Was this ever popular?

Was it, it must have been because I seen many of these on the road back in the day, watch them on a rainy day and all you can see is a spray of water from the door back.
And I see many Jeeps and trucks (4x4's) on the road here doing it now #-o
Stay far away from them because it will throw rocks and anything they hit in the air.. Should be against the law to do this her Jack, but it must be ok.. #-o

Grumpus nailed it, lmao David :D
