Parked right outside the window of my office right now is a blue GMC, similar to the one pictured in your avatar. It is a nice truck, looks cool as-is.
Yet my personal preference for a project vehicle, or even my daily driver is something lowered and sporty looking. I think I prefer a lowered look as it reminds me of stock cars, pro mod cars and racing cars in general. And as far as expense goes, I have never spent nor will I ever spend thousands of dollars to drop a vehicle.
AND I have always kept any of my lowered vehicles functional.
My lowered trucks have all maintained their useability, whether is be carrying my motorcycle or helping someone move. My lowered cars have never been bagged nor have their tires ever rubbed anything anywhere.
I think that many of the slammed trucks you see are simply people trying to scrape the ground simply for the sake of saying they can do it, or the need to be creative in a gravity favoring sort of way as opposed to the sky-high lifted sort of way.
I have respect for all tastes and preferences. We all have different likes and dislikes and GOD FORBID we all like the exact same thing, or this would be one boring interest. Know what I mean?
In the spirit of Santa Claus, I say MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL and to all a good year of truck building, driving and playing in 2005!
