\\ Post Your Car vol. Been a minute //

let's find a new car to bash on, let's move on from the Supra

:nerd:

American "muscle"
















:nerd:
400
 
1000


Sold my boy my set of rim and tire from my e92 ///M that was rotting away in my garage for years, for $400 :lol:

Dude left happy as ever, like 10k on the tires and rims. OEM 18" gunmetal's and Michelin PS2 tires. He has a 330xi

Wait... You have a M3 sedan sitting in your garage you don't even drive?...
 
We can talk about spinners and those cars from Texas.



I actually have a lot of respect for slabs. There's so much history behind their styling, history that even many slab riders are unaware of.
Slabs are often a way of formerly impoverished people showing the world they have made it. The classic elements of a slab are representative of a time when only the extremely wealthy could afford transportation. The majority of their style goes back to horse drawn carriages.


The "84" style wire wheels are a throwback to wagon wheels.

The 5th and sometimes 6th wheel mounted on the bumper or trunk is inspired by the spare wagon wheels that were stored on a carriage.

The belts and buckles on the trunk are representative of the literal "trunks" that were mounted to the back of a carriage using leather straps.

The vinyl coach tops are a throwback to the olden days carriages only covered the passenger from the elements and the Coachmen aka driver was left exposed.

The limousine style lights often seen on the sides of the vinyl tops represent the candelabras or lanterns that were mounted on the sides of carriages.



That said... The true slab seems to be in decline. Now most of the the slabs you see are typically cars with a candy paint job, some 84s and not much else.

Why da supra got dudes in their feels, though? :lol:

:lol: It's just hard for some people to accept that someone may not like what they do.



The Supra's a car that's been put on a pedestal by a lot of people and fanboys always get their panties in a bunch when someone speaks critically of the car.


I mean, I was talking about the dudes bashing the car.


Don't eem see the point of it.


It's one thing to have an opinion on something, it's another thing to insult .

Absolutely agree bro.  The automobile is one of man's greatest engineering innovations and I see beauty in so many cars out there.  I always wonder why the most vocal critics in this thread usually never post their own cars for others to enjoy.

I never understand what that has to do with having an opinion on something. Its an internet forum. How do you remember who has and who hasnt posted their car?
