Probably blipped the throttle to show off for the camera and lost whatever sliver of grip those stanced tires were providing.

You can see the back of the car start to come towards the camera man, he countersteers and probably lifts, the car grips back up and snaps back the other way

add to that a coilover setup with zero actual travel and you've got a recipe for fun if you hit even the slightest bump going round anything resembling a corner.

stock 86 will not do that under throttle on a dry road so his setup is borked

I absolutely love my car but there are so many loving morons that drive it.

For some reason stancing (spelling?) them is super popular and I just cringe every time I see it.

the stance thing is really popular regardless of the model i think because its cheaper/easier to do than even putting on whatever riced out bodykits that are usually done with it. ebay4lyfe

It's a cheap sports car. It attracts high schoolers who have no idea what they want in a car, so they do everything. Same deal with Miatas.

More of how they attract idiots. I swear the only thing I see as often than a 3 series BMW weaving between lanes on a highway is a Maxima or Chrysler 300.

There are probably good owners of them out there, but I can think of the last 3-4 most heinous driving bullshit events I've encountered on my commute and it's been an Acura RDX every single time. I think the vehicle attracts a special type of rear end in a top hat with no concern for their own or anyone else around them's safety with a dose of nastiness on top of it.

e: like if I was still dating and not married and a girl told me she drove an RDX I'd walk out kind of deal.

babbys first sports car is my name for it

it is the only car I have that I could daily, run hot laps and try and try to get sideways, but I’m an idiot with a faster hot lap car, a faster sideways car and a faster daily so it’s not out of hate, just neglect that I talk poo poo on them

also seeing what other people are doing to ruin them makes me sad

lol the Neon vs Cobalt wars were the best radioshack tier stoplight racers

i was probably like 15 when the first F&F movie came out so i got to witness a lot of people my age get their first car during that time. it was mostly the honda crowd that were nuking their engines using ebay parts and crazy spoilers.

before that it seemed like everyone in my area wanted the mid 90's gold maximas though.

the worst car people i've ever encountered have been the TRD/scion people. they're the type of people that brag about how they flipped their car on a major highway with every passenger seat full while the rest of use are still trying to figure out if the tC they're talking about is a celica or not

I was a Honda kid in the sense that I was a kid who happened to drive a Honda. Mine was a 2G Prelude SE so it was old and undesirable to the riceroni crew. That poo poo was kinda already dying by 2005ish though.

The current Commodore is a rebadged Opel Insignia, just like the Buick Regal.

Therefore you should be putting Buick Regal badges on the Chevy SS

One of my coworkers had a SS and he put a Malibu badge on it. He said it made cars and coffee entertaining.

Checks out.
Technically, it's a Caprice SS.
:goonsay:

Yes, I know the Caprice is the longer-wheelbase Commodore, and that's what the PPV cop car is.

edit:
Dammit, I can't decide whether to hate this because of what goes in the crusher, or love it because of what comes out. drat well better be CGI, though.
