off-road Zcar...an abonimation
 

here are some weird pics that I have found

:-[...

Damn hippies and their VW's. Let me guess....it runs on sunflowers, sunshine and hemp. :spam:

i once saw a first gen Z (i think 240, but it was years ago) in my local AutoTrader magazine that had been put onto a chevy 4x4 frame, and the unibody had somehow been SPLIT IN TWO and the front end pivoted forward (kinda like a corvette) BUT THE WHOLE REST OF THE CAR PIVOTED BACKWARDS...... the cab, and the rear deck are, ALL LIFTED TO A _VERY_ SERIOUS degree!!! it totally blew my mind that someone would A) do something this friggin nuts.. and B) turn around and sell it.. i guess "the wife" struck again.. (with my apologies to any feminiZts....)

here are some more weird pics.

here are some race baja bugs.
the grey baja cost more than 100k for the buyer
then there is a stretch lambo...

I just have 1 question....... Why?

I mean why buy a sport car and make it a useless POS that you cat drive. That is like buying a Hummer and slamming it. What is the point besides showing you have no idea what a car is suppose to do. :headspin:

well, baja bugs are pretty common and actually pretty bad sometimes. they can be quite the baja racers, thus the name.

it is completely stupid to take a perfectly good sports car and lift it at all. But... when it comes to bugs that is a totally different story. Right now I am designing a long travel baja with 20 in. of travel upfront and about the same in the back. I am converting it from torsion bar suspension to dual A-arms on all four corners. This conversion is going to take a lot of welding and fabrication to build the tube-frame and A-arm mounts and steering. I am going to buy the doner bug from my friend for $100 w/out a motor. then I will start hacking :woot: and getting the full length roll cage fabricated. the bug will be my car to drive and then I am going to strip my z down and redo the whole thing ground-up. :bling:

there are some long travel buggies and bugs here. I am going to mix the black and the yellow one to make my long travel baja bug

To each hid own. :rockon:

Why do inbred redneck southerners feel the need to jack up everything 2-3 feet off the ground?


Sounds like "Compensating for little dick syndrome" to me.

Or....... because they're always knee deep in $hit.

hey... most of this crap was done in so.cal. so don't blame it on us southerners for making everything stupid and crappy looking. we do have a lot of red sticky mud though :bling: I am doing a baja bug with custom front dual A-arm setupthat will have more ground cleanance down the middle than a Hummer H1. :hpydance:

IT's definitly not just rednecks. Plus, some would say spending money to make a car fast is compensating. It's just their hobby, go easy on em rizz.

yall are gay hobadams and povabadaduyjmnasijkams

my dad used to have a pretty bad ass pos back in the day. He had a chevy cheyenne that was lifted about 4 1/2 feet or so off of the ground, to the point where we could probably fit his porsche 914 under it. The truck would drive over everything, and I remember him driving it back in '86 when it flooded really bad. We'd take it to the lake and go crazy with it. Too bad he sold it, it was a fun off road truck.

Ahh!! My absolute dream car stretched into a long limo pos! :mad: Execute them, what a discrace! :mad: And by the way, I know of a brown 280z lifted up here in Arizona. :eek: It tripped me out when I saw it going down the freeway with it's crap brown and all! The spare tire in the back. Definately backyard mechanic action. :rolleyes: Also I have seen a orange Gremlin lifted up when I was driving down the freeway! Yuck! :eek:

my buddy used to have an 86 200sx on super swampers when he lived in georgia. that was before i knew him, thank god.

i was told this one was in napoleon dynamite a neighbors car

Yuck that is putrid! :p 2 + 2's are bad enough but lifted on jerry rigged backyard action? Pathetic, if he wants a lifted vehicle get a truck. If he wants a sportscar, normal, get a car. But don't lift something that is not meant to be lifted! Yeah where is the puking smilie when I need one? Barff!!! :eek:
