Yes, where you can enjoy automotive blasphemy such as this desecrated E46:
Beautiful, isn't it?

I admit, I do like it sometimes, but I do agree with those that say it looks stupid, broken suspension, drives like shit, etc.
I'd still do a bit of it to my car, if I had one.

I think there's a right and wrong way to stance. The MCM Street Cred Golf is excellent. But the majority of the culture that surrounds stance is just too far gone.

Yes, that is imo the right way to do it. But I also don't get the intentional rust look.
Oh, and:

Wow. That's exactly the culture I'm talking about. How can that be considered cool? it's madness.
The intentional rust, as explained by Moog, follows the Japanese philosophy of " wabi-sabi ", in that nature is intrinsic in the artists work.

I tend to like stance if it actually improves some part of the car i.e doesn't look tackier than a dollar store toy.

Stance is a dirty word, I hope it all goes away at some point. Proper suspension is an art.

I've been around for years too, albeit under several different screennames... I've been around for long enough to see your awesome posts!

Fact: Stance is secret government safety project to trick large numbers of owners of potentially fast and dangerous cars to modify them to be incapable of driving fast, some say its really to give business to crappy Chinese shock absorber conglomerates.

I have been quite busy lately, I had a few days at home with nothing to do so I have popped on. I have a project to finish up but I'm waiting for some parts. I have to go back to my original homeland for a bit as well before winter really hits. More recently I have found there are more and more people here that I just can't relate to, I am old but I think its more to do with some automotive practices that I just don't agree with. There are nice people, don't get me wrong, but I can't devote so much time, I find myself explaining myself for things that I don't believe I should! Haha.

Coolness is not measured in broken oil pans and tires worn out by anything other than hard driving. It's measured by a combination of aesthetics, performance, and quality. Personally, for me all three of those are the same. Form follows function. If it actually makes it go faster and more reliably, then it ends up looking cool as well, so I just pursue performance and everything comes along with it. These guys see the look derived from performance and try to emulate it. The look, not the performance. If they do try to emulate the performance, they do it by going for what looks right, not by what is right. It is often unintentionally a caricature of the actual performance vehicles: something that is so over-the-top that you'd think it would have to be a race car to be practical. That leads to bone-jarring suspension, broken wheels, worn tires, crushed oil pans, etc., etc. You don't have to sacrifice performance for coolness, but you do have to do some research and actually plan out your build to get a unified vehicle.

Sounds a little tedious. Hang in there, bud! Automotive practices may change, but Opponauts always listen... or read.

That Celica should never be brought up as an argument when talking about stupidity of stance since the owner has said that it was done to be a caricature of stanced car.
And here's my earlier comment regarding suspension:

Agreed.
I saw it sitting there, all starless. It wasn't right, man. It wasn't right. I had to do something. Two months old or not, that comment was getting starred.
