Because they're garbage, they look ridiculous and they're unsafe on public roads. Only a nation as car obsessed as the US would tolerate this jumping jacks trash on their roads. You know what else is road legal in the US?

Yes. Not in daily traffic of course, but there are plenty at meets and out driving in good weather. Here's one I took in the fall just randomly running into a group of classics in a parking lot.

I saw a rig like this painted like this at a road rally in my town last summer. the owners were not there, just the solid gold car. people were like "oh they are mexican" but i said no they are like former soviet country or something. Azeri maybe or?

I can only imagine what that beast sounds like

>>70301858
It probably feels good to just stand next to them.
Owning one is even better, I suppose.

I'm pretty sure they intentionally ruined it. You don't just find spikey exhaust headers in your garage, and chopping your roof until you can't see anymore isn't an accident.

fug. <3. Literally knew the lines to that movie since I was 5. It was one of my dad's fave movies.

I like lowrider cars. but, im west coast.

Luv dat fat metal flake. Going to repaint my bike tins in a gold and green flake. Gives me the bone.

>>70302067
Common or not, it's an untolerable danger in public traffic. As well as the war spike exhaust. And the non existent ride height and suspension travel. And the far too skinny tires for the engine output. And the lack of fenders. And the obscured headlights. And likely the lack of adequate brakes.

>>70302169
I have seen documentaries on this subculture. Right on. TBQH.

>>70301657

Just lower the ride height on your Citroen

>>70302186
>it's an untolerable danger in public traffic
My truck probably is also.
I don't think they drive them often or long distances.
I think they are exempt from many safety standards because of how old they are.

>>70302322
>I think they are exempt from many safety standards because of how old they are.
But they didn't come like that from the factory, so they were deliberately made even less safe. Also in most states they would still violate vehicle codes for example on the existence of fenders or the headlight height, it's just that your cops turn a blind eye because they have more important things to do.

>>70302322
Luv to see them, its a tiny subculture tho

>>70302434
dude, I think it's a 1930 vehicle, not much safety shit
pretty sure it's all legal

I dunno, but it was made in Michigan

Let's just assume it's California because they have a silly custom culture, it's sunny and you can see a palm tree in the background.

>26454. (b) Every motor vehicle or combination of vehicles, at any time and under all conditions of loading, shall, upon application of the service brake, be capable of stopping from an initial speed of 20 miles per hour according to the following requirements: (1) Passenger-carrying vehicles with a seating capacity of 10 or fewer persons, including the driver, and built on a passenger car chassis 20 feet

>26700. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), a passenger vehicle, other than a motorcycle, and every bus, motortruck or truck tractor, and every firetruck, fire engine or other fire apparatus, whether publicly or privately owned, shall be equipped with an adequate windshield.

>27150. (a) Every motor vehicle subject to registration shall at all times be equipped with an adequate muffler in constant operation and properly maintained to prevent any excessive or unusual noise, and no muffler or exhaust system shall be equipped with a cutout, bypass, or similar device.

>27600. No person shall operate any motor vehicle having three or more wheels, any trailer, or semitrailer unless equipped with fenders, covers, or devices, including flaps or splash aprons, or unless the body of the vehicle or attachments thereto afford adequate protection to effectively minimize the spray or splash of water or mud to the rear of the vehicle and all such equipment or such body or attachments thereto shall be at least as wide as the tire tread.

As I said most rat rods, hot rods and even lifted trucks would be illegal in most states, but no one gives a fuck.

Some American cars have potential for greatness, but most of them are either garbage from the factory or turned into garbage by subcultures.

I consider us the ones having the fun, and all because we manage to respect a couple of basic rules for safety, like not driving a complete death trap.

But nooo, in the land of the free you consider yourself having the "right" to build a complete pile of shit to then drive at 60 mph and still crash and then whine that you couldn't have known it was dangerous because you the best you could on the spotty welds and you're a good boy who aint dun nothing wrong yall.
