    even worse are modern american cars, they look like they have breathing issues and are so hideously oversized that people are literally backing over their kids on their own driveways

      Frontovers, not backing over. The hoods are so tall that they straight up run over their own kids in their own driveways, killing them, driving forwards.

    Honestly, that car looks like it finna collapse...

    If there's a style you shouldn't respect, despite it being perfectly fine to drive, it's one of those big-ass SUV trucks some people use...

    That's the type of car you use to run over people willingly, or accidentally, with its tall bumper height, and the type you should use MOSTLY in war...

    Car enthusiast here and hard disagree. I respect anyone willing to pursue aesthetic so hard even at the cost of practicality. I enjoy cars slammed so low that the rim is bending the fender out etc.

    At a certain point the car is sacrificed in the pursuit of some aesthetic point and I find that very amusing, and quite like it, even if it is practically "dumb". It's far stupider to get weird as hell about some very niche slice of car enthusiasts who bother doing this to this extreme.

    if it's fwd and/or an suv go ahead and have fun with that, I couldn't think less of them anyway

      Yes that's because they're on a track. When going quickly around the corner, the outside tire will receive a high lateral load roll so that it will have a "normal" contact patch. The inside tires do almost nothing anyway.

      But that's also not nearly this extreme.

    I vaguely remember learning about excessive camber being good for doing sick drifts and stuff, fucked if you hit a speedbump though.
