I work with a guy who bought a brand new Toyota Tacoma, fully loaded, which up here cost him about $45K, and then he spent $12K, yes, $12,000 on a lift kit, just to look cool. He admitted it'll never see the bush, just pavement.
See it around here all the time. Guys go out, buy the biggest (1/2 ton) truck they can get, then immediately install the biggest lift kit and biggest tires only to run the pavement. Funny to watch them have to slow down for every curve in the road. Even funnier to watch them go around every pot hole, patch, and dead squirrel in the road. You know if they're going around a pot hole then they're afraid to take it off road.
