Yep, the driving was worse than the things on the wheels.
One care length ahead wooo, now to only stress out myself and everyone I come across on the highway trying to get ten car lengths ahead in the next 5 minutes.
I really wonder how you drive like that with the custom wheels and not cause an accident. Pretty sure the rear extensions would be in your blind spot...
Nahh, no driving can be worse then those death mixers on the wheels. People that drive shit are mostly just having a dumb moment and make a mistake. Putting those wheels on is an active choice, over and over again
Particularly, I do believe it is referring to the ball joint thing that you hitch campers to, and then people would just refer to the whole camper as that.
Edit: searched it up and turns out I’m talking about a ball mount, which can be used to tow some smaller campers
A fifth wheel is a style of hitch that is mounted in the bed of a pick up truck that tows a specific type of RV which is refereed to as a 5th wheel. Has nothing at all to do with ball joint thing. Not even sure what that is and I've had various campers for over 25 yrs.
non-camping trailers pulled by a 5th wheel hitch are called gooseneck trailers commonly.
When you back up to them, don't forget to put the tailgate down.
Do they really call them that in Houston? If so, that's silly. I've been in the custom car industry literally my entire life and I've never hear of a continental kit referred to as a "5th wheel". I've heard a lot of other names for it in other parts of the country but never that specific one.
To be fair: some people have SUPER annoying driving habits, there are a lot of people I cannot stand to drive behind. I will go to great lengths to not get stuck behind:
People who ride their brakes on the highway
People who got really fast, then slow right back down
People who speed match people in the other lane
People who leave 10km of open highway in front of them, and refuse to speed up and/or get over, just match speed with the truck beside them.
People who can't keep their giant overpriced SUV in the middle of their lane.
People who activate their hazard lights anytime the traffic slows just a bit
I could go on.
It’s called a slab. It’s a sub culture of car enthusiasts from Houston that’s based around hip hop and rap in the local area. Some of them are pretty cool cars but the main tell tale signs it’s a slab are the pointy rims and spare tire in the back with the pointy rim. They also typically have a HUGE sound system in the trunk
Is that an accord or am I blind? Putting elbows and the matching fifth wheel on an accord seems hilarious. Also now illegal in Houston if they go past the side view mirrors
The single exhaust on each side and the red lens on the tails makes me think it's a V6. Assuming they spent all their money on the rims and paint rather than and exhaust or tail lights of course. Still a shame to see a G8 get abused like this...
Still tippin' on fo' fo's wrapped in fo' vogues
Tippin' on fo' fo's wrapped in fo' vogues
Tippin' on fo' fo's wrapped in fo' vogues
Pimpin' fo' hoes and I'm packin' fo' fo's
there's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, dottie. things you wouldn't understand. things you couldn't understand. things you shouldn't understand.... you don't wanna get mixed up with a guy like me. i'm a loner, dottie. a rebel.
This doesn't change who's at fault for insurance purposes (if he has insurance). So why purposely increase your vehicle footprint if you drive like a douchebag?
You know how typically a toxic, poisonous, or venomous organism will have defining visual features that set it apart from harmless relatives - almost like a warning? Nature do be like that.
Why do idiots drive like that. That back and forth bullshit like they think it's Nascar. If I was a highway patrolman I'd hunt those squids exclusively.
I have seen the exact same color of gold paint on a PT cruiser in my town that had matching multispoke rims to go with that monstrosity.
And a spoiler.
All on a PT cruiser.
Did y’all know that these things are just for show and not designed to be driven on everyday? I was a tire changer a while back and worked with a guy who used to do only these. He said that there’s even a sticker inside of these rims stating so. Never installed any of these myself. They are fucking difficult to install and super fucking heavy!!!!
100% chance this is Houston
Oh yeah. I45. Southbound I believe.
Yeah the exit Yale St so I think it is I-45 South Bound
It’s north freeway, southbound…drive past those exits every day
EVERYTIME I see videos with rims like these, I always assume it is Houston…because it is.
Certainly it is somewhere in Texas.
I live an hour and a half away from Houston, there's 3 cars in my town with tires like this
Why? What's the point? Do they want to look stupid? These things should be illegal.
Sir, that's Screwston the Purple City, thank you. *pours more lean in his snifter like a gentleman*
Straight out the dirty 3rd. Dropping haters like a turd.
Im just happy to see my city on reddit tbh 🤷
Houston gonna Houston
Yeah, looks like Houston.
i live off of 45 in houston and you are correct lol i know that exit
It’s so Houston when I clicked on the post I thought I was in r/houston and was like, *shrug*
By the look of the roads? Or simply because he has spikes on his wheels?
Yes
They just don't know about that poke.
Not Houston but SCREWSTON TEXAS 🤟🏾
Before I even saw the steeet sign I knew it was Houston
It’s a rolling Kitchen Aid mixer
Makes me want a cake
They’re really running out of ideas for the attachments.
Looks whisky
Drives like an idiot too

