believe it or not, this rubber tapered thingy originated from rally whereby the mechanic, tuners or them drivers themselves need to lower or higher their suspension setups. More or less like a dipstick to check on their ground clearance.
And they don't leave it hanging all the time too. Only when they need to do basis...
so i think this useless trend found on those jacked up cars suspension to look like a 4WD is pretty funny... especially when you overtook them during corners heheh
but i would like to see on jumping across the gravel or divider or climb some accent for that matter heheh
even tarmac rallies don't do this kind of stuff ;)
