Really is that a thing? A "fad" having a plate on the front. I used to have a green bay packers plate on the front of my truck. Took it off couple years ago. Looks cleaner. Some states require a license plate on front and back.

I hate to see all the trucks with the rear dropped and the front at normal height. I think they call it a Carolina lean, I can't stand it. Go buy a Honda Civic...

"Delete kit" Headlight "delete kit" spare tire "delete kit" etc.... It makes people sound retarded. Also "stage 1, 2, 3 etc... Usually when people use stage this and stage that they have no idea what they are talking about..

That's how my dmax is without air in the back I have it that way because it's easier to get under my trailers and I air up right before I hook so I don't knock the grease off . But I don't do very many things to be or look cool

I was thinkin more along cars that were a fad, like the Pontiac Aztek...

But yeah, there's a slew of terms and ideas that makes my blood boil, like
"dirtymax"
murdered out
the Cali lean
or seeing 22y/o kids with CCSB trucks with 10" lifts and the CV's still maxed out with powder coating covering the entire undercarriage...

Underglow lighting...
Vynil stickers on the lip of your rimz

Calling wheels rimz

Rolling coal
Thinking smoke is power or cool to do

Dodge guys...and their P-pumped bullshit, tow mirror extended, 8" straight piped exhaust and all the other dodge culture absurdities

"Banks Power" automotive emblem stickers on fenders or doors...
:rolleyes:

Oh, there's more...
:angel:
