I'd like to see it enter into a tunnel
Just one. lolShould be fuzzy eyeballs
Very 90s but some of them are cool.View attachment 1715859344 What about the these paint jobs with the wave lines, splatter bubbles and multiple stripes
The "tuners" stole that from the '80s mini-truck customizers. Actually , I think it was a "thing" back in the '50s too. This one is especially bad, as it still has a custom roll pan/bumper with a plate opening!
Well said.The true "Hot Rod" crowd came from post WWII. Where they took their war improvisational mechanics skills and applied to cars to make them perform better. The bulk were the "Lakesters" that ran their high performance machines on the dried lake beds out West. This of course gave birth to Drag Racing. And the now "Gassers"
That crowd was not fans of Muscle Cars. Calling them "Factory sellouts." And did that detour any of us? Nope. We had a platform that cannot only compete with the hotrods of yesteryear on the track. But also maintain some streetabilty? (And in my opinion an improved "Cool" factor.)
The collapse of raw performance due to environmental concern brought an end to the Muscle car era. (At least as we knew it.) In the mid 70s. This of course gave birth to the "Tuner" crowd starting in mid 80s. They found ways around the EPA restrictions to their credit. But also brought styling changes that leaves us Muscle heads just scratching?
Now it's EV's turn. With some very impressive performance numbers as well as efficiencies. Yes, they fall even farther behind in the "Cool factor." But it is the future. Where Mom's grocery getter can lay down an 11 sec 1/4 if she so choose. Advancements will not wait because of crying and hoping "Fonzi" rides in and saves the day? I'm looking forward to my first EV purchase. Just needs a little more range and better charging support. I would say 4-5 years from now?
Sounds like my *** after a night of Mexican foodI agree that today's wheel designs have taken ugly to a whole new level. But on the performance side? The "Fart can" exhaust! WTH?

I think when done tastefully a larger wheel/tire can look very niceAnd let's not forget that any wheel larger then 15 inches looks like CRAP on a muscle car
If you find one let me know...cause that ain't it
that is just one mans out dated opinionIf you find one let me know...cause that ain't it
never seen that one.
That's just your opinion... While of course you're entitled to it that's all it is...And let's not forget that any wheel larger then 15 inches looks like CRAP on a muscle car
What is it that consumes you people with so much hate and discontent...

Your last three posts provide us with a great insight on your hate and discontent... I really feel bad for how bitter you are...Lol
Remember those frame cracking later model trucks like in the pic? They were such a let down... and those iroc camaros...with the plate frames that said "Iroc the ladies".... they were cylinder head cracking garbage barges.
Work on them while growing up 'like me' and you'll understand .
Again I'm not full of hate and discontent but if you'd like to read that into it by all means you just don't understand my sense of humor. Maybe your Dodge drives like crap cuz you work on it? Chevy's ..they Ride Like cars when they're trucks.. bounce all over loaded...the frame cracks.. you must not have loaded anything but aluminum sheet metal perhaps. Idk.Your last three posts provide us with a great insight on your hate and discontent... I really feel bad for how bitter you are...
My last square body Chevy was one of the best trucks I ever had.. I hold tons of scrap metal with it for years and years.. never had a problem with it and it drove smooth almost as if it was like a car... I love my Dodge truck and wouldn't trade it for anything but it drives like crap...
