North Carolina outlawing gassers?!

[Dwain G.]

That squatty style came and went here. Mostly appeared on Toyota pickups. I think they were suppose to look like Baja 100 trucks.
Now if they could just outlaw the coal rollers

Funny: Under the heading of modifications many of us don't understand:

We've all seen the goofy cars and a few trucks with enormous 22" and larger wheels on which incredibly super-skinny tires are mounted.

Several years ago, I was buying new tires for a used car from a shop I know and asked the salesman, "How long do those skinny tires last, anyway? It doesn't seem like they'd last very long."

His answer: "Nobody knows; they get stolen before they wear out!"

For the 1960 model year, Volkswagen was forced to raise the headlamps on their Karmann-Ghia, roughly 1.75” from the 1959 centerlines.

WOW, I never noticed why some K-Gs looked better, but comparing profiles of the two K-Gs reveals a big difference from a small change (for the worse). Thanks for that note.

My neighbor to the west Paul is correct in post #2. It’s called the Carolina Squat or Slouch and that’s exactly what the newspaper article said here a couple weeks ago. It has nothing to do with any “style” in particular but goes after braking orientation, steering, headlight alignment and driver’s line of sight (according to my friend at a local inspection station, Allen’s Citgo).

Why people do this to any truck let alone new trucks is beyond me. What a stupid trend this is becoming here.

It’s all over Florida too. I don’t care what anyone does with their vehicle, but it seems that every one of these idiots fail to re-aim their headlights.
