They're actually pretty good. My friend Paddy runs 0.01s on his E90 and can't fault them.





I think I might run the same on my 46 until I can afford enkeis or volks or something cool.

Everyone else in the world also stopped using the word 'rave' in the 90s and got rid of the neon clothing about the same time and look back on those days with shame.

You must have missed the Klaxons and the terrible "new rave" movement out of the UK in the not-so-distant past.

This is actually about the point where electronic music peaked before its decline, and why 15 years on the big name DJs still spin stuff you heard from back then at Ministry. Blame the 90s for the fashion.

Glowsticks are rare anyway - most kids these days use LEDs in the tips of gloves, before that it was spinning LEDs on strings.

Can't comment on the rest but this is so drat true. Electronic music from the '90s was the best. I don't know if I have geezer syndrome creeping in but I really don't like pretty much any mainstream modern music.

Wish I'd had my phone on me but recently I saw a bus on the back of a truck that I couldn't decide whether it was awesome or terrible. It looked old. It also looked like someone had transplanted a tram or train carriage on to a truck chassis right up to the bonnet with the truck windshield grafted nto the middle. It was so drat weird looking and I have no idea how to describe it properly. It looked incredibly awkward but kind of cool too.

You do. Electronic music was on its way down in the 90s from the pioneering heights of the 80s. It was pretty dead in the Aughts and has come back with a vengeance.

I was on the bike so I couldn't snap a pic, but I stopped at an intersection today next to a guy who had replaced the center three-pointed star of the Mercedes symbol on his wheels and decklid with the leaping Air Jordan

As Snowdens Secret says, there's some truly amazing music out there but you won't find it in the charts (for the most part). Follow some artists you like on Soundcloud and see who they follow and repost, follow those and see who they follow and repost and so on and so forth and you'll build up a nice selection on your feed to roll through whenever you're free to do so. I've found some astoundingly good stuff from Soundcloud.

Are there not state laws against this kind of poo poo? It seems incredibly dangerous to have the center of gravity so high, as well as creating serious visibility issues for people driving normal vehicles.

I've found those who are responsible for enforcing those particular laws are typically among the owners of said vehicles.

In NH, my coworker has to swap out his tires ('96 Jeep Cherokee on 32's I believe) every year to pass due to the bumper height restriction (20" for passenger vehicles, 30" for everything else). The state has no limit on lift or frame height, but for safety reasons the bumpers can be no more than 20" off the road surface. His front prerunner bumper is like 24" or something.

I used to know some guys who had big lifted trucks here in MA who used to keep a set of stock wheels and tires around for inspection time because there is a law here (or at least there was at the time, I'm not 100% current on this) about how far tires could stick out of the fenders.
