Police caught a 15-year-old Greymouth youth driving an early-model Mitsubishi Lancer that had been lowered in a cheap and novel way.
Lowering a car so that it rides closer to the ground is fashionable with car enthusiasts.
Constable Rachel Lord, of the Greymouth police, said it appeared the Lancer had been lowered by loading the boot full of rocks, rather than by the usual method of cutting the springs.
Police had responded to a complaint of dangerous driving after the car was seen swerving across State Highway 73 near Kumara, and forced it off the road, giving the driver a pink sticker, indicating it was unsafe and could not be driven.
The unwarranted and unregistered car did not belong to the driver.
Charges against the youth and his 27-year-old passenger might be pending, Lord said.
The car is now parked in south Greymouth.
It has badly dented side-panels, no back seat and a bumper held in place by an old seatbelt.
