Today's picture is also from the 20th of May. Originally, I wasn't going to post it because I found the picture of the car with the ridiculous spoiler to be so much funnier. However, I thought this would be a good opportunity to go into a few things, using this truck as an example.

Here it is.


What's that, an early to mid 70's Chevy Suburban?

Before I discuss this, I need to clear the air. I was BIG TIME into lowrider mini-trucks in the early 90's. And I've always had a place in my heart for a good classic lowrider, hydrolics and all. Seriously.

BUT

One thing that's always bothered me is when people lowrider and/or street-rod full-sized trucks. It's a truck. If you want a hot-rod, just buy one. NOTE: for some reason there's a difference between a street-rod and a rat-rod, imo, and rat-rod trucks are cool.

With all that said, and my obvious opinions about overly large 4x4s. I think a lowered and tricked out suburban is cool. It's way to big to be an effective off-road vehicle, though I'm certain an early 70's K20 Suburban kicks major ass. This vehicle I'll accept. And tricked out mini-trucks I'll accept. But if I see an old full-sized truck, I'll rant. Even though I'll most likely think it looks very nice.

This and the spoiler image have been edited. I blurred out their license plate numbers. That will continue, just so you know. Everything else will be left camera stock.
