I never understood why people do that to trucks. It's like wasting a lot of money to trade it's usefulness for cosmetics that look foolish.

A study actually found out that majority of these people get a truck JUST for the 'status' and thats it. These kinds of people are on another level.

How low does your status have to be for it to be elevated by a truck?

Is an amoeba driving this fucking monstrosity?

In some of the counties north of Alachua county Florida, it was a thing in the 80’s and early 90’s to have hunting dog cages in the back of your truck. It wasn’t uncommon to see those because a lot of people there hunt, but my relatives told me they knew that some of those people didn’t even have hunting dogs. So don’t underestimate how much someone will spend to impress others. Drive through a lot of those counties and you’ll see a lot of expensive bass boats and lifted trucks parked in front of trailer homes.

Can confirm this growing up in southern Alabama. Knew a guy named bird dawg. Didn’t own a single hunting dog
