That is excatly why I feel that all Honda Civics should come in 1 color, and 1 color only. Primer Grey!

It's just another way to express your love for your car. Not mine. Although, I still have an itch to do 20"'s on my Mini

Makes me think of this:


Mines = MINIs. Look out everyone.

My boy Karl Krantz in Miami puts together some sick hi-risers, but his latest[q creation may take the proverbial cake! What happens when you put a 20" lift on a kandy orange '85 Chevy Caprice? You get the Garfield Box.

It stands six and a half feet tall, but the most eye catching part of Karl's ride are the $30k+ clear treys from DUB (MHT Wheels). These rims are so outlandish they make the car look like a cartoon, but they do a stunning job of framing the views of South Beach! Check out the video of him doing a burnout!

Or more like Ladder mod.

Is there any limit to how big those tires can get?


Nope. I guess not.

Hey, 30" tires? Those are too small. Get 72"!

Well, Mr. Hooter Man has to have SOME way for "chicks" to get into his groovy truck.

This is just sooo wrong in sooo many ways...



If your going to put big wheels on a MINI, it should at least be capable of crushing cars for the kids at the local thunderdome on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday...

Stronger brakes would just make the car flip over frontwards with that high CoG!!

Sometimes I wonder what you SHOULD be doing during the day, when your sitting around making kickass MINIs
