The first night I lived in St. Louis, I saw a "parade" of cars like that. I thought that Nelly was shooting a video something, there was so many of them. Even though they are pretty stupid, some of those cars were done well.

I saw an El Camino jacked up on 24's at a local car show event one time...it had some pearl lizzard paint scheme with gold and stuff...it had a "For Sale" sign on it for .... $25000.00 for a circa 74'. I asked the guy how the hell he got it 3 feet off the ground...answer- F350 suspension...the bottom of the doors was 8" above me knees...it was pretty high...

I laughed as I walked away...though I did wait 100 steps before doing so as I was not interested in getting a cap popped in my a$$!
