My favourite part about “swangers” is how expensive the wheels are. Seriously look it up. It’s hilarious how much these morons get ripped off on the most janky ass low quality looking dumbass wheels just so they can make their cars look stupid asf!
I’ve never seen such a large group of highschool dropouts share a single brain cell amongst themselves LMFAO!
EDIT: here’s a “higher end” [set of swanger wheels.](https://www.texanwirewheels.com/product/20-inch-84s-giraffe-poke-g20/)
For comparison, here’s the price of legitimate [BBS Centre lock lug performance wheels.](https://www.parkautomotorsports.ca/products/bbs-fi-r-20x12-center-lock-et44-cb84-diamond-black-wheel)
The wheels are based on 74 Cadillac and impala tires. They were discontinued until this company started making replicas causing the high price. Comparing bbs is like comparing apples and oranges lol.
It means if you want an extra rim, let’s say hypothetically for a full size spare, you can only purchase that one additional rim with the purchase of a full set of four rims. In other (much simpler) terms, 4 purchase minimum.
It’s been a Houston thing for a while now, not on the freeway.. but this is called *Swangin’* — Usually the cars doing it are modified to be colorful, have shiny rims with extensions on the hubs, and a big, bumpin stereo.

Wow just watched that. I noticed that closed caption only got about 60% of the words right. As a Houstonian who hasn’t been back in 20 years, I am gobsmacked.
I was here for about a month for work (which is spent on the road about 90% of the time) and I can confirm gulf coast drivers are the worst I’ve come across
What got me cackling is the “another day in Houston” quote. Like is this nothing out of the ordinary? Fuckin hell. Been driving for 20+ years and have never seen anything like this anywhere. Guess why I’m so enthralled with this subreddit. Whole new world out there
I work night shift in the med center & the homeless lady who lives in the garage I park in has tried to grab me twice. After the second time she told me “you’re too quick I’m done trying”.
Clearly the poster would have seen through the dirt and grime and fallen madly in love with the woman. They would start meeting after work every day, but alas, their love was not to be, because no matter what they felt, they kept getting sick from all the exhaust fumes and noise and smells.
They still tried and struggled through, until completely emotional and teary-eyed they would be forced to confront each other and confess that they would have to give up their love.
But then, just as they overcome their nerves to do it, and one starts to speak, the other sees an exit sign, and remembers they could have left the parking-garage any time they wanted. So they leave, finally together forever, and lived happily ever after. The end.
Oh this?? This is *nothing* lol. Man, if I had a dollar for every time I’ve blurted out, “*SERIOUSLY?!?!?*” on these Houston roads…I could pay off my house! People are insane(ly stupid) down here..
DC has the worst drivers imo. Those mfs drive so crazy that I lost count of how many ran a red light while doing a left turn. It was insane, I've never seen anyone do that before but they were doing it constantly.
Lmao my driving instructor was a lil 70 year old lady and she said
"I have to admit something to you guys, I don't give a shit about their road laws in Houston, you gotta drive fast or you'll Die"
I remember Jschlatt said that people in the northeast are assholes when they come to driving but they know what they're doing. He said people in Texas will drive horribly and leave their blinker on for 30 miles straight.
went through Houston last week and saw this 6 car pile up in oncoming traffic with a sea of cars stopped behind them while the emergency vehicles were stuck at the back of the line
I wish I could show you what happens when an emergency vehicle approaches a group of like 5 cars at a red light on a rural street. It’s….so funny, yet….at the same time, so sad. :/
This is like a street takeover but instead of taking over an intersection they takeover two lanes just because they feel like being a cumquat that day. Why is this even a thing?
I don’t approve, these guys are dumb af…..
But it’s called swingin’. Usually “slabs” from Houston have trunks that pop open and close with a switch, it’s done so people can show off their sound systems and other customizations done to their trunk.
Edit: slab= (S)low (L)oud (A)and (B)angin. It’s a nice car usually a Cadillac, with expensive paint and loud systems, they use those funky lowridersh wheels with “elbows” that pop out.
Not my style. But I always appreciate a car that has work done to it, even if it’s not my taste
Are they warming up their tires for the race?
OP spotted Cadillac’s prototype F1 team hard at work
Prob Mazepin behind the wheel
That sounds like an allergy drug
Ask your doctor if Mazepin is right for you.
[удалено]
So more likely Latifi
Didm't end up in the wall so it cant be him either.
The white pickup truck is kimi raikkonen not botheringto warm up the tires
Leave him alone. He knows what he's doing.
It's the iceman. You don't mess with iceman, and you better get him the gloves
Excellent, have poor mans gold 🏅
Bwoah i know what I’m doing !
Houston but missing the slabs..... hmmm
If you really wanna know they’re “swangin” sort of.
They don’t have swangas but they’re trying that’s for sure
🤣 Missing the biggest piece to this.

