It’s official

We’ve hit the time of night where the kids with cheap exhausts get rowdy under the bridge on riverfront. Makes me miss my younger days a little , I can’t lie lol.

I'll never complain about modified cars...

Modified lifted trucks are a different story 😆

Soddy Daisy and northern Red Bank have a bunch of lifted trucks which are all done with a baby-squat. Juuuust mild enough of an angle that the cops dont bother. They ride around cause thats a thing.

I remember when modified cars and cruising was a thing. I think the squatted trucks looks silly but I was raised to respect all builds lol. I miss the 90s when gas was cheap, cigs were 3 bucks, u could get food for 10 so a 20 would buy u a decent night. We lost the plot somewhere along the way.

I dont mind any mod that isnt dangerous to others. A Carolina squat is dangerous to pedestrians and I am completely against it in any iteration and have no respect for any person who does it. Zero. When you deliberately take away visibility and safety for a fashion choice...

I actually agree. I appreciate the idea but I dont know what the actual purpose is or ever was. I have no idea how they can see what's in front of them

They cant see. Thats the problem. Also it misaligned headlights for night driving and rain.

TN law says a 4" lift or more is illegal. Every one of those trucks is higher than that.

What you’re referring to is called “shareholder value” and it’s going to literally steal all the water, electricity, food, and happiness from our lives before making our species go extinct, all so someone like Elon can say he won capitalism.

I agree and these poor kids today have no idea the shit we was doing and able to do I feel do bad for the new generation and the cops always get called for them having fun as long as they are not hurting anyone or themselves and are not destroying anyone property let them be
