When you see how ridiculous some of these trucks look,i would bet the guys with the rainbow flags even have better taste in vehicle style! A very popular car in San Fran. for the rainbow crowd is the Mazda Miata, which fits a big city better than the mall-crawler rig.

I hardly ever see the Yaris! around here the Prius is the big thing,its usually driven by some snooty tree-hugger,they like to shake there finger at you as you pass them in your full-sized pickup or SUV,as if they are better than the rest of us! When they give me that dirty look,i enjoy stomping on the throttle of my Dodge,its an early 07 5.9 so it doesnt have all the emissions crap that the 6.7's have,so for a second or 2 they get a really pretty shot of black smoke!

man I have been missing out on this thread...pretty funny stuff

Also I saw a pretty fail-tastic mall-crawler today while driving through campus....
05? 04? Ford F150 SuperCrew short bed, w/the floorboards sitting around my chest area...so a few feet of lift (I am 6ft 4in tall) w/a stainless rollbar in the back, 4 KC hilites on the bar. Its a 4x4 but the front driveshaft had to be taken out LMAO!!!!
And to top it all off....on the rear window there was a frat sticker... so you know its owned by some trust-fund, polo-**** collar poping, binge drinking, dousch-bag (not really sure how to spell dousch)

I looked like it had been forged from molten FAIL

So,Maverick,if you hit the lottery,you gonna pimp your ride out? Maybe a set of 40" some inch tires on 20" or so Mega -bling rims,a nice triple tube roll bar in the bed with about a dozen big lights on it,another $15,000 worth of all show/no go parts,topped off with about $5,000 worth of mega-watt sound system so you can crank hip-hop loud enough to shake all the buildings in a one mile radius...........After visualizing that,id not sure i wouldnt rather hang out with the guy flying the rainbow flag on his Miata.......Its spelled Douche,BTW

I just thought of other mall crawlers from the past. All of the old monster trucks before they got all fancy and fast used to have a ton of lights and chrome on em when they used the real steel truck bodies. Besides Bigfoot of course.

LMAO LMAO LMAO to really be a mall-crawler I would need a sound system that costs more than what I paid for the truck...also you cant forget the extraneous amounts of shocks...MORE because...MORE!

PS thanks for the spelling correction...now I know!!!!, and that is 1/2 the battle

He forgot to put the tail gate on, so all the shiny goodies fell out on the way home from the mall.

But he did go back and got a set of chrome stacks, which are now installed.
I better take a new picture or two.
