Mikeys69 Oct 27th, 09, 8:47 AM What is wrong with some people :confused:
Is it just to Hot over there?

kevinc Oct 27th, 09, 9:05 AM That definitely ranks as one of the worst modifications I've ever seen. You can see the axle flexing as it goes down the road. Hit a soft turd in the road with that thing and its over.
Alan F Oct 27th, 09, 9:29 AM I'll bet he has already discovered that it was not a good idea...
...broken axle/parts
...clipping pedestrians
...other cars lack of awareness and running in to tires they didn't expect to be there.
Did you see at the end there was a picture of it with the front wheels outside the fenders also?

bb1966chevelle Oct 27th, 09, 11:53 AM what is WTFILTH?
I'm not sure what it means either, but if that car in the video, and it's driver, is not the dumbest thing on the planet, then I dont know what it and I've seen my fair share of ghetto modifications.
He needs one of them WIDE LOAD banners on the front and back of that wreck!
Wow! :o
Andy69 Oct 27th, 09, 12:26 PM I'm guessing that will be a very short lived fad
Derek69SS Oct 27th, 09, 12:44 PM I'm guessing that will be a very short lived fad
I thought the same about 22"+ wheels. :clonk:
Poor Caprice SS :(
Beaux Oct 27th, 09, 12:53 PM Maybe they widened the track for when cruising through miitant areas where landmines may or may not be planted for surprise attacks. Widened out the track width in the hopes of avoiding mines planted at what might be considered target trackwidth on the roads. Or maybe those axles jettison out when they spot non believers walking on the sidewalk with a bible...and can then chop em at the legs like a gladiator in a chariot with a quick sideswipe.
There are lots of other reasons why saudis might do this. Hell, maybe it increases the bomb carrying capacity of a trunk or the additional axle length was simply added to increase shrapnel output. Maybe they needed something out back that they can tie women to instead of a trailer hitch for punishment of walking around in public without their father or brothers. Maybe they're going to put real fat wheels with some serious backspace, maybe some paddle tires, and take that dude out in the desert.
So many possibilities as to why the mod was done.....hard to tell what they were going for on the test cruise. Need to see it in action.
BTW - SS over there means "Saudi Series" and not Super Sport.....respect the cultural differences, man.....there is diversity in that moniker as well. :D
Derek69SS Oct 27th, 09, 1:02 PM BTW - SS over there means "Saudi Series" and not Super Sport.....respect the cultural differences, man.....there is diversity in that moniker as well. :DIs that true? The Saudi versions were called a Caprice SS rather than Impala SS for some wierd cultural reason, they didn't think the Impala name would sell there, but I'd never heard anything about the "SS".
VinceS427bb Oct 27th, 09, 1:19 PM just another guy looking for attention,
his modifications were not thought out too well,
he should of mounted 4x4 truck axles under there as that would have made more sense.
maybe he's just low on gray matter from the neck UP ......
Beaux Oct 27th, 09, 1:24 PM Is that true? The Saudi versions were called a Caprice SS rather than Impala SS for some wierd cultural reason, they didn't think the Impala name would sell there, but I'd never heard anything about the "SS".
I never make stuff up. :D;)
JWagner Oct 27th, 09, 1:28 PM The emblem on the trunk did look like an Impala to me. This just reinforces what Einstein said. He believed that there were two things that were infinite: the universe and human stupidity. And he was not completely sure about the universe.
Cameano Oct 27th, 09, 2:19 PM Looks like he did it with some bolt on stub axles. Good luck with that. Imagine the load on the bearings with the wheels that far away. :sad:
PaPa Johns 77 Oct 27th, 09, 3:54 PM I was picturing him clipping the bus with the rear wheel!:sad:
furball8994 Oct 27th, 09, 4:08 PM I was picturing him clipping the bus with the rear wheel!:sad:
I was hoping for the same thing....
1badss396 Oct 27th, 09, 4:26 PM I would love to smack into those axles with my big 4X4 diesel truck, LOL:yes:

"You can't fix stupid"
grandsport Oct 27th, 09, 7:45 PM There was auction numbers on the winshield of the camara car.:D
davoaz Oct 27th, 09, 11:55 PM He should get some flared out fenders and pretend he's a dually.
69bu Oct 28th, 09, 6:52 AM I didn't know they had rednecks in Saudi Arabia???
Chris R Nov 5th, 09, 12:32 AM Just when you have seen everything.:sad:
