Default No Pictures but Interesting spill on road..

After leaving a show/shine yesterday where there were about 100 cars due to limited parking for us...

The show was getting over and people were packing up getting ready to leave and This Lowered/slammed 59 Cadillac parked right out front was dripping/leaking fuel and he was there for most of the show...so he left before a lot of others did...

Now during the awards there was a siren/cop/fire/ambulance...dont know?

Thats until we were all leaving the show about 20 minutes later...

Got on the road heading home and about 1 mile up the road there is a Fire truck blocking one lane, as the string of cars crept by, there is the Caddy, FUEL TANK ON THE GROUND and fuel still dripping/leaking...Didn't catch on fire but i bet it scared the you-know-what out of him and his girl...

If I smell the smallest trace of fuel, I am all over my car trying to find the source.

Lowering cars has been with us forever, even before Corvettes. And I support the right of a car owner to do whatever he/she wants to to their property.

That said, to me it has no appeal whatever. I cringe when I hear people say they just got a Vette and want to know how to lower it. IMHO lowering them detracts rather than improves.

Sounds like that Caddy went just a little too far with the lowering process!
