since we are speaking of VW and stance culture, i'd share my 0.02.
I wouldn't say hate of stance, but I definitely hate when people would call my car a tiguan (unless just fucking around and not actually encouraging me to go lower) or bag it or "stance or go home", basically encouraging anyone to go that route. Luckily, my area is pretty chill regardless. whether stance, functional, etc. I personally don't like wheel gap either and I'm also not a fan scraping like no tomorrow. Few guys at the meet who are stanced and bagged respect for the direction of what I go with my car. A good daily that can be functional, stance/hellaflush is just something I wont do. I can still make my car look good while not low enough to be concerned about where to go. it's all about preference, and different strokes. I plan on tracking too.
