I don't get that judging from an interview with the owner:
As for the look, there's three main points of the way modified cars should look (in Japan), and that's onikyan (cambered wheels), tsuraichi (tyres just barely inside the guards) and hippari (stretched tyres). I wanted to make a car that took all of those things to the furthest point I've ever seen them done.
Also even if it was a joke, it's a bad joke. Like Carlos Mencia level bad joke. Dane Cook level bad joke.

Kind of reminds me of the big wheel I had as a kid after the really big kid rode it down the street.

Haha, or a hot wheels car after someone bent the metal 'axle' and you could never straighten the wheels again.

But yea, it is silly, I've seen these before and don't get it.

I am not a fan of the look but I have to give the guy props. He went to an extreme and pulled off some stuff that I didn't even know was possible, now his car is world famous.
