What I think is funny is the 19 inch awesome wheels, And the puny economy car type 10 inch brake drums on the rear.

I've seen people run their slammed VW Jettas on donut spares to bring them lower to the ground. (VW Content!)

One notable individual put large vinyl stickers on his slammed Saturn along with a fart can for style. He cut the springs and put it on FOUR donut spares to lower it even further. He also sanded down the raised letters and warnings on the spares for a 'smooth' look. I can understand even a misguided perception of performance enhancements, but his Saturn had an AUTOMATIC transmission. Yeah.....
