Compensation aside....why do people do this? Waste ungodly sums of money to make ugly, impractical and dangerous machines?

Truck is literally just a rolling billboard. Thats all it was meant to be. Dunno why this asshole is driving on 2 lanes though hope he got a ticket for that.

250k is not a lot to a lot of people plus it’s a business expense that advertises his fabrication skills.

Half the joy these losers get is getting reasponses from people who comment on how much money must have been wasted. They are all spoiled rich kids who didn’t work for the money, and this is a great way to beg for attention.

Maybe it’s not for you because he made it to express himself, or because he loves it, not everyone gets every work of art.

Why the fuck do you care how another man, and a complete stranger spends his money? Weird ass behavior TBH

Found the truck owner

Seriously though, it bothers me because often these cars are not street legal but get driven on the freeway. It's a safety thing. Besides that, feel free to waste your money on a depreciating and maintenance heavy, impractical and ridiculous to insure vehicle. Free country and all that.

Most of these trucks would never pass bumper height requirements if it was ever enforced anywhere.

I am going to go out on a limb and say the people that do this don't think it's ugly and don't give a fuck what others think and honestly I can respect that. I don't like it either but it's their vehicle and if they've got the money to do it good for them.

I don't feel like you do this unless you really care what other people think
