Quote about Car Modifying

Post by racer12306 » Tue Nov 20, 2012 8:42 am

Anyone that gets Jalopnik's emails has already read this. There was a new ZL1 that was modified by a shop in FL and it has created quite a stir. My opinion is the car is hideous, but I at least appreciate how they accommodated the huge wheels unlike other cars I've seen with huge wheels.

Finally, the owner of the shop wrote this (yes there are some grammar errors):
Listen its pretty disgusting the things people are saying, everybody has there owns styles, lifted trucks with mud tires, lifted cars with big wheels, lowered cars, racing riding lawnmowers, clothing, hair, etc. To judge a car with such ignorance is disgusting. If you really no what it takes to build a car and your a fan of cars you would respect every custom car for the time, effort and style that,that person came up with even its not your style. Building cars is a hobby for people PEOPLE DONT BUILD CARS TO MAKE ANOTHER PERSON HAPPY they build it to there own style and what they want.
Great message, imo.

I haven't seen any huge problems like this here lately, but I know we've gone through phases where it happens. So everyone, keep this in mind when someone asks for an opinion.

I agree, but at least they took the time to make it fit as properly as they could. It's not going to sit nice like stock because we are talking about an extra 4" ish in tire height. Much better than most cars I see with 30s.
