Ridiculous Vehicles

You know the ones. When you see them you think "Oh good lord."
Post the pictures here! We love to see them and laugh

I'll start off with two trucks I saw today that need to swap tires with each other.

My favorite (triggered by seeing one on my commute this morning) are guys with 5"+ lifts that that necessitate 5"+ drop hitches that they run ALL THE TIME. I like lifted trucks as much as the next guy, but I just think it looks dumb to drive around with a giant tail hanging off your damn bumper waiting to get clipped off.

Just toss it under the backseat unless you're towing! Easy!

Random google photo to make the point:

I hate trucks like that for a different reason. Its not practical.

How often do you think it goes off road? Not often..
How often do you think it tows? Not often.

It just doesnt make sense.. Almost always, when a truck is that "prettied up" it is a pavement pounder for the rest of its life.

And to make matters worse, it looks like its a 1 7/8" ball..

Yeah, that one's a little ridiculous anyway, but the point stands for the more "tasteful" lifts as well. You're just asking to carve up someone's bumper when trying to maneuver around - It takes all of 2 seconds to pull the pin and toss the hitch in the back. Just do it!