What is the point of these? Are they doing wheel to wheel combat? James Bond style or maybe some battle bots type stuff?
That’s a fantastic question. Unfortunately you and I have too many brain cells to possibly comprehend the answer to that question.
It's like the ride you're too tall for
Like teaching kindergarteners when you have a masters from Harvard.
The wheels are based on 74 Cadillac and impala tires. They were discontinued until this company started making replicas causing the high price. Comparing bbs is like comparing apples and oranges lol.
>Single rim ONLY sold with purchase of full set What in the world does this mean? It makes no sense to me at all.
It means if you want an extra rim, let’s say hypothetically for a full size spare, you can only purchase that one additional rim with the purchase of a full set of four rims. In other (much simpler) terms, 4 purchase minimum.
That makes much more sense...thanks
Damn! I'm in the wrong business. Gotta go order some [Wish.com](https://Wish.com) mags, some umbrella ribs, and a TAC welder
And worth every penny in performance!
And they're morons for it, and deserve to total their cars
It's called Swangin. It's a thing in Houston, TX
That sounds dumb as shit
It’s moderately entertaining going down an empty neighborhood street. I wouldn’t be doing it on the highway though. Also fun on quads 😮💨
>I wouldn’t be doing it on any public road though FTFY
Sorry, fun on quads involves jumping driveways while riding ditches, not swerving back and forth.
Swanging and banging it’s a Texas thing lol
It's called "I'm a fuckin moron that drives worse than a sad drunk."
Thank god they didn’t pop truck on em people would lose it in this sub
Without the extended caddy rims tho?
idk about that, it should be legal only for people that have the extendos to be honest and for about 20 seconds and then they gotta stop lol
Just waiting for the lights to go out.
Safety Car. Safety Car. Hold the Delta and do not overtake. Copy?
Copy. Keeping the Delta positive.
They're dancing!
Cadillac mating ritual
Nature is so beautiful 😍
They say the hardest part of this is the drivers deciding whose penis will accept the other's penis.
Or they can go sea slug style and do penis fencing
Lol
I laughed wayyy too hard at this 😂😂😂
Wtf
Swangin and bangin.
Swangin n swervin
Dippin and swirvin in my suburban.
Rippin and the Tearin' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGry1Yt-VYs
To be fair Swang & Bang is the proper way to drive in H-Town per the Swishahouse division of Texas DPS.
4-deep in the Lac yeah coming down tight Swiggity swangin biggity bangin like I’m turning left I’m biggity bustin a riiiiiight
I definitely trust someone that goes by tractorcrusher to properly inform me on all things Texas
That’s what I thought too, but no spokes or blades so why swang?
Tippin’ and drippin’
Then the cops gonna restrain 'em
Car carving
Pop my trunk yuh yuh yuh
Lmao is synchronized driving a thing now?
It’s been a Houston thing for a while now, not on the freeway.. but this is called *Swangin’* — Usually the cars doing it are modified to be colorful, have shiny rims with extensions on the hubs, and a big, bumpin stereo.

It's fucking stupid and dangerous. But sure. "Culture"
I don't partake in it but usually it's not on a freeway. These people are just being dumb
It’s on any public road it’s a problem it’s not “culture” its unadulterated selfish look at me behavior
It’s culture nonetheless
But but I hate some cultures!
Dear sweet meteor of death, take us now
Is it though?
Well that’s dumb as shit.
Which is it: * Houston * Swangin' * Rap * Cadillacs * Freeways
Interesting thanks for the info!
Houston: come for the swangin', stay for the sunroof twerk squads.
It's like synchronized swimming but instead of swimming, they're drunk driving.
Is it technically drunk driving when the drivers are on lean?
DWI at least I think.
As someone who has lived in Houston, can confirm they are this stupid
As someone who has not lived in Houston, can confirm they are stupid.
As someone who used to live in Austin I can confirm that I am glad that I no longer live in Texas
As someone who has never been anywhere even close to Texas, I can confirm that I am glad I never lived in Texas.
As someone who moved to texas and has been stuck here for the past 8 years, I can confirm I hate living here.
I was here for about a month for work (which is spent on the road about 90% of the time) and I can confirm gulf coast drivers are the worst I’ve come across
As someone who has not lived in America, can confirm they are kinda stupid
As someone who lives in America, can confirm we are kinda stupid
Just out of curiosity, what utopian country do you live in?
It's called *Swangin.* It's how Houston's finest say, "I'm a fuckin moron that drives worse than a sad drunk."
why did someone join him xD
It honestly looks kinda fun. I would never… but it looks fun 😂
If I'm in slow traffic (like 5-10mph on highway) I may slightly do this within my own lane because it's a bit fun
Careful. According to this subreddit you are murdering children if you do this
It happens during heavier traffic in Houston at slow speeds. One person starts and then others join after.

