Things that should be banned from the car scene

[e600]

There is a cult in Japan (I think) that puts massive camber into the suspension, with the result the car appears to be sitting on half the width of its tyres,

Why?

Don't quote me on it, but I know that over here, the entire tread of the tyre has to be under the arch for MOT purposes. So when people fitted massiv wide wheels, they dialled in the camber slightly to get the tread under.
If this is the same in Japan, I don't know. But as ever, it's been taken to an extreme

Never heard of a show cage...

I'm disappointed, I thought it was what scantily glad girls danced in nightclubs, still trying to work out how to fit one in my car.

This is an example of what I was highlighting above. Simply why?

We can cover that more generically with: turbochargers.

People who don't like cars

Environmentalists

Anyone who thinks increasing petrol prices or motoring related taxes is a good idea.

Regarding modifications.... Everyone should be able to do what they like as long as it doesn't affect me

It's just something different countries do.

America has Donk cars for example. Its just the extreme end of modifying.

If anyone wants to have a look at any of the Japanese cambered cars, they are called VIP cars.

Nothing wrong with lowered cars on static suspension or stretched tires. It's the extreme camber which is the worst of the bunch.

Honestly some 'V-dub' show'n'shine festivals have a fantastic display of 'stanced' cars that aren't modified around speed like most car festivals are. It's not for everybody's taste but it's definitely better than the Vauxhall chav-fest at trax I witnessed this year full of de-badged corsa's with massive exhausts on their 1.2 litre petrols.

Trax isn't so bad, USC (Ultimate Street Cars) is the worst. A girl I know went and put some videos on her FB, loads of diesiel golfs and rubbish Corsa's with the handbrakes on doing burnouts until something on the car gave way while some buffoon cheered them on with a mic. Dreadful.

If I could ban anything however it would be stretched tyres and tow straps/markers on cars which will never see a track.

Stretched tyres? My goodness, never seen those before, they must be a new thing, right? How totally and utterly st.

How droll.

I'm almost concerned that sunlight bright DRLs haven't been mentioned yet.
