According to the license plate shown in one of the photos, the owner clearly expects that females will actually be repulsed by the appearance of his vehicle...or maybe just him...or both.

I don't really like the cars, but the Audi in the OP has inspired my next license plate.

I find the term "stanced" kind of amusing and have been reflecting on all the terms through the years for changing the cars "stance" from stock. That is why I find it hard to criticize these cars, but they are amusing.
In the 50s, they "lowered" or "Dagoed" (front end low, back end high) them, and I did that to my 57 Fury in the mid 60s. Then in the 60s, to emulate the "gassers" and "funny cars" at the drag strip, we "jacked" them, usually with the front higher than the rear. I was poor, and remember putting a piece of 2x4 between the rear end and frame before I could swing a set of "air shocks" for the back of my 64 Barracuda. I cranked the torsion bars all the way up, and the car rode like crap . It was also cool to paint the wheel wells and running gear white, with little light bulbs up in there to show it off at night. Then in the 80s, it started to become cool to "slam" them and that is what I would call most of these pictures, SLAMMED. I had my 10 second Barracuda slammed as much as possible, and still have the ladder bars work. Fun stuff, and I know some of these cars have air ride suspensions so they can raise them up when they are going to actually go some place. |

Hang on, there was a sweet '59 Caddy at Greaserama last year. I'll see if I can dig up the picture.
Found it.

While driving to work this morning, I was behing some 2 door M3 BMW...and holy shit it sounded HEALTHY. I'm talking a combo of Covevette and Ferrari. Got on the highway; we were around 60mph, he changed lanes and punched it - gone. like, 'gone' in a quick way.
It sounded even better when we turned on to the on-ramp. No idea what kind it was. Had sort of a bump on the hood; kick ass big (not reeruned big) wheels; low profile; dual-quad-tipped exhaust. man.....I spent the rest of the drive wondering what it would be like to have a car that bad ass.

Hometeam nailed it. There is a difference between Classy stance and ricer stance.
Classy stance leaves a little fender gap, isn't cambered, and can successfully drive on the street. Ricer stance can't go over a speed bump. |

That is a 60 I believe Radar, not a 59.
