The Mazda is 10 out of 10 for extreme, but what's the point? How do you drive it?

It's been converted to a piece of jewellery. It's not meant to be dríven, it's meant to be looked at so all the other hektik slammed jdm bros can drool over how thin you've ground your chassis rails etc.

I think that tyre stretch is more extreme than the drop.

LOL slamming Russian style. No rushing over speed bumps. They have the desired effect.
Gawd I'm surprised no one came out with a baseball bat.

I don't get why people can't let people do what they wish with THEIR car? They spend the money and put the time
In . So what the hell does it matter? Let them be them and you be you . Very simple . Yea u may not enjoy what they r doing With their cars but still it's there's . You drive yours and they will drive theirs

As a general rule, sure. The problem comes when you have retards with 8 degrees of camber on 195 wide tyres stretched onto 10" rims, and without enough suspension travel to negotiate a cutout driveway. Nobody would care if it weren't for the fact that these people drive on the road like that.

This. I dont care what car you like or what mods you do for whatever reason, if you're happy then thats cool, but if you're car is impractical and unsafe to be dríven on the roads, then you are a danger to everyone else who drives the same roads.
