Disfigured Lexus; nice ground clearance...

Spotted this disfigured lexus yesterday in Santa Monica...

It's like an SUV without the 'Sport' or the 'Utility' --just the high center of gravity and compromised handling. My guess is he has about 1/2" of suspension travel until the tires contact the fenders.

The suspension was squeaking like a horse cart when he rolled past. I'm pretty sure the rears actually had slight *positive* camber on them. Because, you know, that'll help the cornering....

It was supposed to be the east coast answer to the west coast's low riders, but I guess that crap traveled back to the west coast.

Haha I'm seeing those examples almost everyday living in the dirty South, the difference being the cars usually cost WAY LESS than the wheels...

Come to think of it, I haven't seen any here in Denver yet; snows six months out of the year, so this, in theory, would be an ideal setup for Colorado.
