Yup happened at H2Oi last weekend. The people setting up the show warned participants that the Police would be cracking down on this.
They were having problems getting it onto the tow truck (obviously) so the truck driver had to drive it to the Impound from what I've read. Although I would hate having a random Tow Truck Driver driving my low car around, they were kind of asking for it.
Glad that isn't a VW in the picture.

about fricking time too! f*cking hellaflush idiots..f*cking up cars, making automotive enthusiast's look bad and even having the f*cking nerve to file a tire warranty with your stupid detrimental modifications!
i should call our CR people at Michelin and tell them specifically that any suspension modified vehicle with excessive rubbing and negative camber will be EXEMPT from any treadlife warranties.
the people who strongly protest this just don't understand how unsafe and stupid it is to do such things to your car..

I dislike hellaflsuh, but I also dislike the po-po 'cracking down' on anything. It's the thin edge of the wedge: you give them mandate to harshly cull hellaflush cars today, but tomorrow they will ride the confidence wave all the way to your slightly noisy exhaust or suss ride height. Use caution here.

I'm with WOS. I think hellaflush is retarded, but we are all entiltled to our opinions...
I don't know stats nor have done research on it, but is there actually many accidents from this type of mod? I haven't seen anay personally "NOT safe to drive on public roads" Is there truth to that? Or is that just a means to abuse their power?

I 
what the police are doing. Helloflush and crazy camber is the absolute dumbest thing anyone could do to their car. It's unsafe and I dont appreciate being around some idiot on the highway with a car like that because it dangers me and anyone else around them.

Im in agreement with the police too. I have personally witnessed a wheel come flying off a car that had extreme camber on the road and hit 2 other cars (not mine thankfully) as it spun out off the road and almost hit a 3rd car. So yeah, you can bet for sure that I hate that trend and want to see it die.
