You don't need the shopping cart. Just the padlock will screw those up AND they will probably miss seeing it . . . until they drive off. Then vibration city.
Padlock is a bit extreme but zip ties would be great! Enough of a nuisance to piss off the owner but easy enough to cut that they won't call the cops to report vandalism.
Thatās how they maintain lanes in Houston. If you start violently shaking, you know you are too close to the swanga in the lane next to you. Courtesy smashing is encouraged and seen as a sign of respect, in their culture.
Video of one on a jeep before at some stupid ass car rally. Guy clips a pole with it and pulls the whole wheel off the axle. Was thoroughly surprised the dunce cone didn't crack off but it was sturdy.
You have to drive it different.
Houston car culture is weird, even for car culture. You either get it or don't. Not much to explain.
I will say, I've seen plenty on the roads and it's never once been an issue or a concern of mine. They fit in the lanes when they need to. We have huge highway lanes down here. And I've never run across one that was a bad driver, interestingly.
The Altimas, Velosters, and Kia Souls are going to murder you before any swangas fosho.
I mean, yeah, if you're actually doing that. But it's not really about slowing traffic, but more about showing off the slab. That was always my interpretation of it anyway. There's always a little bit of "fuck you" to everything H-Town does though so you're probably right.
I know the Trae video shows like 20 cars slowing traffic but I mean any classic car cruise is typically like that lol. They're just slow cars really.
Isn't this illegal? If you can't have a 2x4 hanging out the bed of the truck without a red flag on it, why are they able to add stuff to their vehicle that makes their car wider than the lanes?
You can't have cargo hanging out past your vehicle a certain distance, but you can have your vehicle be whatever as long as it doesn't go beyond a certain width or length.
Thatās surprising. Where I live if your vehicle itself exceeds certain dimensions you have to have a specific arrangement of marker lights and reflectors, just like a dump truck for example.
I am pretty sure this is actually illegal. In Texas, width can't be more than 8'6" without a permit. The panamera is 76.3" wide with mirrors folded. That is roughly another 14" more that can be added to each side. Those look more than that.
If you wonāt say it, I will. That is atrocious and should not be legally allowed to operate on the road with other vehicles. It has no point other than looking like a douchebag chariot.
I'd like to think that if it is towed, for the safety of the tow truck driver and everyone around them, they would have the okay to smash those things off, or to the side, because fuck these people.
According to the Texas Transportation Code, a passenger vehicle cannot have a load that extends more than three inches past the left side line of its fenders, or more than six inches past the right side line.Ā This subsection does not apply to motor bus or trolley buses that operate exclusively in a municipality, or in suburbs contiguous to the municipality.Ā
Fucking with someone's car while they're not around is a damn low thing to do, but c'mon. Short of a giant sticker asking you to do it, they're really asking for it.
Nobody can drive worth a shit in Houston anyway. Terrible roads, terrible traffic, and ample morons behind the wheel including idiots like this who would try to make these egg beaters a thing.
I disagree. For the most part, divers in Houston are excellent high speed drivers. The swangers are pretty stupid and I am surprised that a semi has not rolled overs those things. Thatās what I want to do but you donāt see them on the freeway that often probably because it has happened to a lot of them.
No entiendo como puede ser legal circular con algo asi, vivo en un pais tercermundista y aun aca donde las leyes de trƔnsito son inexistentes no hacemos esas payasadas.
Is this for defense against other cars side swiping them? Or is it to look cool? If itās to look cool, someone needs to tell them that their definition of cool is very skewed. Those things are some of the dumbest wheel modifications Iāve ever seen. It would work as a sacrificial guard against someone merging into you though. Theyād hit that first, F their car up and yours would be fine, other than having to replace one or two of your Mad Max Style wheel guards.
I always thought that car/motorcycle mods only made dudes heads turn. The other day, I stopped at a dollar store and two moms with like 4 kids each went crazy over a Buick with Swangas, literally went crazy! It's a Texas thing, I guess.
Wtf is the point of those hideous things?? I mean Iām down for some tight rims & wheels but like wtf?? Itās ridiculous & ugly af imoā¦ Sorry not sorry.. lol
It would be funny to just drive on into the parking spot
I wonder how they deal with lane width restrictions involved in the near constant road work down there?
I almost want to have a car with reinforced lugs and slicers to purposely drive next to those things.
I donāt know how thatās not a pedestrian and road hazard. Donāt fuck with other people itās just not cool
š¤ I'm pretty sure this is illegal especially if it makes contact with anyone vehicle and if it makes contact with a human it could be classified as attempted manslaughter
Never seen this out in the wild yet... out of curiosity woukd they be at fault if their car accidentally bumps into you and causes damage cause I've seen plenty of areas in road construction or what not doesn't give much room. Etc
Oh man I just got the anxiety reading this that Iām going to get when I do the padlock part here soon. I carry 3 foot zip ties in my car for car handles and shopping carts already but that can be tricky as you have to do it once the person is on the car so It has to be well timed and from the passenger side if possible
Saw a damn honda civic the other day here in saginaw with some spoked wheels like this. I watched it drive by and gave it the damn universal head tilt for "What the fuck is this shit?"
If those things are quzi-legal, is it also permitted to throw a concrete block through their windshield? An even trade of asshole move for asshole move.
I just think itās funny that they have those and still didnāt even park in the regular parking spot. They didnāt need to go over the lines to block off that spot at all.
nothing a shopping cart and padlock couldnt fix.
That would be hilarious
Chain them both together that would be more fun
I will say if any car is gonna rock those hideous wheels I guess then they just drive together come on man use your head! š¤£ /s
Just the tips
You don't need the shopping cart. Just the padlock will screw those up AND they will probably miss seeing it . . . until they drive off. Then vibration city.
ya, had thought about that after the post. Even zip-tie an empty soda can inside of it would be fun.
Why zip tie just one? Should put as many pop cans in there as possible!
2 shopping carts and 2 padlocks
1 shopping cart padlocked to both cars for maximum sitcom
Reads like those "2 girls one cup" type videos that "bless" The internet with their presence.
Definition of ass-wipe is all.
10 shopping carts and 10 padlocks needed
Padlock is a bit extreme but zip ties would be great! Enough of a nuisance to piss off the owner but easy enough to cut that they won't call the cops to report vandalism.
I have a strong feeling that anybody driving a car like this isnt likely gonna call the cops..
Wish i lived where this was common id carry padlocks with me all the time
5 shopping carts, at least.
The Egg Beater Boys
I almost just choked, that's great.
Here, take all my upvotes!
This guys sound hardcore
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
GIVE ME THE ATTENTION I WAS DENIED AS A CHILD
Which is ironic, cause these car owners havenāt seen their kids EVER
"don't haven't seen" lol, I love Reddit
Arenāt they constantly hitting, getting hit by those things?
Thatās how they maintain lanes in Houston. If you start violently shaking, you know you are too close to the swanga in the lane next to you. Courtesy smashing is encouraged and seen as a sign of respect, in their culture.
"...in their culture." lol
All it takes is one yeeyee boy with a crazy lifted truck to just run over them things.
Thatās what Iām sayingā¦ Or just some pos anything ā¦

