To be accurate it would be "excessive camber angle"

That lower pic is what I call a " low rider":laughing:

"No rider"

 

[California]

You never heard of 'catching a little fire' going over a bump?

I worked for a low rider enthusiast for a year long ago, and learned some new automotive terms.

Now a days I bet those terms ain't no good

Probably.

They changed frequently. Here's another:

'My Sherlock'.

me: ???

You know, like Sherlock Holmes, impossible you never heard of him. [implied ...., white boy].

??????

Ok, I'l explain it to you, He's my hermano, my homeboy; we both came from (small farmworker community) before we went to college. Get it, he's my 'Holmes!'

... [but Sherlock Holmes was last week's version of My Homeboy, now it's just abbreviated to 'Sherlock'].

Oh.

I must be old...... I have no idea what was said ^ there

'Homeboy' in this case is Hispanic slang for 'someone with the same cultural roots as me' even if they just met each other. In this case family roots from rural Mexico to rural California. 'Holmes' sounds similar to homeboy so it was a code word meaning homeboy, buddy, that others in this coat n tie professional environment weren't supposed to understand. These were all accounting graduates working on the experience criteria to qualify to take the CPA exam.

In a week or so Holmes evolved to Sherlock - intentionally making the meaning doubly encoded, an insider's secret.

I'm old too, this was 35 years ago. 40 years ago in the case of hearing 'catching fire', ie sparks from a low rider car scraping the pavement.

California is the most diverse place on the planet. Sooner or later you'll hear everything. My wife is learning a little Farsi to talk to the Afghan gas station clerk. She's learning it from kinds in the elementary school where she volunteers. The students there represent 27 different languages spoken in their homes. May you live in interesting times ....

To be accurate it would be "not nearly enough camber angle," since leaning inwards is a negative measurement.
