There's this test that I do every time I see a slammed car; I call it the "Chucks" test. Any really low profile shoe will do, but my personal preference has always been a pair of classic, and worn down, Chuck Taylors.

Yesterday was the first ever Left Coast Low meet in Santa Barbara, California. Of course, there were plenty of low and slammed things to feast your eyes upon, but nothing was as slammed as Harrison's NA6 Miata. The measure of a good slam, with my very scientific method, is when the shoe can fit under the frame rails snug. My poor Chuck would not fit under the pinch rail even if I forced it under Harrison's car! This photo may not be as epic, or as bad ass as the Random Snap of the burning and sparking BMW Z3 that Jeroen posted, but it does show how slammed this car really is --and I have seen my fair share of slammed Roadsters.

Head on over to the Slamburglars blog if you want to see more photos of this car.

Awesome shot, Linh.  It was nice hanging out with everyone yesterday.  This sparking wasn't a one time deal, either.  This happens every day. Everywhere he drives. This is his daily and its absolutely ridiculous.

Rabiaa said:

That is super nice. But they could higher it just a liittlee bit maybe? Seeing sparks fly out is kind of cheesy, IMO.

December 21, 2009 7:52 PM [flag as inappropriate] Speedhunters

ivan the terrible said:

rabiaa, you obviously dont understand slam because if you did,  you'd retract your last statement about making it "higher".

joe, your face is played.

I don't understand slam either. Can someone explain to me why it's considered cool to damage your car on purpose?

Foxie || CarsxGirl said:

Awww, hell. I don't need any more NA's to make mine look like a freaking lifted truck. :( I already catch grief for having maybe three to five good inches of ground clearance.....

Zach Meister said:

To everyone complaining about slammed cars,

Who cares what your opinion is about it, it's a lifestyle just like all other car

styles. Some live and breathe lifted trucks, drag cars, American muscles.

We live and breathe slammed cars, sometimes it may do damage, but it's worth it to us. We enjoy what we are.
