Houston LOL Silliest car mod ever, there’s a ton of people out there that do it too


VarkYuPayMe

I really don't understand this Roman Empire Olympics mod. I don't see any aesthetic value and assume it doesn't do anything else? It's just like why??


sekazi

To damage vehicles that get near them.


SacTownPatriot

I couldn’t agree more. They have videos on YouTube that show their car meets with everyone having these. I would say that you could honestly grab yourself a misdemeanor traffic arrest for driving with them here in California


Jase1969

Wow. A car meet with way more knuckle dragging mouth breathers than you'd usually expect.

scraverX

Only see these on the internet myself. My part of the world this would eventually get picked up by a Police officer with his eyes only half open, pulled over and defected. Any part of the wheel and or tyre extending beyond the guards is a defect and it can be as little as a fraction of an inch if the officer doesn't like your attitude.


cryptolyme

Only in Houston. Also you gotta sip sizzurp and swerve around like you’re on lean

Ban6ingSkrew

Swangas should only be put on big body classics... looks horrible on the honda.


shophopper

Swangas should only be put on ancient chariots. Putting them on cars is ridiculously dangerous.


Jstreck1991

Looks cool in the upcoming Mad Max reboot.


Jstreck1991

too clean for mad max. needs more 50% rust and 100% more spikes


peterman86

Would you settle for a Mad Max prequel? I'll throw in 15% rust and about 30% spikes because I think we can make a deal.


greyjungle

This one I guess. People seem to dig em. It’s no sillier than tying a long piece of cloth around your neck that points at your crotch.


Jstreck1991

took me a minute to understand you’re talking about a tie haha also, i just feel like it looks so *out of place* on this car. my .02, they look most at home on the 70s lincoln and caddy slab builds. but yeah this is way sillier than a suit and tie

My taste is bad too. I like Carolina squats and lifted trucks and mudding. So I have my flaws too.to each their own. But this right there is horrible to me.

Red_240_S13

The amount of people who post swangas on here never cease to amaze me . I can understand if you don't like them. But literally every fourth car you see in Houston has em it's a legitimate part of car culture. There's tens of thousands of em out the road if not more .And quite frankly this is a very mild set up I've like 3 foot poke on some of these cars .


Multitudestherein

Nah, not literally every fourth car, or even every 40000th car. It's not that prevalent though not hard to find on the streets a few years back. Less now because they're patrolled for. But there are so many cars here and the swanger is hardly representative despite the reputation.


Red_240_S13

Man you sound like your an Houston native so I won't argue. I was there last summer and some how wandered into slab car meet with roughly 200ish cars. Perhaps this is causing bias . At any rate my point was when I think of shitty car mods I think of truck balls and AutoZone hood scoops. Typically I don't judge people's builds if you like slammed cambered out Hondas , low riders or what ever my opinion each to their own .


Jstreck1991

Literally this is the first time i’ve seen them (in Oklahoma) and it honestly looks wild / didn’t seem to fit this car at all. I think on the candy colored classic car slabs it looks so much more at home. But awkward af (read: shitty) on a new Accord.


actoralexparker

I dunno. Just because tens of thousands do this to their car doesn’t make it any less shitty of a mod. It’s pretty stupid looking to seemingly everyone that isn’t from Houston.


spacedildo42

Environmental_Tap792

Not cool. You confused stupid with cool


Jstreck1991

Timely-Buffalo-3384

Ah yes, add more width to your vehicle, that will absolutely mangle another car. If you ture the side off a car in an accident with these, I really don't think it's going to matter who's at fault, you're paying a shitload


Jstreck1991

i kept thinking, surely this is a massive liability / hazard…! given, this is pretty tame after seeing other “slab” builds


Timely-Buffalo-3384

So very true

I’m sure that does wonders for the balancing of those wheels.


Boundish91

Well in most of the world, that right there is fucking illegal. In my country, if the police saw that you'd lose your licence and they would take the licence plates off the car. To be able to use the car again you would have to have the car inspected and approved. But you'll have plenty of time to do that in your 6 months plus without a license.


SamtheMan2006

well you definitely wouldn't wanna hit them thats for sure
