1. Latin American Coke made with real cane sugar.
2. /end
Pretty sure that's every Coke but American Coke.
It's funny over here as the wanky little on trend food places try to sell the Latin American stuff because it's better, but it's not better than what we have, it's just more expensive.
It's like people that won't drink beer from a plastic cup but beer in a plastic lined can tastes the best.......... People are morons.

EDIT- Or are we talking about Cocaine cut with sugar and I am the idiot?

Non-functional suspension does not look good IMO.
Air ride is more than functional. My '69 C10 truck could go from 2" off the ground to 4" above stock. I could load a ton of hay in the bed, increase pressure from 25psi (normal stance) to 75psi in the back and the truck was totally level.

Road holding, stopping distance, wear and tear on other parts, these all depend on suspension and engineering to do what was intended. When someone “slams” an auto, they make it non-functional for what was intended. Like many things, its the 0.1% of the time where you really need it to function, like an airbag.

Have you not seen any of the Ride Tech kits? Just because something is "slammed" doesn't mean it can't perform. The kit I wanted to run from PB Fab uses Corvette suspension with Shockwave air bags that make a classic truck handle like a Corvette, while also being able to lay out. It replaced the steering box with a rack, too. This is an improvement over the traditional C10 truck suspension..

Of course I wrecked my donor and had to abandon the project, but it would have been sweet.

@Jm_ my neighbors kid put bags on his car, then installed a camber kit. This type of lowering clearly impacts performance (and I think it looks like ass).

To me it looks like something failed. :rofl:
