uh... i dont know what these guys are thinking... i guess they smoke ALOT of crack... because they are acuatlly proud that there cars hit the floor and sparks fly everywhere...?


scraping cars...

 

you havent spent any time around street trucks have you??? that a real common thing to do. all it is is block of titanium (usually) mounted underneath the truck and thats whats causin the spark. not the body or frame. no damage to the truck.

 

Awesome to see on a low rider or truck when on the street. I seen someone in a custom old school lincoln. It was so badass.

 

Along with different types of metal you can use to get different color sparks you can also turn your hitch ball upside down and drag that. I have seen it all lol

A friend of mine has a show car with air and we drag ball all the time, actually welded a nut on the fram for the ball so no parts of the car would touch ...its fun and great for videos haha.

 

Think its so damn dumb, but its popular everywhere now...whole car shows devoted to them!

 

are you SERIOUS!?! this is the most stupid thing i've ever seen... the scraping of the crap on the ground is ghetto.... and i would make sure id impound there car and give them a huge ticket if i ever caught them doing it on base....

 

I guess its all a matter of opinion, the same guys probably think our mustang habits are stupid, but they just let us do our thing. BTW, cops give us big fines and impound our cars for loud exhaust sometimes...lol so it goes both way. I personally would never do it, cause I think it looks dumb as well, but if thats what there into, whatever.

 

are you a cop? if you are you would know they're not doing anything illegal by scraping the ground. the only time a cop can say anything is if it damages the road. other than that it's legal.

 

there are sparks flying everywhere on the road...

how the hell is that not illegal

 

I was taping my friend when he was doing it and we passed a cop...He looked but didnt pull him over. You can see some **** I have taped here http://oak.cats.ohiou.edu/~ar366503/.../CelicaVid.wmv

 

i am not a "cop" i am a Military Police Officer in the Marine Corps... and i would DEFINITLY impound any Marines car that did this crap on base... theres PLENTY of violations they are making by creating that much sparking...

as for the cop that let you guys slide... he was problly preoccupied or just a REALLY nice guy...

 

id pour gasoline behind me and spark the end if some retarted cop tried pulling me over for something like that.

 

He probably didn't care. Now don't get me wrong you can't do this **** with any car like a mustang. pretty much just leave it to a few imports and mostly mini trucks. It is part of the mini truck lifestyle.

Mini truckers look at muscle car guys and ask why the spend 4 grand on a supercharger when they could buy air ride and paint for the same amount. It's all a matter of opinion.

I would consider myself to be on both sides of the spectrum here, I love it all but I would never cross the two and drag my stang...ewwwww lol

 

im in the Air Force.(i know----dont say it) the Cops on base here can blow my ***. some snot nose 18 year old kid thinks he rules the world when hes a cop in the military, and ill be damned the day that same kid will tell me i was peeling out on base and take me to jail.(i had a run in with quite a few)
all i did was pull 2500RPM's out of my car, not even giving it any gas. was not hot rodding by any means. my exhaust is loud. and this punk tried to impound my car, arrest me, give me a ticket for reckless driving, speeding(i was going about 10MPH), and get my driving privliages on base taken away.

no disrespect for you man--but damn--base cops here are for the most part jerks. they look for trouble. and i dont. ive never had a ticket before, and do not plan on it anytime soon. hell---i dont even speed, and i have over 500HP.

end rant. this all happened yesterday.

 

haha. well i feel sorry for you brother... (for more then one reason)... haha just kidding... well thats the whole air force deal... i do see alot of PFC boots who get out of MP school and wanna start dealing out marshall law and crap... but i am a LCPL and i dont play that game... you guys problly know "RaginRoush" hes a popular Mustang owner and belongs to a bunch of forums... well i work garrison at Pendleton Base and he brings his Roush there sometimes and its HELLA loud... awesome Marine though.


as far as the car situation goes... you can pick and choose who you wanna let off with a warning... and these guys who "scrape" the floor would definitly get more then a warning, just because i dont like that stuff. but hey "whatever floats your boat, i guess...."


and MattJ "thinks" hes gonna pour gasoline on the floor and light it... -_- haha! you got more to worry about then a simple ticket, if thats the kind of attitude you have.

 

LMFAO matt your so ****in cynical i love it! **** that **** though, yeah it's def. illegal, those sparks can **** up their rear tires causing them to get in a wreck, hence they'd get pulled over. I hate white trash trucks like that...why the hell do people think thats cool...it's soo DAmn UGLY! Look at the damn thing, Send it back to mexico!YUCK i'd rather drive a ****in Toyota Camery then that POS...

 

mp's are different, completely different rules (im in the army btw). you could probably give the guy a ticket but a non military police officer could not unless its damaging the road or endangering somebody around them. if these kids are doing it in a parking lot or an empty road then they're not doing anything illegal. they used to do it here right on one of the main strips and the cops would just watch until somebody started doing something stupid.

 

sparks can **** up their rear tires? you dont know much about these trucks do you?

thats one of the most ignorant things i've heard you say...

 

In the video, the sparks are flying from infront of the rear wheels...ur talkin about thousands of sparks over a long time hitting rubber? you don't think that'll cause a problem eventually?

Let alone when they hit a pot hole LMFAO and bend a rim. Or crack somethin underneath...


LoL no thats just my expert opinion. LoL if you like those low rider trucks then be my guest, but I think they're rediculously ugly and remind me of why my parents left South America...

I mean WHYYYY! I just don't see how dragging your truck on the ground is fun? this isn't south compton L.A. lol

 

sparks wouldnt hurt the tires, and a pothole would **** up my car just as bad as one of theirs.

and if you dont like them thats fine, a lot of people dont. but at the same time a lot of people think fast cars are a waste of time, and mustangs are a bigger waste of time. i guess you just wouldnt understand unless you were around these kinda people

it's what they're into... whatever floats your boat ya know.

 

Preach it brother floppy! I agree with you 110%

 

i pretty much agree with you but... i guess you cant be so vocal about your opinions... when it comes down to it you just gotta go with the "whatever floats your boat" opinion. its like... the whole "paul wall" guy... (a white rapper) he grew up around all black people somewhere in the south and now acts like them... so i guess its all about who you grow up and hang around...

 

he can be as vocal as he wants, you know, freedom of speech. but when he starts calling them white trash trucks and pos's expect to hear somebody defend them. all im saying is people are quick to judge but wont bother trying to find out why somebody likes the things they like. why bother right? its easier just to make fun of it...
