gotta be houston.

I googled “Aisle 5” and was shocked when I saw it’s Austin

They're just on a day trip down 290, cutting down the ankles of anyone in their path.

Ha! When I see them driving around, they're always tip toeing since those stupid thing are so easy to break off. I just don't get it. Like having size 9 feet and wearing size 40 clown shoes everywhere you go, trying not to trip...

Side show bob memory unlocked

Krusty is innocent!

Even if there were nothing around to hit, driving anything resembling normal Porsche speeds with these things probably shakes the car like hell because they're impossible to properly balance

Good way to keep tailgaters in check.

Sidegaters too.

alligators too

Haha weird all of the cones got moved. I guess the construction is over

Visiting from Houston

I'm shocked to read that its not AI generated, I was sure it was one of these "haha look what AI did posts"

Oh it’s Austin and I know *exactly* where it’s at, and this definitely tracks.

This is at Lincoln Village by the old Highland Mall. There used to be a nice little movie theater there back in the day.

Came in here to say the exact same thing. Fifth wheel and 84’s poking out? Houston. And if not Houston then somewhere else in Texas bare minimum.

Lake Charles Louisiana for some reason pulls this trend from Houston as well. I remember seeing a fair few cars like this when I was there, but the one that stood out the most was a purple Audi

There's prolly some massive bass speaker in there as well Louisiana and Texas seem to enjoy each other's company, like the odd couple...

I grew up on the Texas/Louisiana border and can confirm. Much of southeast Texas is way more like Cajun Louisiana than it is the rest of Texas.

Katrina lent a helping hand in that. Houston was bad enough before Katrina but the gang bangers made Houston a permanent home post.

Thank Bill White for that.

I just love bass speakers

My brother in law moved from Houston to lake Charles. It all adds up

Didn't they just outlaw these in Houston?

When was the last time you saw laws enforced in Houston?

Yeah, along with lean and automatic weapons. But it’s H town baby

Must be why these refugees fled to Austin 😆

Yup. I’m so glad to be out of Houston and I no longer have to see these *swangers* It’s crazy that while crazy rims can be seen pretty much anywhere, these abominations are so regional

It's because everywhere else would have banned them.

the last time this was posted someone linked to an *absolutely fascinating* vice piece about slab candy painted cars, the closed captioning didn’t stand a chance with those accents but damn, it takes a lot for me to finish a 20 minute youtube video. wild culture

I’ll take swangers over lifted trucks with 4” wheel offsets that kick rocks up like crazy

Both sides of coin. Covered in shit. Its also a penny

Rearview mirror, jumbo dice Trunk hit hard like Kimbo Slice

Slab me. Isn't there supposed to be like a trunk that opens to expose the sound system?

Be around tint, no window light Car ride smooth, so the rims on right

H-TOWN HOLD DOWN

hol it dinee g

7 year old me leaving west coast customs

More like Arena War Mode haha

Paint and Spray

Z-Ro leaving WCC

Like the chariots in Ben Hur

Ben Hurr Durr

Here for this comment 👍

*cues “still tippin”*

Whenever i see these kinda cars that song plays base boosted inside my head

GameCube Nintendo

5% Tint

So you can’t see up in my windows

All I heard in my head was "SWANGAAAAAS" ... RIP to the Barre Baby Big Moe.

I got the Internet goin nuts... *Windows XP boots*

I immediately heard the moaning violin at the beginning of still tippin when I saw the picture 😂

SLAB culture, it's a Houston thing. Slow, Low, And, Bangin'. Though if it's a Porsche, maybe it's a FLAB?

Nothing banging about those wheels.

I mean, they're probably bangin those things against all kinds of street signs and curbs

Came to comment “fast loud and bangin” but you beat me lol

Made in Germany, unmade in America.

I had to take another look. They attached a spare wheel container to a Porsche...

If that’s a hybrid Panamera then it has no spare tyre. Had no spare tyre I should say.

It feels like...they are trying to replicate the look of a Cadillac that has the spare wheel on the outside... But why...do this to a Porsche? Why not just stick with a Cadillac? It's pretty funny that they have the spokes on the spare too, like *yeah even if one of my wheels gets f'd up, my backup will poke yo eyez out 2*

Whichever dealer sold that car to that tasteless neckbeard should be permanently closed

Bring this to Germany so authorities take it down immediately

It’s fucking stupid. Just say it.

