Unless their cars are lower than stock. Ok then.

Lots of cars look better lower than stock.

So, if I load my car up with heavy boxes and a few friends, I won't be accepted? :(

Well, I think some cars looks much better with lowered suspension. For example, JDM Minivans like the JDM Odyssey.

I'll accept you if you paint penis' all over a stock neon if you like it. I might cringe, but I'll accept you.

Slightly offended because I owned a stock first-gen neon. But, my ex owns it, so here's to acceptance!! *pulls out magnum marker*

I would say that it's more a matter of "Accept everyone that hasn't ruined the car in their care". It's easier to proof. Does the person in questions car do anything measurably better after the modifications. If yes, continue. If no, kick them in the ball (they undoubtedly have only one) and take their Oppo card.
You seem to think Oppo/Jalop is a community of enthusiasts. Really it's a region of warring clans of fanbois.

I was about to be really annoyed but I really read what you were saying and yes, I agree. My buddy's Beetle is lowered and it handles way better than stock, and when he's done with the engine modifications it'll have a higher power to weight than a Corvette ZR1.

You're being way over sensitive.
Exibit A: This is stupid.
Exibit B: This is not.
Why you might ask? Because with exibit A you're taking what was a high preformace car and fucking up everything highpreformance related on it. I think the common theme on Oppo is that any mod is fine as long as it serves a functional purpose and is not a "OMG LOOK AT ME BROOO!" mod. See also Oppo's hate of Bro trucks ect...
Exibit B is effing awesome because it was lowered for the right reasons, improving the cars preformance.

No, we're always accepting of what people like, whether we're crazy about the idea or not. You guys have just been unrelenting lately.
I've never even heard of you, Mr. Jesus' Appointed Oppo Guide.

Lowness, bitchez.
Camber alterations and bringing the wheels near rub with the outer body, however, can bite me, as can actual scraping.

I had to try to race a Wolfsburg for a while and it was worthless with a lot of power. Anything beyond 300HP was just wasted with under steer, torque steer, etc. Other than a drag race, the cars performance didn't change hardly at all for the power added because as the power increased the turbo lag and wheel spin increased.
The FWD handicap is hard to overcome. AWD is better, but then you get into the breaking things department and it's not cheap ordering so many parts from Germany ;)

You mean a Wolfsburg Beetle right? Like the original Beetle? You know those are RWD right?

No, I mean like a Wolfsburg Jetta. When they offered the early turbo with Recaros.

Go ahead. Ruin your car. I don't care.*
* I do care when you take one of the best handling sports cars available (like an S2000 or a Miata) and take away the best thing about it by modifying it within an inch of actually working as a car. See also: 4x4 pickups or SUVs, lowered and on low-profile tires.

Lower than stock is completely different than "stanced" or whatever the correct term is...

So you agree with 90% of my statement but with the caveat of accepting the destruction of low quality/generic vehicles?

I try to live and let live, but it really pains me to see an automobile's main trait or primary ability ruined on account of "style".
Regardless of what the car was originally meant to do well. I'm most interested in sports cars, so seeing their inherent goodness damage pains me the most, but I think taking a big Lexus luxo-barge and putting firm suspension, big wheels and low profile tires is nearly as bad. Maybe it looks better to some, but at what cost?

Is he keeping it somewhat "sleeper"? Love the idea of a little giant-killer.