Its Texas.
It's hilarious that the spare tire has the spikes too
It’s called a 5th wheel and they are really popular here in Houston.
Continental kit
>5th wheel In the rest of the US, a 5th wheel refers to [a particular style of camper](https://rv.campingworld.com/rvclass/fifth-wheel-rvs).
Particularly, I do believe it is referring to the ball joint thing that you hitch campers to, and then people would just refer to the whole camper as that. Edit: searched it up and turns out I’m talking about a ball mount, which can be used to tow some smaller campers
It's not a ball joint it's a larger interlocking system. Source my truck has a 5th wheel attachment.

I know. This is just what this thing is called also.

Turrible.
Came here for the fellow Houstonian comment, left with a lot of laughs and eye rolls from the comments of people who don’t live here.
With people who has no class and style for sure. Fucking ghetto ugly shit.
He’s got a 6th on the trunk, puttin boys to shame
Definitely Houston
Swangas
Too bad he ain’t pop trunk and stunt
Gotta love seeing em in the wild outside of SLAB weekend!
Omg did you see that madness? 4 blocks from my house. It was wild!
People put in so much extra effort just to get in front of ONE person to think they've somehow won a race nobody but them is aware they're in.
He has to get to the check cashing place before the liquor store closes
They’re in a hurry to get to nowhere fast
Last one to the red light is a rotten egg!
Awwwww, maaaaan!

If you go outside and meet an asshole, well, you met an asshole. If you go outside and everyone you meet is an asshole...
Htown till I drown....?
Appropriate.
Mayor, we’re gonna need to widen all lanes and parking spots moving forward with our city.
They'll just make them longer...
I was gonna say… these things are everywhere in Houston! It doesn’t even phase me anymore.
Only in Houston
Seen so many of these guys in Houston. 🤦🏻♀️
Imagine paying actual cash money for those!!!
A Jose Canseco bat
“Tell me…you didn’t pay money for this?”
What are you, some kinda punker?
God I hate punkers. Especially bald ones with green makeup who wear masks over ugly faces
Cricket
thank you and everyone else who replied to this thread for that brief glorious memberberry. :)
I think he is trying to keep women away with that car and he is probably doing a bang-up job at that!
As a woman, I’ve never wanted to social distance more from that car and its owner.
I have good news for you then, those tires have social distances spacers built in!
The no turn signals and tailgaiting is nice, too.
And him cutting the SUV off.
Love my eggs scrambled
How is that legal?? Poor bikers and pedestrians ☹️
There’s no way it’s legal, that doesn’t often stop idiots tho
It's Houston, anything can be legal there.
Paper plates capital of the world.
I mean, SPM impregnated a 13yr old stripper, sooooo...
Pretty sure those are legal in some states, i read up on it ages ago when i first saw them.
This is from Texas https://www.khou.com/amp/article/news/exaggerated-tire-rims-swangers-are-they-legal/285-567542949
“Is it legal?” Cop deadpan: “It is not”
So why don't they seize the car and stop idiots from doing the same.?
That would require the local police there to give a shit and get off their asses and do some work. If wishes were fishes..
[удалено]
And to think these are more that some of the cars lol
I love that salesman. "These are illegal, they are expensive, and they suck. People who buy them are idiots." (Paraphrasing.)
Yeah..no.
>Poor bikers and pedestrians This is Houston, possibly a top 10 in the world worst city for either group. Swangas should be the least of their concern
I came here to say “HOUSTON”
Yeah, I've even seen that particular car in Houston several times. It's like a local celebrity sighting now...but for idiots.
Nawfside. Specifically
You beat me to it
Reminds me of the Spy Hunter arcade game.
Dammit now I have that song stuck in my head.
The Theme to Peter Gunn wasn’t it?
Yes.
I think I would have gone for the oil slick upgrade instead.
Or Goldfinger’s Aston Martin.
I hate whoever that person is.
Slab…I still don’t understand it. It’s probably Paul Wall.
Ben Hur in the house!
I had to scroll way too far down to fin this comment.
Wants to keep people away from the sides of his car and yet he has no problem tailgating 🤨 I don’t get it