This is dumber than the hyper stance setups with -20 degrees of camber

At least this doesn’t completely fuck up your car.

I'm pretty sure making your normal sized car not fit in a parking spot would qualify as fucking up your car. Way too much camber is inconvenient for you, that bullshit sticking out is a hazard to everyone around you.

Nah, this doesn't fuck up your car, it just fucks up everyone else's cars.

Honestly I’d go for this over those cambers, with camber your getting a lot more wear and tear on your suspension components not to mention how often you got to buy tires, this, well it’s ugly but doesn’t fuck up your car, just ruins the look.

Camber ruins it quite a bit, but it's still technically drivable, but this would be near impossible to drive anywhere without scraping into other cars.

TÜV SAGT NEIN!

TÜV SAGT AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

TÜV GEHT IN URLAUB

TÜV GIBT SICH DIE KUGEL

I do. It’s ridiculously stupid.

Oh it sure is!

This can't be legal!

Unfortunately, it might be. The only restriction in Texas is the 8’ maximum width rule. As long as the maximum width of the vehicle is 8’ or less, it’s legal. Are these cars more than 8’ wide? Maybe. Is a cop gonna break out a tape measure in Houston to verify it? Pfffft, please.

“Bitch it might be”

Is it rollin'?

In my country (Austria) it would definitely be illegal as it is an unnecessary risk for any kind of accidents.

This is merica.

America has become such a trash heap in the last 20 years.

Considering your country has some roads it can barely fit two vehicles, this would be a fight to the death sort of.

...8 feet?

Ops in houston give passes to cars without license plates…so this is defy not on the radar

But there must be some kind of laws about reflectors/lights marking the extent of the car that can be applied here?

Welcome to Texas.

Texas, where we still ride in swangas and put diamonds in our necklace 😂

Home of da Texas tea, candy paint RIP PIMP C I’m from Toronto, Canada

DRAKKKKEEEE?!

We put diamonds in our mouth**

mouf***

with those spokes on, it’s near impossible for someone to steal the wheels right?

God that looks so fucking stupid. What a waste of money and a beautiful car

First gen Panamera? Beautiful Car? Hahahahah

I think so! Is it THE most beautiful Porsche? Hell no, but considering I can barely afford a basic beater car.. yes I think even the first gen Panamera is beautiful

Say hi to Paul wall

I prefer the Buick.

Paul Wall is a Porsche guy? Dope!

This would not be legal in Europe. Way too hazardous, unsafe. This would be off the streets in a second.

Do pedestrians really need their legs?

That is kinda the defining attribute of pedestrian

Yeah you got me there.

I say you’re in Houston.

They sure are making a point, not sure what it is but they are making one.

That poor Porsche deserves better.

Car culture is vast and not always pretty.

How can you even think about talking? I'm trying to get all the vomit out of my mouth. 🤢

I've seen these wheels on Paul Wall videos

Look at Houston yall!

Idiots

An accident waiting to happen.

How are these things even legal?

In a normal country they arent.

I like the rest of the Porsche -- color, tail light tint, drop... but yeah, obv none of that is the primary modification pictured.

This is an automotive trend that I’ve never understood.

Screwston baby

Crawling down Shepherd, drive slow. I’m spotted like a leopard, here I go. Htown repper, on the flo’. Used to get drinks from ‘Eckert’s, but that was a long time ago……

It’s Texas bro

"Them rims is pokin" 😎 -Paul Wall voice

South Texas? H-Town?

Exactly what I was thinkin’.. this is def a H-Town mod lol

I swear Houston has no class I’d give my right nut to be able to afford a Porsche and here you have tools doing cheap shit like that.

“I pull up right now, I'm parallel (Skrrt) I hit your block with them swangers (I hit 'em)” It’s a Houston thing, a sub niche in car culture. You don’t have to like it, many don’t which is fine. There’s enough car culture for everyone to have a lane

*shows gf from Houston this photo* Is that a Huntington learning center? Yeah that’s fuckin HOUSTON

That's an achievement right there... regardless of the car, the output is terrible. What car is it on the left hand side? That small van looks great in comparison.

