What the heck is going on in the automotive world? Is this look really cool, or does this guy need a 4 x 4 Oldsmobile to get down his driveway?

I'm not sure who decided it was cool to jack up 4-door family cars and put giant tires on them, but I think it looks terrible. Are these guys really car guys, Or are they just doing this to make a statement? I guess the statement is "Hey, look, I have so much money I can put ridiculously large wheels and tires on my car!"

I guess its good exercise too, climbing in and out of a car that's six feet off the ground. If I had a car like this I sure wouldn't worry about ground clearance, I'd drive over everything.

2. It's also a great way to burn out a set of brakes very easily, given the MASSIVE increase in rolling mass (thanks to those rims & rubber) and the relatively puny brakes that have to try and stop those wheels.

I'd like to see what that looks like while taking a corner at any speed over 20 MPH.

3. I'm from Alabama and we see this a lot. I think it's called "ridin dirty", or something. Funny thing is most of the ones I see are sitting on the side of the road broken down. Makes a lot of sense to spend 5-6k $ in wheels and tires and not worry about how long it'll run or where you'll push after it breaks down so no one steals them.
