have to give them credit for understanding the geometry and mechanics for getting this to work and not just crumble under its own weight.

It didn't crumble under its own weight?

Well damn, I thought that was how stance started

All cars with duct tape on them look like this to me

The clear packing tape is the especially impressive part.

Oklahoma is a no-inspection state, so we have all manner of beat up crap on the roads.

No inspection? Just...none?

How do they regulate the safety and road-worthiness of vehicles, then?

None.

Uh... they don't.

From DMV.org:

Just as it doesn't require smog checks, Oklahoma doesn't require vehicle safety inspections, either; however, for the safety of you and others, it's in everyone's best interest to keep vehicles in great working order. Keeping tabs on your vehicle's maintenance also can help cut back on smog and emissions!

Depending on your experience level, there are a few issues you can regularly monitor yourself . For example:

Does your horn work properly?

Do your brake lights, taillights, headlights, and turn signal lights all work?

Is your license plate securely attached?

Are your tires properly inflated? Is the tread in good condition?

Are all of your mirrors, including your side view and rearview, properly affixed?

Other issues might be better left to a professional. For example, a professional auto repair technician can make sure:

All the fluids are at their proper levels. These fluids include oil, transmission, brake, radiator, power steering, and even windshield washer fluids.

The air filter is clean.

The brakes are in working order. (Of course, if you hear any squeaking when you use your brakes, bring your vehicle to a mechanic as soon as possible.)

Equipment such as the battery, spark plugs, and belts are functioning properly and isn't ready to be changed.

Your tires don't need rotated or changed.

What's going on with his tires? Why don't they cover the entire rim?

All the cool kids are doing it, apparently...

I think the term is "stretching". Completely for aesthetics.

I prefer to make my cars perform better, not worse, but I'm not a cool kid.

You're preaching to the choir. I haven't been cool ever since my kids reached their teenage years. The grandkids, at least for now, still enjoy my presence. Haha

I just don't see how individuals find this visually appealing. I keep thinking the wheels will snap off at any second.

Different strokes for different folks, as they say.

There have been many times when someone has refereed to that exhaust noise as a "weed whacker noise," but I think this video confirms it.
