OT: Did someone say lowered?

[gale]

I drive past this juiced Caddy almost every afternoon on the way home from work, finally stopped & took a picture for it's "cleanliness" value. He literally rests it on the ground when parked:

that gives a new meaning to "skid steer".

[winfred]

that thing needs it's top chopped to get into proportion, TOO MUCH GLASS it'd look better if they didn't design the hood and trunk lines above the side glass, or side glass below the hood and trunk

The LR3 isn't an airbag suspenion, it's still hydraulic, same as my Disco II with ACE

ya gotta luv it when someone would spend a grand on wheels, another grand on slamming the car to the ground, and then refuse to invest $40 in a missing door moulding. Right now there is an engineer in Detroit scratching is head saying, " we spent several days calculating spring rates and shock valving to determine a compromise between ride comfort and handling, and this guy decides a Cadillac should ride like Santa's sled." People never seize to amaze me with their ignorance and stupidity.

but "ignorant and stupid", maybe you should give them a call or check their credentials to determine that one. If he/she enjoys the project/result and isn't $hitting on your ride, let them be happy. I’ve seen some nasty crap, but don't need to be childish about it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, in a perfect world:)

No offence intended,

i seriously doubt any engineer in detroit was capable of creating a decent suspension heheheh
jk of course they prolly know what they're doing, but that car has an
adjustable suspension that'll raise and lower it, so its not ruined per se

[632 Regal]

Thats the good side PML!

I do admire that missing moulding though... was so astonished at the look I didnt see that!

(I still wouldnt get cought pimpin in that sled)

[Dash01]

Ignorant and stupid people don't do spell checks, either!

From your earlier post today...


used an airbrush to do touchup of rock chips, scrattches, and dings?

:D

I'm probably one of the worst on spelling at this place.

Here we go again. I comment on something, and I get attacked by everyone. And it's not even their car that I'm commenting about. I guess this truly is THE United States. All I'm saying is that life is a game of inches when it comes to cars. Stop 5 feet short of the obsticle in front of you and you may need to change your shorts. Hit that obsticle, and you may need to learn to eat out of a straw, or learn to walk with a wheel chair. I'm all for "customizing" a car. But when I have to share the same road with a guy who just made his car MORE dangerous simply because he likes the way it looks, I get a little skepticle of what's ok, and what's not. Maybe when you lose a loved-one to a SUV with 24" tires you'll change your mind about "customizing" a car and making it less safe for PUBLIC roads. The irony here is that I never commented on the "Style" of the @#%^ing car, just the fact that it is now more likely to breakdown or be involved in a collsion. All this from a place where guys are inquiring about wheel weights, brake components, and shock/spring combinations to enhance the performance of a car.

I don't think it's the tire that kills... im more inclined to say it MIGHT be the 5000lb vehicle.. but im no professional.

Newblet

I remember getting my ass kicked a couple years ago...Its like there is phases that happen, someone will make a comment, someone replies, someone gets offended and THEN the fun starts. Nya Nya you spelled that wrong....you dont use your spacebar, this goes on for a few weeks and then everyone goes back to normal.

I like it when you get the REAL "Newblets" with like 4 posts telling everyone that were doing everything wrong.

AnywaysIthinkthemissingspacebarpostswerethebest.

I believe the terminology is :
Bling Bling Bi-arch!! Scope out my Dope Ride, Boy-ee!!

"Yes, its a ride... Yes you are a DOPE!!" Maybe smoking too much dope inspired this ride??

misaligned trunk lid :)

Is that a platinumized gang symbol on the back of that thing?

[632 Regal]

Trunk lid??? what the hell is that front end from?

[pundit]

Ahhh it's all just another small piece of the fabric that makes up the rich tapestry of life!... Glad I got that over with... Can I throw up now? :p

I think these blinged out dope dealers are caused by a genetic anomaly.
A defect in their chromeosomes! :D

At least the owner of that...umm... Creation, decided against trying to whack Roundels on it too!! Perhaps an uneducated person wouldn't recognise the E46 tailights...

Not so lucky for this one:
