    Personal opinion... not loving it.. Fronts aren't nearly low enough to pull off the rear tucking that hard

    Re: MadRussian. Bag'd.

    I got flamed for not liking it in the other post, but I don't really care so I'll say it again, only more completely to shut down certain people who had a lot to say about me.

    While I can appreciate how much hard work and ingenuity it took to create this unique setup, and that there's a larger scene/acceptance of this style in Europe, there are two issues I have with admiring the overall result based on those two points:

    1. We aren't in Europe, and furthermore us Americans are more used to seeing this style out of less classy rides than Audi (see above reply about an Impala w/ daisies, lol). In America, it just doesn't fit; that doesn't make us bad, it makes us different. It also has nothing to do with keeping an open mind.

    2. Merely being unique thru hard work and a creative design doesn't automatically make it a "cool" or "good" result; it merely means you spent a lot of time and effort doing something. Someone applying a lift and off-road tires to a Quattro to see how well it would work as an off-roader is another "unique" idea that would take a lot of elbow-grease and thinking power to complete, but it would be equally ridiculous-looking.

    In the end, you're basically just lowering the car to get it as low as possible, which seems like a foolish objective considering our cars are designed to handle various types of terrain, from pavement, to dirt, to snow. Personally, it just looks like you have about 20 people piled in your back seat and are incapable of even going over a lane marker without scraping.

    Hard work and creativity don't really mean much if the result doesn't have anything to do with form nor function. Sorry man!

    Re: MadRussian. Bag'd.

    It's definitely pretty gangsta. I like it because it's unique for a show car. Would I do it to my car? No, mainly because I like the handling of my coilovers and the look of 1-2 fingers of gap. The thing I like the most is the natural picture frame with the fence...

    Here's the thing, you wouldn't buy a jeep for circle track, you wouldn't buy a motorcycle to haul car parts..so why in the world would you take a car which is so famed for its handle and "un-handle" it.. slam it and make it into.. a brand thats going out of business "cough CHEVY cough cough"..

    it reminds me of this (autoblog) article ( http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/30/l...urethane-foam/) - in a way "madrussian" seems so appropriate.

    img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/44.jpg"

    it just looks wrong.. like you've spent all your money on the car, but now can't afford the shocks.. oyy..

    Re: MadRussian. Bag'd.

    yeah, not sure why there had to be a whole other thread on this. Why not just post in the other one.

    Also, Madrussian's car isn't done. He knows he needs rims and the like. And, he probably hasn't finished working out the kinks and settings in his bag system.

    I also don't understand how PureEuro feels like he needs to give someone crap about their car in such a fashion, when his personal choices with his car brought the same type of judgment as the russian's. Your car came out awesome in the end, but i remember how everybody had problems with the rims. I, and a lot of others, liked the 20" rims, even before you painted them, but a lot of people felt the other way.

    And A4s can look sick on bags: (Capt. Obvious' ride)

    I like it because it's unique for a show car.
    No it's not, see above quote, there are PLENTY of show cars on bags, just not Audi's.

    Re: MadRussian. Bag'd.

    I actually didn't see the thread and saw the picture posted over on Vortex... so I thought I'd share...

    And its not that I don't like bagged cars... I just think its retarded to go so low in the rear if you can't come close to matching it in front... Its like a girl wearing a DD bra with a B-cup... I'd rather see her without a bra all together...

    Edit: And if you notice, Capt Obvious' car isn't retarded-low in the rear (or front)... Lower than most, but not "hey, look at how low I can possibly get"

    you sure about that?
    oh and not for nothing, but he's also re-worked his bag setup about 3 or 4 times just for the sake of getting the front lower. your facts is mad wrong yo.
    \

    and who cares if he bagged his car?
    who cares if he puts 24"s on it?
    no one bashes the 408974 people who have rs4 reps for being un-original, he's doing his own thing. and thats what modding your car is all about.

    if he wanted to track the car for good handling he would've done some siq-tight PSS9's or something.

    Sup man,

    Not stalking you (although it may seem like it) Maybe I got 'tude but that's just the way I am, maybe we'll run across each other in a smaller world and you'll see without knowing its me, and you'll see that I'm expressive like yourself. It's cool, you have an opinion and you should. However, I'm just reaching out to the followers through you because you were very one sided and didn't show a bit of opinion through my observation and instead laid it as a fact of what your thought was. And as you can see, there are a lot of followers out there that can't form their own opinion and make their own choices (we see this primarily in the form of, "What do you guys think of these rims?" and other various questions posted a lot on here.) I, Madrussian, and PureEuro along with many otheres don't expect everyone to like what he's done. I do, but that's me. Trucks are made for pulling crap around and dumping stuff in the bed for carrying what nots, but hey I'm a fan of a dumped mini or any truck or a lifted one. The modding scene is a large scene with different styles, different likes and dislikes. But I don't go to car shows with a can of spray paint to bash peoples cars and say and show how much I hate EVERYONE's style besides my own, but instead to admire the creativity of everyone from Cavaliers to Audi's to whatever...But hey, it is the internet "Opinion's R Us"

    Really not looking for an argument here, but I'm sure that at some point we'll agree to disagree.

    Re: MadRussian. Bag'd.

    Cant believe you started a thread just to say how you didnt like someone else's car. If he just got the thing give him a chance to finish off the look, maybe he'll add more to finish it or better it somehow. Even if you dont like it then just say it in his teaser thread maybe he likes it and maybe others do. Sorry if im sounding angry im not angry just dont know why someone would start a thread for this.

    Re: MadRussian. Bag'd.

    I think bringing up Cap'n's car is a good point. Because if I recall correctly, everyone really likes his end result as a general observation. Madrussian just got his setup in. He was excited and posted first pictures to the people who are most enthusiastic about modding Audi's. It's probably a bit insulting to think that he would/can actually operate his vehicle at that level. Let him work out the kinks. They're bags, they adjust right? It just so happens that his car is slammed in those first "teaser" shots.

    And for all those people that are quick to post, "fail," "noob" and "search;" I think you should worry less about 'telling' rookie members off and worry more about members who take up entire threads bashing another members car.

    Afterall, it's us in this community that decide what is cool or uncool on the forums.
