Here’s a question – have you ever come across stanced cars on the streets before? For those who aren’t really familiar, stance refers to a style of car customisation originated from auto sports including the Formula 1 and also drifting.
The term stance is mostly associated with the stanced cars subculture. Apart from lowering their cars, some drivers would also opt to add negative camber to their wheels to achieve the “stanced” look. The popular culture from Japan has since gone viral all over the world.
Recently, a video posted on the VOCKET Car Club Instagram page went viral online. The video shows a Honda Civic car driver having difficulty making their way out of a petrol station. Clearly, the car was struggling to pass through the road due to its suspension being lowered down.
For those who are curious, it’s understood that the incident took place in Thailand. The posting was met with plenty of amusing remarks from local netizens. “I got tired just by watching (the video),” one commentator wrote in the replies. Another also chimed in by putting the driver on blast, saying, “You already know that the car is already perfect. Why did you modify it?”

Others also pointed out that instead of driving them on the road, stanced cars are only suitable for display at events as well as at roadshows. Do you agree with them?
