It is one of those odd things that people in the scene sometimes get lost in the fashion. Taking your shocks off, ditching the steering damper, fitting narrower tyres and narrowing the beam may well be perfectly logical for some when they see a picture on the net or in a magazine.
It is just bites you in the arse when you are driving the thing to the show huh. |
I think your your logic is slighty flawed.I see plenty of "ass biting"stockers wrecked in this thread too  |
not that this is the greatest thread (bus wrecks suck), but let's not get into stock vs. not stock here. All buses have an equal chance of getting f*cked up in a wreck regardless of height.

If it wasn't lowered it might have hit the bumper. Not that it would have made a difference.

Is that blue thing by the upper front of the bus covering a head?
Looks like someone wearing blue jeans and a black shirt is in the front seat... with their belly on the newly relocated dash.

Looks more like an owner got happy with a sawzall vs. "bus wrecks and accident scenes."
