    Negative camber.

    Get ready to spend a bunch of money because you just made your tires useless!.... It is some stupid fad. For the wasteful & ignorant.

    Not where I was.

    Arcades and gaming was like public enemy number one in those days.

    Now if you did something really dumb and they laugh about it, that's really bad. lol.

    Hopefully they find something else to laugh at 40 years on.

    Example: Trucker came into the yard one day to take care of paperwork. Sees the Dispatcher looking for keys by his car. Walks over and offers to help. Dispatcher says no thanks why do you ask?

    You left the top down and it's looks like rain coming.

    Every generation mods their vehicles. It's just that today's generation has very few cars worth putting more than $10 in mods on. Not their fault .

    When I was in my teens & 20's (70s & 80s), every time I got a new vehicle, within a few weeks, I took it to a tire shop & they installed new white spoke rims/wheels & my choice of aggressive mud tires, along with dual exhaust with Orange Peelers (mufflers).
    My daddy would just (in a sense), roll his eyes & shake his head.

    Starting around 40, 20 years later, I started to get it. 40 years later.... I really get it. Now every time I see or hear something like this... low riders, pick up trucks with 10" lift kits, stupidly loud mufflers, loud diesel pick ups with tuners & blowing more smoke than a coal burner freight train..... I just roll my eyes & shake my head.

    My momma would always say, "You got more money than you got sense!"

    And believe it or not, one day, they'll be rolling their eyes & shaking their heads at this sort of stupidity.

    Just MHO.....

    most likely were going to, or already did, thier interpretation of "Fast and furious" on the highway.

    if they had crashed into someone, then yes, call 911, hopefully you got at least one car's plate numbers as well.

    if however, they crashed and burnt up with each other, and no one else was involved, hammer down....karma took care of them.

    I wouldn't personally call the law just because they had the same plate, probably needed to move one of the cars that wasn't registered..
