I have no problems with those guys meeting up to show off their strobe lights, body kits, underbody neon, sound systems, big wheels, obnoxious spoilers, and vertical door kits, but they need to stop doing it in the smallest busiest parking lots in town.
Tiny lots let them fill it easier. They look important, and it seems like there are more cars cause the lot is full. Silly ricers, Meet&Greets are for Jeeps.

the new Rubis have the Pentastar v6 (way better power/torque) and Hybrid Dana 44s front and rear

Anyone can buy one of the J8 military d44/d60 axles from MOPAR though - those things are insane