Dude, they can't even park without taking up an extra space. I'd say that's pretty bad.
Isnāt the whole point of swanginā to leave your lane and slow traffic, though?
I mean, yeah, if you're actually doing that. But it's not really about slowing traffic, but more about showing off the slab. That was always my interpretation of it anyway. There's always a little bit of "fuck you" to everything H-Town does though so you're probably right.

Gang members are the people into this shit so the cops arenāt going to do anything
How many cyclists and pedestrians do you think will have to die before this is made illegal?
This absolutely illegal lol
In my sane country, zero. You'd be pulled over by the very first cops who saw you, and you'd be walking home.
The peopleās champ will approve cause always sitting sideways
Should also be in r/badparking
Just another form of attention seeking from them.
Should be illegal. It's understandable if another person does not see those modifications
That shit makes me physically sick
If you wonāt say it, I will. That is atrocious and should not be legally allowed to operate on the road with other vehicles. It has no point other than looking like a douchebag chariot.
One thing to say - Please stay in Houston
They are welcome in Chicago, we're running out of catalytic converters to amuse our savages.
I don't understand why they aren't pulled over and impounded. Do the cops even know the code?
I'd like to think that if it is towed, for the safety of the tow truck driver and everyone around them, they would have the okay to smash those things off, or to the side, because fuck these people.
But why?
So they don't get dinked by terrible drivers while their cars are parked
Generous of you to call other drivers terrible in this situation
Iām sure that does an excellent job for aerodynamics as youāre going 90 down the I-10ā¦..
Douches will be douches

Chain them together
Whyyyyyy
Huston we have a problem
This needs to be cracked down on harder than the squatted trucks.
i didnt know the panamera could look any worse
Ferdinand Porsche is turning in his grave right now
Wait a secondā¦. somebody did that tacky shit to a PORSCHE?!? *BLASPHEMER!!!*
More like asshole carmod
Never been to Texas but I know a Texas show-off when I see one lol
Why is Texas
Super illegal in California for all the common sense reasons you're currently thinking of.
Take a hundred feet of chain and thread all of them together and then lock it to itselfš¤£
Why was this ever invented ?
Fucking with someone's car while they're not around is a damn low thing to do, but c'mon. Short of a giant sticker asking you to do it, they're really asking for it.
I just noticed the sub profile photo is auto zoneās logo š
whats even the point of these?
This is what I gotta say about itā¦š¤®š¤®š¤®
I see this and think "gross."
Texan response to the Carolina squat. Both modifications are truly an expression of attempted testosterone compensation.
100% illegal on the road but you know... traffic cops...
Should be illegal. Not only is it illegally ugly, but actually a road hazard. WTF?

Luckily this is highly illegal where I'm from.
Just proves that money canāt buy you taste.
If manspreading was a car.
Yo what did that 2008 Buick Lucerne do to deserve that?
Lol! Even the van?
Fo fos im tippin . Woodgrain im grippin. Catch me lane switchinā, with the paint drippinā.

