That makes me cry. The color, & body of this car looks great. I don't care for the chrome grill. What the hell was he thinking wit a 10" lift & 26" wheels? Buy a d@mn truck for god sake if you want it in the sky.

That is painfull to look at.
...For the love of god someone save that poor car. What could it have possibly done to deserve such humiliation. :dunno: It's kinda weird that the hip hop crowd is now sporting southern 4X4 redneck style.

Could be worse - they could be enlarging the wheel openings instead of just lifting the car in order to put those grotesquely oversized wheels under it. At least this is reversible.

I think that car went up at the rate of gas prices. The evidence is in the sign in the backround :hah:
I have heard that you can build UP a car concept around a set of wheels but that takes it to the extreme :hand:

It must take two blocks to stop all that rolling mass from anything over 10 mph with the stock 10.5" rotors up front and drums out back! Nice turning radius too. My eyes are bleeding!

It would actually make an interesting project if you think about it. You could sell the wheels and tires (some homey from downtown would love them for his SUV) and put the money toward a set of 18's. Suspension, I would obviously throw away whatever it is they have stuffed in there to lift it and then tighten it up with whatever Global West and Hotchkis have to offer. Body wise all I'd change is the grille and removal of those big/guady SS emblems. Update the interior some and you're all set. Engine and trans could come at a later date. Or you could just turn around and sell it. For a profit perhaps. It's actually a beautiful car when you subtract all the other stuff.

Now, all that car needs is:
A gun rack (shotgun or inter-city automatic)
Camo paint
A Warn winch on the front
A big rollbar with Hella lights
and..
a deer tied across the hood.

and drums out back!
There were drums on the back?!?!? I couldn't see anything behind the hub of the wheel.:rotfl:
whats odd is that a while back Rancho was making suspension parts for the Gbody cars. it was such things as bigger sway bars and such.
Montes came with rear drum brakes standard and it wasnt mentioned that they were switched to disc.

I know, it was sarcasm, the wheel hubs were so big.......... oh forget it.

Well, I guess it would be nice to be able to change all your fluids without the need for a floor jack. Wow. I can't believe somebody would do that. I was searching the internet for some SS pieces on Ebay and that came up. Look at the bid though! Man, hard to believe. I'd like to photoshop it next to an H2 and see what that would look like-I bet the Monte has it beat for ground clearance! The world would be so boring without idiots to keep us all entertained. -Jabin
sorry toxic i completely missed it. oh man i feel dumb.