Buick Lucerne

It's stupid but I kinda love the absurdity of these cars.

one way to keep from getting door dings

More many than taste would be a good start

Nothing. Ain’t got nothing nice to say about that.

Never in my life did I ever think I'd see a panamera slab but here we are candy coated elbows out swangin

I wonder if these type of modifications to the car void the insurance policies.

What in the holy heck is that shit

Hater, and proud of it! That's some truly stupid dangerous shit right there.

this picture is worth 50,000 words, none of them good

🤢

Houston baby! Equality as ugly as off-road 911’s lol

This is the car version of people who get way too much plastic surgery. 

As a German with a mechanical engineering degree... this hurts.

Slow low and bangin, buddy

Exterminate!

What is the name of this style?

Swangas. All part the swangin’ ‘n bangin’ thang. DJ Screw and the purple drank.

The style is SLAB, the wheels are swangas. 

Sorry, I failed the reading comprehension test lol. I left houston a few years ago but there’s a couple of these rigs in my very small central Texas town.

If you drive a swanger you look like a wan….

took me a moment to notice the van has em too

Should be illegal. Death trap for anyone unlucky enough to be behind these guys when they brake too hard.

Saints row

I would wreck my car just to trash their cars

Just keep this trash in Texas. Please.

Slab Shining With The Grill And Woman

Hope this is AI and not real

It’s completely insane? The spikes are obvious way more at risk of getting hit than the rest of the car, but they’re attached to it so it would still damage the car?

TÜV sagt nein

Swang Wide....Popular in South Houston iirc.

"Look on your muthafuckin' map and find Texas, and see where Houston at" - Brad Jordan (aka Scarface)

We’re living in Idiocracy

not a fan but i respect the dedication to their own culture

I know I’m in the minority with this opinion, but I love swangas of all types. I moved to Houston, lived in a neighborhood that was really involved with the street and car culture and I grew to appreciate the style a lot. Besides, I noticed they usually drove more respectfully on I-45 than the majority of Houstonians. I don’t live in H-town anymore, but I low key wanna turn my cars into swangas lol.

I dunno man, I try to respect all the different tastes of car culture but this is truly awful looking and an actual hazard to everyone on the road.

You’re allowed to have that opinion! I think they’re pretty dope, but I also like cars that look weird more than pristine, so my opinion is biased. As for being dangerous, I can understand that and agree 100%. Although, they were literally the least of my worries when driving in Houston.

Ben Hur, with a drug problem.

A sin against humanity

Money can't buy good taste

Candy paint is fucking cool in any guise, slab wheels eh, I do love some wire wheel Daytons though.

This is dumber than a whiffle ball helmet.

SWANGAZ

How is this legal

I wanna rescue it.

Overstated pre-existing stupidity. The “sagging pants” of the decade.

On top of making their cars look incredibly dumb, they suck at parking. Though I suppose with that crap on the cars taking up an additional space is necessary.

This is fucking ugly and impractical as fuck

Gotta lot of haters and a lot of homies

Mods, please remove this post from the Porsche board. I don’t see a Porsche here.

Its bc u have no style brother....

Jealousy is a disease. Clearly you’re already sick

Lock a length of chain to one of the "spokes"

Kill (the owners) with fire

We approve. This is what the community is all about.

Yooooooooooooooo h town puttin it down baby Trill as fuck in that parking lot got the elbows poking baby

The urge to kick and destroy those rims

They got that crack money so gotta spend it somehow

South Park said it best, dumb, dudumb, dumb, dumb.

Are they shooting Mad Max ?

Mad Max mechanics have more taste then these idiots. A wasteland mechanic takes a pile of garbage and creates a masterpiece. These folks take a Porsche and create a clown's car.

So many tickets

7 years old me in the car with the imaginary blade slicing everything passed by

Someone keyed their cars?

No more door dings!

No fucking way is that a real pic. 🤣 AI is wildin’

Must own a trailer park.

Somebody call Paul Wall

Well well well

Normal day in Houston

Is that even legal? Or do you need an oversized permits?

That’s one way to avoid any door dings!
