, but they don’t realize that this is just a way to prevent their catalytic converters from being stolen.


Zestyclose_Bread2311

Is it because it got scrapped off by the road?

TroyMacClure

Why is "I don't need to see out the windows" such a pervasive concept with these guys?


Dat_Bokeh

Most of them have insanely dark windshield tint to boot. I don’t know about Japan, but that is definitely illegal in the US.


Otm_Shank1

Tell that to the people here in Pennsylvania. I've seen multiple people with mirror tint on their windshield.


Velicenda

The people with the blacked out windows/tail lights tend to also be the ones buddy-buddy with local cops around here. For some reason they never get in trouble.


Longjumping-Act-8935

Here's one better, one of the local cops around here owns a stanced Nissan That looks just just like the ones in this video, heavily tinted everywhere including front windshield. He drives it all over town never gets in trouble. Rules for thee... I guess. Although this kind of car is something I would never drive anyways.


rwbronco

It’s not just these guys, have you seen the trucks that are lifted in the front and squatted in the back? They’re aimed upwards at like a 45° angle and can’t see anything in front of them.


Murky-Plastic6706

The Carolina Squat


footsteps71

And illegal in North Carolina thankfully


Professional_Buy_615

I still see them often

There's only one here nearby that hasn't fixed it. There were 7 in the area that I saw often, I've seen 6 of them install the rear of the lift kit.

Get some airbags god damn it


smashingcones

The stance sub loves frothing over static builds and I just don't understand it. I'd rather air up and avoid scraping the shit out of my car but apparently it's only cool if you ruin your car in the process of IG clout lol


Makhnos_Tachanka

I don't understand why they're building their cars not to scrape along the ground at all times. My logic is this: the goal is to have the car as low and fucking stupid as possible. The degree to which this has been achieved can be easily measured by the amount of scraping it does as it attempts to navigate tall obstacles such as uh... atoms and molecules. Ergo, the lowest, and thus best stanced car is the one which constantly scrapes, even on a perfectly flat, or even convex surface. The ideal stanced car should presumably scrape away at least 1 inch of its own body per mile driven.


Dimev1981

This is "probably" the dumbest shit I have ever seen done to cars! What is the benefit????? Or point even???


Damit84

The people doing this to their cars think this looks "cool". But in reality they only like that look because they know no different since they were the second or third child and their bigger brother only ever gave them all the broken hot wheels that got stepped on by dad.


Frankie_T9000

This is a brillaint explanation


modthegame

Hotwheels are awesome.


govunah

Dad who stepped on them disagrees


PrawojazdyVtrumpets

Uncle who gave them to your kids laughs with joy. Remember that time you embarrassed me in front of my first girlfriend by coming up to me with Jergens and Tissues saying I left them in the bathroom? I hope it hurt.


mbash013

It’s always an extreme extension of something that was initially designed with practical purpose. For track cars, you want your tires tilted out a bit so that when you corner hard into a turn, the suspension flexes to the point where the tire tilt is now pretty flat to the pavement which gives maximum surface area hence traction when you need it most. Same thing with absurdly lifted trucks. Lifting a vehicle a proper amount for gaining some clearance when traversing terrains such as river beds or logging roads to get from point A to point B makes sense. Lifting a vehicle 18 inches and running 2 inch side walls on a pavement-princess truck is just useless clout.


Rillist

Racing Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements


Ok-Fox1262

And it's graduated from track cars to cack cars.


erfarr

Yeah redditors love to talk shit on lifted trucks but a truck with a 2-3” lift and some off road tires and small wheels is actually very practical for getting places. But it’s these idiots with the rubber band tires and a 12” lift that give trucks a bad name. That shit is useless off-road


blacklabel131

It's the equivalent of those people that wear their pants halfway down their legs and struggling to walk cause it looks 'thug'


Midnight_heist

I got in a 'fight' with one of those morons once. It wasn't really a fight. I just lurched forward and yanked his pants down to his ankles (about 3 inches from where he was wearing them) and gave him a little push. He fell onto his back and then lost a bunch of stuff out of his pockets when he tried to quickly pull his pants up. He tried to come at me again, this time holding this pants up with his left hand so I slapped the left side of his face. When instinctively let go of his pants to protect his face I yanked down his pants and pushed him over again. At this point his friend begged me to stop because he was laughing so hard.

