I Saw This Truck Today and Took a Pic

I actually saw two really nice trucks today one was a black one and this purple one. I don't really care for the stance and wheels, but it was still an awesome looking truck. Really a bright purple, I'd drive it. LOL

Nice looking truck, except those ugly, oversized wheels need to go.

I have no problem with the color or wheel choice, I do however object the the height of it, lower it and it would looks worlds better.

Re: I Saw This Truck Today and Took a Pic

JUDGING BY THE PIC LOL......there is also a crown vic parked near it too so im assuming this is in the ghetto and the paint shop is really a chop shop!!!! the rims size needs to be a little smaller. If i was gonna have 24s on my truck then they would atleast look nice! Ghetto as hell

Re: I Saw This Truck Today and Took a Pic

Actually the paint in person looks darn good, and that Crown Vic is a Sheriff's car. This is on historic Route 66 going through Tulsa. Just thought I'd clear that up. I posted it because it really is a beautiful truck, and if the owner likes those wheels, it's his truck.

Exactly, each person has their own style.

Just for giggles, do you know how much he was asking?

Unique color. Knock the wheel size down to about 20" and lower it, and it wouldn't be half bad.

Re: I Saw This Truck Today and Took a Pic

I dont know about nice...the wheels too I could care less for. Pretty sure underneath the hood its dark and gloomy. Smoking leaking etc... 1000 dollar craigslist wheels and a 1000 dollar one day paint and body paint job dont make a truck bada**.

My opinion, that is one ugly POS!

I live on the Tulsa/Rogers county line towards Catoosa. I used to dragrace quite a bit, but haven't been out there for a couple of years. I can hear them from my house though.

I don't know what they were asking I just pulled up and looked at it.

Those that choose to ignore my warning should consider themselves fortunate that I just going lock the thread rather than issuing infraction points.
