    i think driving slammed is stupid anyway. it is great for shows and maybe driving around in a meet but for the guys that do it on their DD it is stupid and not worth the hassle

        Then are you ok with taking out other people when those bolts grind down past that last little bit of the head when you're doing 60 on the highway surounded by other cars?

        Extreme to where the performance of the car is degraded is one thing, I can see people only wanting a look, but extreme to where it is mechanically unsafe is another. Sure you can be responsible for your own demise but a car is a big responsibility because in the process of removing yourself from the gene pool, you can take others with you who don't wish to be along for the ride.

                      those are mostly rarely driven, high attention-to-detail cars. he's talking about normal guys with normal cars that they just slam to the ground. not everyone that does that pays attention to every part of their car.

                        yup. If the cars aren't from SoCal, where the roads and weather are perfect; they only see the trip from the trailer to the showbooth. They aren't real DD all condition cars.

                              unfortunately California and Los Angeles has been noted for the worse maintained streets in the U.S. In fact we have a hot line for crews to just spend days filling up pot holes! Then if a road is ever repaved...the day after it cures..another company rips it up for their lines, Slammed cars here are NOT a daily seen occurrence....only at car shows and a few who don't care to take them apart by driving LA.
