What's the worst you have ever seen?
Hey folks, I got the idea for this topic last night on the way home.
I saw an early 80 model chevy pickup with a chrome tube grill from some other truck mounted overtop of the chevy grill. The tubes didn't cover but about 1/3 of the oe grill. I couldn't help but wonder if he really thought it looked snazzy.
It made me think about all the rediculious mods some people do to their vehicles, so I thought I'd post it and ask for your input. Tell us about some of the crazy stuff you see up and down the highways and we will all have a few laughs.
I know this topic is not F150 related but this forum is the only one I read.

Those useless low rider trucks. I've also seen a pickup jacked up so high that it could see over the top of an 18- Wheeler. I looked like it would fall over any second. I've also seen those ugly escalade trucks jacked up extremely high.

I have seen some pretty funny stuff being in Texas, but one that comes to mind is an F-350 that cruises around in Cedar Park, that probably has like a 4ft lift on it with I am sure the largest legal tires he could find, it is so high up that the dude's dog looks up from time to time,when not in fetal position from out of the bed and tries to flag people down to get his *** out of that death trap!!! I see things like this all of the time, so I now bring my digital camera in the truck at all times. Here is an example of its handiness:
I swear, there must be some sort of Tejano radio contest that is constantly going on around Austin because most of these guys have at least 4 Tejano radio stickers on their cars at any given time. This just happened to be the best one that I saw.

The dumbest thing I see is a 80s caprice around here on 26"s. It looks like a 4x4.

Yeah, you know what, I was thinking, and here in Austin, for the last probably 10-15 years, there has been a Delorean that pimps around on 44"s. I have seen it all over the place. I even saw it at an auction a few times. It's kind of an Austin tradition! I did a search and I think this is the one. I just wouldn't be able to believe that more than one person had this idea:

There's guy around here with a Ford Model T. He's got a home air conditioner hanging out of the rear side window and Coleman gasoline generator on a platform welded to the rear bumper.
I've only seen it 2-3 times and I didn't have my camera with me, but it's a sight to behold...
You gotta see it to believe it..

A couple of weeks ago I saw a late '80's or early '90's Mustang [blasphemy!] that had side exit exhausts (coming through the lower side skirts) that pointed four or five feet straight up in the air like a semi truck's stacks. There was other silly crap in it like some furry leopard-skinned dash cover, requisite chain-link license plate frame, tacky wire rims with wheels sticking out past the fender lips (oh and they were thin white walls). Last thing I noticed before the temporary blindness set in was the paint job was white with pink accents.
I hurled.

Just stopped by the local Line-x shop yesterday afternoon to see about having my bed sprayed and he had just done the bed, tailgate, and rail tops of an '05 white GMC SCREW in "BRIGHT PINK"......even made him want to vomit!
