WTF'nF**K?!

[Elhuero]

insert derogatory comment about minorities here

[glockedandloaded]

yea i mean if you hate mexicans so much get out of the USA

[Robby30-06]

In Minnesota no less, just in time for winter. Those low profile tires oughta do awesome in the snow[ROFL1]

[Robby30-06]

Oh yeah and what a fuggin waste of a good Chevelle[Rant2]

[Ah Pook]

I don't get it.:confused:

Then again, I don't get monster trucks on the road either.

[Atrain1]

That is just wrong, that is why I will not sell my car I like to think I saved her from that or being lowered with 12 inch spoke wheels that stick out 4 feet on each side.

[Byte Stryke]

Just as bad are the HUGE lifted 1-ton diesel trucks on large shiny "Donk" rims with skinny off-road tread tires

The only thing more ridiculous then seeing those things on the road...is the owners will never even THINK about taking them OFF road lol

[Irving]

Well, I wouldn't think of taking that PowerStroke off road either. It probably has zero articulation, and wouldn't be able to fit anywhere.

[spyder]

I know this is the "why the hell would you do that to your vehicle" thread, but I wanted to take the time to say that I want to do this to my Volvo:

Ya, I could have put that damn design to use so many times already. Luckily the AWD has gotten me out of some pretty stupid places as it is.

[theGinsue]

I ws thinking the same thing - totally bastardized a (pre-mod) gorgeous classic car.

ETA: That Volvo is NICE!

yeah no joke, that sure is a swanky petrol can.

[patrick0685]

sadly i have seen cars like that

[Troublco]

There are a lot of cars that you could do that to (that no one would care about) without totally ruining a classic SS Chevelle....just sayin.

[spyder]

[ROFL1]
Hey I need something that seats 7, gets decent mileage, can do 80 over the passes, and go just a few more places than I can right now in my grocery getter. That fits the bill perfectly.




And it's a manbag for you're information...

[theGinsue]

Ya, word!

(How the heck are you Trouble? Really missing you around deez parts!)

Erm, "European Shoulder Bag". A manbag is what most of us have just north of the taint.

[Graves]

That's pretty much my point, I've been looking around for a nice fixer upper LS6 and they ain't cheap. These clown mobiles on 26" wheels usually get a laugh out of me but a chevelle...a super sport chevelle?? C'mon.

[Troublco]

If I ever see a C2 vette done like that....I'm not responsible for my response. Just warning any transgressors in advance....

And so as not to derail this thread, Ginsue, I'll respond to you over in your home area....the post whore thread![ROFL1]

While I agree that unusable lifts like the one Pook posted, and unusable wheel/tire setups like Byte's, big lifts and tires DO have their place.

Here's an old truck of mine, used heavily on and off the pavement....

To give you an idea of the size, those tires are Michelin XMLs (used on the Army's Strykers IIRC), 46" tall... only 24" shorter than I am. My head was right around the bottom of the door handles.
It did have a legit purpose though, after winter when the snow melts the ranch pretty much turned into a swamp and this is the only practical way to get across it.



Also, there are times that putting a lift and large tires on a car is perfectly acceptable [Tooth]

There's a guy somewhere close to my neighborhood that drives a Monte Carlo or something with like 26" rims on it. Looks just as ridiculous as the OP picture.

Helps reduce drag when running over zombies. [LOL]

[BigBear]

If it's for a utilitarian purpose such as crossing swampy land on a ranch or a "sport" like rock crawling then fine. But just as something to drive down your road.... In my humble opinion, it's just stupid. I could think of better ways to spend (or save) the money. Same goes for lowering a vehicle or putting on a muffler that's louder than a f-14 in afterburn.

[Cman]

Dumb, just plain dumb!

you missed the point of what I was saying...
I Agree there is a place for trucks like yours... you go off-road and its obvious and suited for this.
If you were to hit a rock off-road or a pothole your rim would not shatter like a pretzel under a fat woman.
You have tire.

I was stating that the practicality of those skinny tires with off road tread (I hesitate to call the off-road tires) on top of an over-sized shiny chrome rim is a joke.

I have seen one of these with a shattered rim and the guy way crying (Literally), I Just kept on up the hill in my stock-ass blazer with my show-nothing rims.

[Ah Pook]

Air down one of those skinny tires to 7lb and see how much more traction ya get. :p

I've seen a Monte Carlo with the "lift kit", big rims, and low profile tires off of Santa Fe and it looks rediculous. However, the person(s) that did that to the Chevelle need to be strung up!!! I almost cried when I saw that picture!!! [Rant1]