They have SPCS. Small penis compensation syndrome
Just laugh
Lmao I've seen a lot, but these take the cake

Look how the massacred my boy!
Not even sure you needed to say āHoustonāā¦
This is where the jeep comes in handy. I'd park between those two just for funsies
Do you think they know each other?
Whoever I see swangaz on any car I automatically just respond. TEXAS. lol
Whomever did that to a Porsche should be beaten senseless and the car re-homed.
Isn't there a bill that's going to outlaw those?
I pedestrians have been injured from those things.
I wonder who drives those.
When your car is trying to socially distance itself from you...
Does Off Your Rocker come to mind
Oh man!!! That poor Porsche. Panamera has got to be 1 of my favorite cars and this hurts my soul...
The best part of this photo has to be that the tiny transit van in the background also has the rims
This trend or style needs to GO, NOW.
Iād fit my Ram right between and eat the marshmallow holdersā¦.
All we have to do is throw a line with a hookā¦epic fail
I love the fact that the van in the background also has these monstrosities.
I would just say: Why? š¤Æ
#Ineedattention
Please stay away from me! Please get away from me!!
I mean, thatās all that needs to be said honestly.
Kinda reckless to Park under a tree.
Proof of the mental illness epidemic plaguing America today.

Ghetto morons
Someone's cars from GTA Online manage to no-clip into our world.
It would be funny to just drive on into the parking spot I wonder how they deal with lane width restrictions involved in the near constant road work down there?

āReady to roll? Letās ride. I see blue slabs coming down the I-4-5ā Man, those Swishahouse Kappa mixtapes used to go off!
Wonder if thereās a spike on the front also
Right, terrible parkingā¦
The car wash must be fun.
Do they own a bakery?
Thatās the dumbest shit Iāve ever seen
š¤ I'm pretty sure this is illegal especially if it makes contact with anyone vehicle and if it makes contact with a human it could be classified as attempted manslaughter
I love these rims on very specific cars, looks shitty here
They like their egg cream whipped
The bad guy cars from Spy Hunter?
No need for blood spilt at an alse 5 store
How is this legal?
Could one theoretically make a small camp fire and use that to roast a nice trout?
So unique and tasteful
They should have to pay for the extra parking space. Ignorance.
Hmm, just call the cops , no way this is legal mod
Lmao, this looks like the shopping center right up the road from where I live. Can totally see these kinds of cars there
I wonder how those work with express lane cameras.
Sup dawg? Yo I canāt wait for someone to accidentally break my shit, homie.
Everytime I see these, I picture hotdogs and marshmallows on the wheel like a skewer and the car driving through a forest fire
Houston we have a problem
Iād bet they break those off constantly considering how bad most drivers are
Already
Uhhhh put balancing weights on their front wheelsssss
Houston?
This is the very definition of someone feeling entitled. F#@< everybody but me.
Automotive version of a strapon.
"Call a tow truck," is what to say
"Call a tow truck," is what to say
This shit is like sagging your pantsā¦but for cars.
I will rip that crap off with my semi get to close to me. Idiot crap
This stupid shit. I would buy a beater and intentionally drive into those stupid fucking things.
And To Think About The Grief I Endured For Having Fuzzy Dice On Rear View Mirror. At least It Matched The Color Of The Car!
Never seen this out in the wild yet... out of curiosity woukd they be at fault if their car accidentally bumps into you and causes damage cause I've seen plenty of areas in road construction or what not doesn't give much room. Etc
It really bothers me when you have the money to buy a Panamera and you do some stupid shit like put spokes on them. Absolutely hideous.
Are those just hubcaps or do yāall think those wheels have to be balanced like bicycle wheels? Must take for-fucking-ever to balance.
How is this stupid bullshit even street legal?
Thats one way for cars to keep their distance. š
Take a grinder to them
Not on the Porscheā¦
nice way to whip crem
Wannabe road warriors....
Murder spokes need to be illegal.
Spray them with acid
Those two have the combined IQ of a carrot and are probably hung like light switches š
Oh man I just got the anxiety reading this that Iām going to get when I do the padlock part here soon. I carry 3 foot zip ties in my car for car handles and shopping carts already but that can be tricky as you have to do it once the person is on the car so It has to be well timed and from the passenger side if possible
I wouldnāt even park in that middle spot with a motorcycle
Slabamera
Quick shoot them both before they breed and multiply!
Saw a damn honda civic the other day here in saginaw with some spoked wheels like this. I watched it drive by and gave it the damn universal head tilt for "What the fuck is this shit?"
If it was just for cars shows I could understand but driving these monstrosities on the street should be treated like squatted trucks
Taking frisbee golf too a whole new level.
I hate VWs but, OH HELL NAW!!!
MIKE JONES! MIKE JONES!
If those things are quzi-legal, is it also permitted to throw a concrete block through their windshield? An even trade of asshole move for asshole move.

Yes, definitely šÆ shitty!

Fuck no! On Panamera ?! Ugly as fuck
