I just smile because I know they're getting 5 MPG, and I can blow their fucking doors off and still get 30. People spend outrageous amounts of money on those big SUVs and the modifications, and I just have to laugh because they could be driving a BMW or Corvette, but instead they have to tip-toe around every corner and they cut themselves on the Fiesta-grade plastics every time they clamber up into their big phallus.
It's worth noting that you rarely see an old pickup or SUV with a lift kit. Hint: that's because they don't survive long before getting totaled.
I find laughs too.. But not at lift kits on trucks. But when people insist on coming back here on dirt roads after rains with Civics, Accords, Tauruses, and Camrys... It's laughable because some actually try it. In a matter of seconds they're on the side of the road or completely stuck. A lifted truck and a fast car do two different things. I don't expect a lifted truck to do 10 seconds in the quarter mile just as I dont expect a fast car to go over anything that isn't paved over and leveled (I can't be the only one who's seen the atrocity that is watching a small car go over a large speed bump).
To expect anything more out of either class is ignorance at its best. I don't know why people are stupid enough to really believe that their car is actually better because it's faster than a truck.. When an Accord can tow 8,000 lbs and (in the case of a lifted truck) drive through a river stream, get back to me. Just because other people like doing different things, doesn't mean they should be criticized for it.
A 10ft high full size truck doesn't do anything well, except waste fuel, kill people, and go through mud pits.
That one aspect right there makes it worthwhile to me.
And useless to the other 99.9% of people who own them.
I care why? It's America. I have other concerns than trying to pry out a buttplug hammered in by my own ego thinking that everyone else should do what I want.
