    Default Cruisin on my 30" clears!

    My boy Karl Krantz in Miami puts together some sick hi-risers, but his latest creation may take the proverbial cake! What happens when you put a 20" lift on a kandy orange '85 Chevy Caprice? You get the Garfield Box.

    It stands six and a half feet tall, but the most eye catching part of Karl's ride are the $30k+ clear treys from DUB (MHT Wheels). These rims are so outlandish they make the car look like a cartoon, but they do a stunning job of framing the views of South Beach! Check out the video of him doing a burnout!

    That's probably the most expensive tire to do a burn out with.

    All I can say is WOW!

    Me: Why not?
    Her: That (pointing at video) is EXACTLY why not.

    Oh geeeeez!! First it was rednecks with lifted trucks, loud exhausts and douchebag mentalities, and now it's gangstas driving dubbed out and lifted with flashy paint and poor emissions.

    The clear wheels are cool, but that's too big.

    I've been seeing this style for a while now. I think it started when they started putting 24's and up on their cars. It lifted them up to ridiculous heights, and I guess they started thinking it looked cool...

    I've seen an ATV like that too

    Holy crap I just died a little inside!

    Speaking of dying, isn't this just as illegal as most of the jacked up trucks since their bumpers are no longer at normal car level? Everything about that screams safety hazard, between the bumpers being above most sedans and the handling has to be even more horrible lifted that high!
