"Hellaflush"

So I have been seeing more and more of these stupid looking cars with their wheels ridiculously canted around here. I just looked it up and apparently it's called "hellaflush". it negatively affects the handling of the car, and looks like a newborn baby deer trying to walk for the first time. Who thought of this crap???

yup..I have been seeing them too. Mostly on Nissan 350Z and classic VW Beetles. VW Beetles can get away with that look since they don't go very fast anyway.

i don't think they're out to gain performance or handling... they are trying to get as low as you can go thus causing this ridiculous amount of negative camber.

Um... Is it bad (safety wise) for my tire to be tilted in that position?

Looks like a public road safety issue there. Shit, that makes even mexiflush and hellafail look good. Looks like a deer taking a shit!

^I can only imagine what type of fender damage is going to happen when you hit a pot hole or speed bump with that set-up.

Can't be as bad as your dignity damage. Lol

Apparently he already had a rear bumper issue.

Hellaflush/stanced is one of the dumbest things you can do to a car. It's been going on a long time now in the ricer community. There's actually meets and clubs of people that have this look........

That has to happen in states without inspections or state cops for that matter. That would never fly here in PA. Thank God. I can't believe how stupid society has become.

For some reason, I had one of these TurdBuckets want to race me on the Highway on the way home the other night. I could hear that thing scraping and bouncing off the payment!
