Nowadays no one cares about extremely lifted trucks, or at least I don’t.
All I see are trucks that are lifted from the ground with humongous tires put on them and Hot Wheels look-alikes.
Once in a while I see these so-called lifted trucks on the streets cruising around town, and I just think they really need to grow up.
I know they were once famous years back, but this is a new era. Then again, if you want to make things harder for yourselves when entering and exiting your truck, so be it.
But what if one night someone is following you on your way to your car and you own one of these lifted trucks and it takes you about five minutes to get inside, you’re screwed.
Personally, I think that there should just be regular trucks out on the streets. It’s OK to drop your truck a little or even lift it, but be reasonable and not take it to the extreme.
And for those who feel the need to personalize their trucks, they should just go to a local toy store and get one of those toy models.
It would also be a whole lot safer for civilians in case of an accident.
Just think about it, if you were to be in a car accident anytime soon, would you rather it be with a regular truck or an enormous lifted truck? I would much rather prefer a regular truck.
I understand there are still people out there in Bakersfield and throughout the United States who find these trucks amazingly fascinating, but that doesn’t mean those of you have to own one of these monsters.
There are other options to fulfill your desires such as building one at home, drawing one, watch movies or read books and magazines about them.
Also, throughout the year they have events at Rabobank Arena where they go all out and make the arena look like an outside dirt field and they have these monstrosities smashing cars and performing stunts. These shows even have small children driving the trucks.
I don’t think these events ever sell out and I think it’s a total waste of money, but this is where all the truck fanatics can go with friends and drink if they like, go crazy and enjoy themselves.
So with all do respect, if you own a monster truck take it easy on the road and respect all the “tiny” cars around you because I am sure they don’t like the feeling of possibly being smashed.
