There are some nice classics in there that must be thinking "shoot me now!". No dignity left. I hope the silly trend of older cars with huge wheels ends soon...

As for the sponsors, I guess they get some money as it is advertising....

Let's hope that fad doesn't catch on over here!

Getting in and out of them should be quite a sight.

I don't know what's worse...this or those kids that rice out their mom's hand-me-down Civic.

With the advertisements of Skittles, Puma, Reeses and Pillsbury, I would hope these owners are getting some money in exchange for advertising their companies on the sides of their cars. Though i seriously doubt there's any sponsorship.

I've lettered a lot of professional race cars and I'm thinkin' that there's some copyright infringement afoot...LOL!
And exactly what is the point of totally throwing off the car's suspension geometry?

Because they want to copy off the lifted 4WD guys? But at least a lifted 4WD serves a purpose...no instead it's all about "who has the biggest rims"...on an older car like the ones pictured, you can only go so big (they were only designed with 15's in mind) before you have to start lifting it to accommodate those big rims.

I'm surprised there's not an Obama car.
