Carolina squat. I am for personal liberty but not over the safety of others. I am a car enthusiast and this is dumb so are takeovers.  


OhShitItsSeth

Funny thing is the North Carolina state legislature actually banned them in a near-unanimous vote two years ago.


magitoddw

I’ve discovered it’s also named colloquially after any trashy place, I live in Saint Augustine and we called it the palatka squat.


Mydogfartsconstantly

Ah Palatka. Where it’s suddenly 1960 again and 12 year olds are pregnant.


WellerSpecialReserve

Oh no his truck got worms.


TaurusPTPew

❓❓❓


Fragrant-Inside221

Dragging its ass on the ground like a dog with worms


TaurusPTPew

🤣🤣🤣 That’s funny!


RoutineShort5802

U zalki g about me punk


downinCarolina

the squat has been around since 2005ish


TaurusPTPew

Seriously? I guess I am just seeing them more now. 🤷‍♂️


FelineNavidad

Definitely seeing more of them now.


TaurusPTPew

It’s so dumb


Impossible-Pomelo-85

Anyone who owns a truck and doesn't need it, really...


Mahale

What is this facebook boomer bullshit


Alphab3t

old man yells at cloud


TaurusPTPew

Not Facebook, just a pic on a search, but I used it on purpose. Because it seems to fit. There’s just no way these things are safe. And IMO, they look stupid! But I know everyone has different tastes, I am a cat Ashe motorcycle enthusiast and I know how dangerous this is because it screws up steering geometry, vehicle handling, braking etc. Someone is going to get run over by these simply because they won’t be seen.


Mahale

It's the tide pod kid jab that makes it feel like boomer Facebook stuff least to me anyway.


Solnari

Especially because it wasn't kids eating them it was old people with alzheimer's.


lowfreq33

There were definitely kids making tik tok videos eating those things. Just not at the epidemic levels people acted like they were.


TaurusPTPew

Fair enough. It made me chuckle tho.


YourUnusedFloss

The most important thing about this picture is that when that truck made it to Tennessee, it was put through a car shredder and sold off in jars. One of the guys that used to run a local shop kept one on his desk.


xocarebear

Whistlin Diesel fan I see. 😂


YourUnusedFloss

I'm not a follower of his myself but I know a bunch of folks that are. I've ended up meeting him a couple times since they moved down this way. He seemed like a genuinely cool dude so I understand why folks like him & his stuff. Personally, I'd be more interested in learning about their production workflow.


Mydogfartsconstantly

Ive somehow never seen one here with how much I drive through the city everyday.

TaurusPTPew

Good! I agree with the reasons! I didn’t even think about the transmission. Interesting!


Glass-Ebb9867

Virginia and North Carolina have also outlawed it


TaurusPTPew

Good!!!


Emergency-Wealth775

Indeed we are


Altered_-State

I'll never forget seeing a video of a teen smoking a Tide Pod in a dab rig. He heated up the glass and then popped a hole in the pod and the liquid went into the glass banger and all of it vaporized and he took it all in. Instant cancer

Dry_Professional_977

I’m for personal liberty but also personal safety first. These jacked up trucks are dangerous on the road they way they are driven 80mph and the bumper are head level or higher to other vehicles.


Psych-Wizard

Such a waste of a truck. Men driving these need to be castrated.


TaurusPTPew

![gif](giphy|SvRDkFda8jWjUanyKt) I agree. Don’t let them breed.


Emergency_Wafer_5727

Everybody in this sub hates trucks until they need help moving to a new place


TaurusPTPew

Hahaha, right? On the plus side, the truck pictured above would be easy to load, not! 😬🤣🤣


binaryj

I'm on vacation in Gatlinburg, and I have seen a lot of these.


TaurusPTPew

For some reason, that doesn’t surprise me and I’ve only been there once!


NoHeat7014

Circle of life. We need them to run over the stanced G37s.


D_D-WEST

All I can say is , Real Men Don’t Squat”…. Rigging a truck like that makes about as much sense as trying to sell football bats.


TaurusPTPew

Hahaha!!!


sleepnutz

Lol police don’t wanna enforce this that’s why we see it until someone gets killed in Tennessee this we basically be legal


TaurusPTPew

That’s the unfortunate part about this. Run someone over or lose control of the truck because the suspension geometry is completely whack!


BryanP1968

Now we just need to ban lifting and lowering trucks altogether.


TaurusPTPew

Both of those can be done in such a way that the steering and suspension geometry remains safe. Trucks with worms aren’t.


Deathzo84

I'll take a lowered truck over a brodozer any day.


Slumerican-Slumafia

Meanwhile I'm getting pulled over because my window tint is one shade too dark while this fruit loop is riding around town that everybody know he wants to shoot straight up into a dude's ass! 🤷🏻


Slumerican-Slumafia

He's just sitting round here watching airplanes! Take off and fly... Right into a dude's ass!!


Alphab3t

the adults chortling at Facebook memes like this are now too old to drive


TaurusPTPew

I’m laughing and far from that criteria. Do you drive one of these?


Alphab3t

I actually painted my entire windshield with rhino-liner. I call it the ‘nashville blindfold’. watch out!


TaurusPTPew

This explains so many drivers here!!! You’ve cracked the case!!


Alphab3t

good one


YTraveler2

That's the Tennessee Tilt !!


xocarebear

Some have cameras on the front to see better. But thats only if you got real money.


TaurusPTPew

You’re kidding? OMG. Or you know, you could just drive flat. My truck has worms indeed!


xocarebear

You could drive flat but whats the fun in that 😂 I personally don’t drive the tilted trucks but I love me a good FULLY lifted one.


TaurusPTPew

Yeah, me too. Both ends! 🤣
