You don't have to worry about wheel well clearance when you lower it?

Where's your silver lining man? At least on a car with rear disc brakes, it would be easier to inspect em without removing the wheels.

(much) less body lean, until you broke the axle.

looks like a stub axle that bolts to both the hub of the axle and then to the wheel.. extending the axle another 2 feet on either side.. scary if one broke. I bet the lug studs were not happy.. or the bearings

After seeing the dumbest things automotively possible become trends, I now predict that the next trend will be cutting brake rotors (or drums!) to say things like "Big Pimpin."
Who else has a guess?

It's the obvious continuation of the lowrider look, really. I can't wait for the next step - driver-controlled track-width.

my friend dave started that trend back in 1983. His lifted 1973 chevrolet pickup had this on one side when he looked in the mirror and saw his 38" ground hawg moving outward.
bad bearings?

I've seen that before, only it was a Cherokee with C-clip axles

Haven't been in Baltimore, have ya? I've seen equally absurd. Only reason you don't see that here is the cops would seize it.

Remember folks, these are Saudi's. Any Saudi who has got money, more than likely has got TONS of money, no job, and spends unknown hours figuring out one more way to boggle our minds.
Whether its buying personal jumbo jets, cruise liners, high priced estates in California and Switzerland...whatever...if it requires money to do something over-the-top and completely ridiculous, a Saudi will do it.
Naw I'm playing, he's just having fun.

Nice GNX!

Nah, that isn't a GNX, just a Grand National. It looks like it isn't even one of the fast ones. (probably a 84) IIRC they blacked out the trim on the later (intercooled) cars, and the grille was all black on the GNX.
although that grille looks very happy just the way it is

ok, that video was just another example of a good car getting ruined.
