Cambered wheels are the dumbest, most pointless, and trashiest thing you can do to a car

Tonight while driving home from work I saw a beautiful Audi S5 completely ruined by cambered wheels.

For those who don't know what that is, it's the product of those obnoxious fricks who do this to their cars:




The only purpose camber has is for improved cornering at very high speeds in race situations. Otherwise it is completely pointless, looks ridiculous, and is a trashy way of saying, "I'm trashy!"

You have to buy offset ball joints, chew through tires every few thousand miles, and feel every single pebble you run over. Additionally, the wear put on your steering rack and shocks is exponentially higher.

I don't get why people do this.

Attention whoring. Some people just have a compulsion to have others look at them. Even when people are looking at them for the idiots that they are.

I get exactly why people do it. People are idiots and vain. It makes me feel good about my retirement account and many other choices I’ve made in life because it lets me know there’s plenty of people out there that do things like that. It also makes me laugh.

It's key to an elite pinewood derby car.

The hip hop culture is extremely insecure. Its based on being noticed to validate ones existence. It doesn't matter how stupid it is, as long as someone notices you.

What's a classy way to say I'm trashy? Asking for a friend.

A close second are tires stretched ultra thin on large trucks.

My 2017 gt with track pack is getting camber plate upgrades and a roll bar... but it is used exclusively on the track. 6000 of the 8000 miles on it are track miles.

Am I trashy?

Walmart pickup. I don't go into the store but I'm still in the parking lot.

That is inaccurate, all cars will very slight amounts of negative camber, a track car will just have a little more. That is a picture of "Demon Camber" which indeed ruins performance instead of increasing it even at 200mph on Monza's Parabolica.
