Hella
The word “hella” is an adjective.
It supposedly originated in the San Francisco Bay Area,
and judging by the overuse I see every day, I’m inclined to agree with that.
It can mean anything from “very” to “lots of” (this car has hella power,
this car is hella powerful) and is sometimes even an adverb
(he’s hella runnin’ from the cops!). In my native tongue (Boston-language)
we’d overuse “wicked” in place of “hella”, and we often do.
Flush
Flush generally refers to the fitment of wheels and tires with the chassis
and fender flares. The closer the wheels are to being flush with the bodywork,
the more “hellaflush” that car is. This generally requires an obscene amount
of camber combined with a stretched tire, which changes the angle of the sidewall
of the tire.
Bonus
There are a few ways to score extra points in the hellaflush world.
■Get your car as close to flush with the ground as possible
■Increase the backspacing of your wheels. More.
■Stretch the narrowest tires possible on the widest wheels
(don’t forget your backspacing!) possible.
■Shave door handles, trunk latches, keyholes, gas tank covers,
and everything else that keeps the body of the car from being “flush”.
■Try to tuck your entire wheel and tire into the wheelwells. Ideally,
it should all be shoved up where nobody can see it.