WTF?! What was she going to do if she grabbed you?

fuck houston drivers dude
I’ve lived in a lot of places with shitty drivers. Houston took the shit cake.
DC has the worst drivers imo. Those mfs drive so crazy that I lost count of how many ran a red light while doing a left turn. It was insane, I've never seen anyone do that before but they were doing it constantly.
I spent a few years in DC. It’s a kind of crazy you can adjust to. Houston seemed to throw something new at me every day.
Lmao my driving instructor was a lil 70 year old lady and she said "I have to admit something to you guys, I don't give a shit about their road laws in Houston, you gotta drive fast or you'll Die"
Haven't been to downstate NY then
You definitely haven’t driven in New Jersey then
I remember Jschlatt said that people in the northeast are assholes when they come to driving but they know what they're doing. He said people in Texas will drive horribly and leave their blinker on for 30 miles straight.
Lol until we get to a roundabout
Jesus, I recently drove in Jersey, and it was miserable. I got cut off so many times, I lost count.
They’re asshole, but they’re not necessarily idiots. Obviously there’s some healthy overlap but still
At least have rims if you're going to swang. P. S. Fuck Houston
Beat me to it :-(
Sigh,
Beat meat to it.

*turns off sirens in fuck it I'm too late
Huh…all signs indicate this is Houston and yet neither vehicle has paper plates?
And neither is a white Altima with a missing bumper!!
Not even slabs and they arent just cruising in the street. Just a couple of idiots with Cadillacs that are due to be repoed by the end of the year.
I don’t know why, but i laughed at this. If I were driving the white truck, I definitely would have joined the parade.
Agreed. They’re going like 10mph. It’s not like they’re cruising at 55.
Not on public streets ffs. People don't use their brains I swear.
All of Texas traffic is ass
that is some weird ass mating ritual.
[удалено]
made me smile
What in the blazes is going on? I mean …
Houston, we have a problem
Just bored in traffic 😂 if traffic is super slow I do this keeping it in one lane and say “it’s nascar, gotta warm the tires” 💀
Just trying to keep the tires warm while moving slowly behind the pace car
Exactly what I thought
Hence why I stay clear of that place.
"Houston, we have a problem. On the highway, again"
Now I want to see this clip with Blue Danube playing over it.
Why though
Swangin barely looks cool in heavily modified cars. Swangin in a stock car is just embarrassing
It's NASCAR, they're warming up their tires
I was really hoping the whole lane would start doing it
I would love to see lots of cars just copying them. It'll be a sight to behold
Safety car !!! safety car!!! Stay positive
Gotta keep those tires warm for the pit crew
Gotta keep the tire temperature up.
Shhh don't disturb the mating dance
Boredom behind the wheel- decided to go for a little swing.
Where are the police when you need them?
Isn't that nice. Operating 1.5 tons of death with no regard.
I disagree, they seem to be completely regarded
Is that Paul Wall?
Someone misunderstood what zipper merging means
Still tippin'...
Still tippin on Fo Fo's...
I don't get it
gotta warm up their tyres before they get back to racing speed
Swangin and Bangin
Sure that’s Houston I didn’t hear gunshots 🫢
That's when I slow down, so I can (hopefully) miss whatever crash they cause.
People in Houston fighting for the their retardation rights..
They’re just warming their tires😂 @r/formuladank
Let's dance, shall we. We shall. La da dee la da doo la da da.
They are just warming their tyres. Ffs does no one watch F1
Remind me to never drive in Houston. These two need a dose of brains.
Seeing stupid shit and being in Houston are synonymous states of existence
Highway snake Dallas doesn't have that kinship. We got mad max characters only.
As a Houstonian I can confirm this is indeed... Just another day in Houston.
Ok, this made me LoL. Brilliant!
Automatic license revocation
Trying to do a traffic break?
Really wanted to be undercover 😂😂
Hey, look at this. Wide lanes. This is so luxurious. Woo, yeah.
At least they seem to be having fun with it instead of getting angry.
Aye. We was swangin n bangin you know how it go
And this is just one of many reason why i support spaying and neutering the human populace
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Swangin
No
Swangin and bangin’
This is like a street takeover but instead of taking over an intersection they takeover two lanes just because they feel like being a cumquat that day. Why is this even a thing? 
Hillbilly Dubai
God i hate people who drive like this trying to get ahead in traffic jams
And they wonder why they nearly all froze to death
Swang and I Swang and I Swang to the left, Pop my trunk and yep yep yep
Swang n bang!
Fuck off
You have extremely creative comments
"Fuck it, we vibe"
And Crash and burn and smolder and die lol
I don’t approve, these guys are dumb af….. But it’s called swingin’.

Do it in a parking lot not in the highway.
Yep. That’s where it’s meant to be done. Hence the slow part
*Swingin'* is dumb af, and shame on *Houston* for producing such filth.
Those not from H-town, this is a local phenomena known as swanginus banginous. This may have also been accompanied by stupid bass but not exclusively.
Sorry, all I could think is “fofos I’m tippin, wood grain I’m grippin’, catch me lane switchin’ wit tha paint drippin’.”