Entire_Caregiver9687

I watched a guy crossing 5 lanes of traffic at very busy intersection one day “sagging” his sweat pants down under his butt cheeks…cell phone up to his head with one hand…other hand clenching the waistband of his sweats…in a half skip, half jog as he crossed the street without getting hit. It was quite comical to watch…

ChiefTestPilot87

Worse than the SLAB culture in Houston or Carolina squat?


bdjsowksnfbdnsnsk

No way, these guys aren’t even really a danger to other people on the road. They can’t get on the road Worst thing that these losers do is get stuck…constantly. There’s actually way more of these cars than anyone realizes, but 80% of them are stuck on driveways, curbs, and trailers


DubTeeF

And one of them burnt down, it was definitely haters though, not mods done poorly.


DeadJello808

I've never heard of this. Do I want to know what SLAB is?

"Slow Loud and Banging" is what it stands for but it is also those really long ridiculous rim hub...I dunno what to call them...steel teepees(?)...that stick out like 2 feet.

Carolina squat is now illegal in the Carolinas, good riddance The trend is dying off     *Edit: the guy arguing with me doesn't even know what a Carolina Squat is, he's arguing because he's got nothing better to do https://scdps.sc.gov/DrivinginSC/carolina-squat >Effective November 12, 2023, it will be illegal to operate a "squatted" vehicle on South Carolina roads (SC Code Section 56-5-4445).   North Carolina - [The 'Carolina Squat' is now illegal on North Carolina's roads](https://www.npr.org/2021/12/03/1061200749/carolina-squat-squatted-trucks-suvs-illegal-north-carolina)     *Edit x2: he reported me to the mods because I hurt his feelings, lol, fuck that ass clown and fuck the mods, they both can eat my shit.


hahayes234

What if you could build the ultimate vehicle that included all 3....SSS...stance, squat, slab. Would be something to behold


sec713

While slabs are silly looking, they're the least dangerous trend out of the bunch. The rims on those things will get broken off before they can do any real damage. Carolina squat is far and away the worst because the drivers literally can't see the road in front of them.


2oonhed

No. Swangas ARE a wheel. If they clip something with them it gets damaged and/or the whole wheel breaks off. They are not just a stick-on or clip-on decoration.


Dimev1981

Yeah those are bad too but this is horrendous, sounding and looking.


shark260

They're having a great time...

Filixx

Skid plates


Twitchifies

Skid plates and engine/transmission raise In this thread: “I DONT UNDERSTAND IT SO ITS STUPID AND MAKES ME MAD!!!!! 😡”


SomePeopleCall

Just because it takes a lot of effort doesn't make it less stupid. To be (a bit) fair, this is just another way to signal that you have the money and/or time to throw at something pointless. Other examples: - The hat crowd that leaves the stickers on. - The lifted trucks, either with rubber-band tires that make no sense for a truck or off-road tires that shouldn't be on asphalt. - PC builds tricked out with custom cases and lighting. - Having a pristine garage full of tools that never get used. - Having a perfect lawn.


thedezz

A lot of these cars are at the end of their life. The registration cost to renew them is super high so they stance them out like this and drive around for fun. Once it comes time to renew they just abandon or scrap them. There are some of these cars that have no floor pans, kinda funny tbh.


VerStannen

So leaving the tires stickers on is the new thing now huh. Welp ok.


Blue_Moon_Rabbit

With the uneven wear that comes from this stupid trend it’s probably not worth the time and effort when they’ll just be replacing them soon enough


ReaperOne

Like every month or so


stevens_hats

When the tires wear out in a week, and the center of the tread never even touches the ground, maybe it's a cool-badge of 'look new tires'? Like people leaving stickers on the brim of a hat? I dunno to each their own but I will never understand the stance thing.


no-personality-here

It’s to flex camber, tires lasts a year at least for most since these cars mostly only go to car shows


DaymanTargaryen

It's not a new thing, it's just a bit silly. They're designed to wear off. If I had to guess, it's just a simple way to "prove" the tires are new and haven't been worn down for stance.


VerStannen

Oh ok. I figured it was a way to show off how stanced it was, like so splayed you can see the stickers.


hispaniccheeses

I think it's this for sure


Yeomanroach

Prius made me lol


Gh0stp3pp3r

They looked squished or crushed, not cool. It's equivalent to having your pants hang low under your butt. Even though it looks silly, you still do it for attention.


