Yeah, but just one end because the leaf springs were broken and the shocks were worn out.

LOL well that still counts heck a S-10 lowered with a SBC conversion was very popular back in my HS/College days.

I do. But I was a little embarrassed to admit. Still ducking my head as I admit.

Yeah all white out Mazda B with dancing beds. With a sticker of a palm tree. "Local Motion"


Nope. Don't know nothing about it.

Yes, I have to agree. I kind of miss the lowriders, they were all over the place when we lived in CA, but here the last 20 years I only see a few at a big car show, none on the streets. There have been some with incredible airbrushed art, I remember a blue '64 Impala that was amazing, though "R" rated..

No. They're strange looking. And I don't get it. But they don't top the list.

The dumbest things I have ever seen are Civil War battle reenactments.

Not a huge fan of them, but they are okay. Not all of them dance, and hop around, such as the Sleds.

If someone takes a vehicle and molds it into what they want that vehicle to be and does it to high standards they have my respect and admiration. It doesn't matter if it's a low rider, donk, street rod, street machine, rat rod or a restored to factory specs muscle car. Some I like, some I don't but that's kind of the whole point. Hell, even the guy who buys a car and does nothing to it but keep it looking and running like new for 20 plus years is a brother of mine. Fads come and go but, even that proves there are hobbyist out there trying to create the next niche which is a good thing.

To answer your question, IMHO, they are pretty dumb-looking. And pricey, too.

Lots of repairs from pothole damage.

Yes, but let the kids (young and old) have their fun.
I have horses. They survive off my bank account. At the moment we live in different states. That might be the dumbest thing...
