Oh... I get it, now. The reason for the hyper-narrowed beam is to keep that bier bottle in the shade. Thanks for the clarification. You guys are the best.

I like the horse shoe for good luck. Good luck steering or going in a straight line.

I'll bet that car doesn't even have a floorpan - just a shell dropped on the ground and a set of sprintstars jammed underneath... Wink

Narrowed front ends are dangerous full stop. I took a vehicle with a narrowed front end out for a spin at lunchtime and i found, with a lot of additional weight in there, the wheels seemd to have a mind of their own and became unstable, I took a photo of it to show you all

Pretty interesting contraption for raising and lowering the front. Makes a lot of "sense" (if you can find ANYTHING sensible about it) as compared to airbags on the control arms.

Next thing you know, somebody will find a way to go the ultimate narrowing job and simply use a single wheel in front