Murky-Plastic6706

Which wears out first? Tires? Halfshafts? Bumper hardware?


moopet

patience?


jonathanrdt

Tires, whatever else is rubbing the ground, suspension bushings. These are the same folks who get addicted to cosmetic surgery: a little can do wonders but too much looks absolutely ridiculous.


saphirenx

I was going to say tires, as so many of these cars still had stickers on the tread. But now I'm thinking that might be a flex; that the stickers never wear off due to the extreme camber they're running.


gfen5446

Usually tires because everything is reduced to a tiny little contact patch along the edge. They're not just "stanced" but they're also "stretched" where they take a tire too small for the rim and blow it out so it is unnaturally stretched wide. Also a ton of spacers to get their wheels to poke out that much. It's a shitshow.


havok0159

[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjNku8U5NbA) may help you understand just what stancing does to a car.


Nicholas7907

What's funny, most of those car would actually look good... without those dumb wheels.


Murky-Plastic6706

So true


Psych0matt

I’m a fan of lowered cars, just looks better imo, but not with sideways wheels and scraping the front end off like those YouTube videos of sanding an action figure down to nothing.


XNamelessGhoulX

Anything more than a slight drop looks poopoo imo. When I was young slammed cars were all the rage but thank fuck most ppl grow out of that phase lol


Psych0matt

That’s pretty much what I’m saying, an inch or two, not necessarily slammed. My daily is on drop springs so it sits a bit lower, but nothing egregious. Though I am currently having a rubbing issue on big bumps due to a broken rim and having a wider wheel in for the time being but correct size it has never been an issue. I also live in Michigan where it’s a dumb to do it but I didn’t say I was smart…


Nagoda94

Where I live Toyota crowns are like a luxury statement. It breaks my heart to see so many of them in this state.


fucked-your-cats-ass

Good way to remove rust underneath your car and everything else. Who needs a grinder when you can do this


nowforever13

Had a guy that worked for me at a parts store, he had a straight piped straight shift 350Z that was slammed and stanced beyond belief. He had to replace the tires every 3 weeks, and every time he came to work he would rev the piss out of it, and tore his bumper off on the speed bump. He would get mad and bitch but we would bully him to within a very close margin of verbal harassment. He eventually sold it. This trend is stupid


WorstHyperboleEver

Most of these cars are shitboxes but that’s a crime to do to a 350Z.


Zoloir

this has gotta be the most genius idea that body + tire shops have come up with to drive up sales i've ever seen park a slammed/stanced car at the shop, never drive it off the smooth as butter lot, make people think it's worth shelling out for, then you've got a super loyal and consistent customer on your hands!! because they know you'll get their car back """fixed""" after they fuck it up


oopfoo

Generally_Supportive

AggravatingGoal4728

Cminor420flat69

Lowering the stance of or colloquially “slamming” the car is for aesthetics and is just a silly fad. It in no way enhances the car but it’s just a style people with too much money want for their car. It’ll be over with in a few years.


willy1670

TheGozd

MrrQuackers

Wait, is leaving the stickers on your tires a thing now for tools? Like leaving the sticker on your ball cap?


hispaniccheeses

No time to take them off when your going through tires weekly


BoondockUSA

Probably to show off how much “stance” (camber) they have. If the stickers aren’t worn off, it shows that the center of the tire isn’t contacting the ground.


Flowchart83

Is this something you can win? What then? What happens when you accomplish your goal of... whatever this is? You just make it less functional of a car while looking really stupid.


Agitated-Fee-1399

Camber wheels are dumber than a kindergartener taking a college course. Just doesn’t work. In their minds, they are pimpin, but in reality, they are gimpin.


Freak_Engineer

I always thaught "Ricers" were the most retarded, car related group (closely followed by those few who "do it" with car tailpipes for some reason). Then, I stumbled upon "stance"...

It’s like a parade of idiots. The fact that they actually paid money to make their car near undrivable and loud has always baffled me.

I worked as a service writer at a small time dealership one time and my buddy had an ‘02 Impreza that had a camber kit on it. He wanted us to align it. When he brought it in, we did the best we could but told him he needed new tires because of the camber kit. He would not accept what I had told him because all the forums he read online said that having camber like that doesn’t affect tire wear in any way. Sure buddy. The inside of your tires are going to wear the same as the outside that isn’t even on the ground.
