I knew who his C.O. was as he was a coworker....tossed that and chewed his butt.


DOT has all of that data on this stuff. Read thru some old 80's autoweek editions. Heck we still had sealled beams till 89 here in US of A. Only reason we got aero was to help with fuel economy.

^So with what Jason said and quoted law. Is that where low profile tires came from? Kinda makes sense.

[10Toes]

RCW 46.61.680
Lowering passenger vehicle below legal clearance — Penalty.

It is unlawful to operate any passenger motor vehicle which has been modified from the original design so that any portion of such passenger vehicle other than the wheels has less clearance from the surface of a level roadway than the clearance between the roadway and the lowermost portion of any rim of any wheel the tire on which is in contact with such roadway.

Nope, it's true, there are also specs for where a headlight must be height wise up and down.

I know vehicle laws kinda OK. Understand headlights. Bumper/frame measurements. But that initial reasoning behind it seems a bit of a stretch....have a source?

[JasonC]

ahem...

PROFILE NATION & HELLAPROFILE did i use it right?

[ohthejosh]

There was not stance back then... It was called profile... And i will use "profile" instead of "stance" anytime of the week.

Shits weak bro,

You ever drive down the street and rip road reflectors off?

[der affe]

ok, i dug up the issue.

it is from Feb 1975.

the bug was owned by Jim Holmes, the girl is Linda Dill (she worked at Hot VWs) the cop is Bob Cornuke.

[CHIF8008]

California vehicle height code state that the head light must be at least 22inches from the ground.

[Pantless Spency]

If I am not mistaken, headlights should be at least 21" from the ground. They let lose on this because lots of cars won't pass from factory. My bug is way lower than in that in the picture but not tickets yet.


ride height, and NOT on bags.

wow that thing is hot! more pics!
where you at in thebay?

[der affe]

^Almost positive that was the 1st issue of hot VWs. My bug is lower ;)

no, it was the first CAL-LOOK issue. i have it BTW.

IIRC it was one of the guys who worked at FAT who built it.

[Airborneinfantry11]

Nope there are laws like that all over the world, it's just whether the LEOs bother to enforce them.

Mostly has to do with bumper/headlight height. Most of the "bro" trucks are outside the regulations as well.

Lol havent herd Leo used in awhile

[DatUtahGuy]

It's funny when I was in SoCal tearing it up on the 5 doing 100mph no cops stopped me, but then again I have UTAR plates