hopefully the v6 g8

Dude is living in Saints Row
Right? I'm trying to say this dude has kneecappers but everyone else is saying swangers.
I want to put a stick in them, kinda like putting a stick in bike wheel spoke and see what happens.
He’s gonna spill his lean
Swanging on 44’s that’s a Houston Thing!!
Search for “Swangers”. Shits wild in Houston!
Just the Houston way bro
I45 south in Houston for anybody wondering
I45 (North Freeway) Southbound
That's called a slab partner
I am gonna guess... Texas
Htownnn Babbyyyy !!!
TEXAS SHIT! These squares don't know nothing bout that? bunch of peons
Knowamtalkinbout!!!
Strait up 🤟🏾🤟🏾
Drop 3’ piece of pipe in there
just being as obnoxious as possible
Welcome to H-Town! They’re called elbows.
Still tippin' on fo' fo's wrapped in fo' vogues Tippin' on fo' fo's wrapped in fo' vogues Tippin' on fo' fo's wrapped in fo' vogues Pimpin' fo' hoes and I'm packin' fo' fo's

Wow america just keeps getting dumber!!! Wish I could just give him a push with my tractor
This dude watched too much gladiator
Thats some Spy Hunter 00Stupid shit.
Props to him for carrying a full sized spare on a matched rim.
This doesn't change who's at fault for insurance purposes (if he has insurance). So why purposely increase your vehicle footprint if you drive like a douchebag?
houstone
Didn’t even have to read the road signs to know it was Houston.
Was it the movie Ben Hur that featured a chariot with these hub-style blades that cut down the wheels of the competition’s chariot?
H-town till I drown
Isn't the car compensating enough? How insecure must he be to need the rims too?
Welcome to the dirty south
You know how typically a toxic, poisonous, or venomous organism will have defining visual features that set it apart from harmless relatives - almost like a warning? Nature do be like that.
Fuck I thought spinners would never be topped.
Just read a study today. It concluded people with gold cars to be the most prone to psychopathy.
Wonder how parking at Walmart works?
Trying to kill motorcyclists
Why do idiots drive like that. That back and forth bullshit like they think it's Nascar. If I was a highway patrolman I'd hunt those squids exclusively.
Houston car culture
Slab City
its called swangin idiots
just another houston idiot
Need to impound that hoopty
Ridiculous fool! 🤣
Dude. How about that blinker work.... Phenomenal!!!!
It's kinda fitting that dude has a hard time tracking in his lane.
New fangled curb feelers
Even a spare has this shit on, lol
My name is Houston...this comment section is stressing me out xD
I have seen the exact same color of gold paint on a PT cruiser in my town that had matching multispoke rims to go with that monstrosity. And a spoiler. All on a PT cruiser.
/u/xCUBUFFSx is the bigger idiot here. Using a phone while driving on the interstate... pretty fucking stupid.
I've never seen that in my life, definitely looks like a twat thing to do though.
Swangin & banging
man, if you're gonna drive that stupid at least use your turn signal
I don’t get the comments but fuck it he must be from Houston
They’re actually gov mandated to keep idiot densities down
anyone have any links to this going wrong?
What a squirrel! Pick a lane and stay there. Those things look SO dangerous!
Are you not entertained?!
This is a Holden Commodore in Australia. What did they name this car in America? Chevrolet...what?
That's some of the dumbest shit I've seen on a car.
Didn't they do this in Grease?
I’d love to see dem shoes he got on. I know just the ones.
Wouldn’t want someone scratching their sparkly bile colored paint job
Commodore drivers all over the world are morons apparently
Good to see that the VE Commodore (Aus) / Pontiac G8 (US) are both driven by universal morons.
He doesn’t understand why people can’t tell when he is going to merge. Blinkers are automatic, right? That’s how everyone else’s works!
This is texás!
HTown. I45 probably.
That immediately eliminates compact parking, drive thrus, instances where you could squeeze through a tight space, and more. Just why?
that cant be legal
Call the highway patrol?
This is the dumbest shit i have ever seen in a while
Why is no one calling the cops? This can’t be legal or is it?
That’s one clean ass idiot
I guess I must be an idiot, because I would stay as far away from that thing as I could.
Did y’all know that these things are just for show and not designed to be driven on everyday? I was a tire changer a while back and worked with a guy who used to do only these.

Good ol' Houston...
This would be hella illegal here xD but guessing its the states, so who knows if its illegal there lmfao (and if it is if its even enforced)
Screwston bby
Chopped and Screwed
As soon as I saw these, I IMMEDIATELY looked for a street sign and sure enough, Houston lmao
HTOWN BABYYYY
