Usually defined, by people with taste, as destruction of a vehicle to fit into a crowd or "kill the scene" by using wide, low offset wheels with questionable tires and camber settings. Such cars normally can't handle well nor do they fare well on bumpy or uneven roads. A stanced car usually has high-quality performance parts installed that aren't being used as they were intended. Drivers of stanced cars also normally have a "my shit don't stink" mentality and believe people are haters because stanced cars are some sort of way to convey the image of success, a very twisted thought indeed. Most stanced cars have a tendency to look like every other stanced car, there is very rarely any actual individuality.
