Today, I was scanning Facebook. I was looking down my home feed and I see a profile picture, not of the person, but of their truck. First of all, I'll go with a bold statement and say that if you have a picture of yourself without a shirt or a picture of your customized car/truck on your Facebook profile picture, you're a douche...
Anyway, I see this picture and it's not an average truck. It has these rims and it's lowered with a custom paint job. I don't understand this. Well, I can understand customizing a car with all these... "trinkets." However, I can not understand the need to do this to a truck. This takes away the very idea and durability of a truck. The purpose of a truck is to haul and do heavy duty things like work on a farm. Not to be a "redneck gangsta." People from my hometown are the worst. They think they're from A-town or H-town or L.A. and they're "gangster." Message to those: You are not. Get it through you're head. You were raised in suburbia.
Basically, my theory is that they're trying to socially connect to a culture they admire by customizing the "admirable" culture and making it their own. Similarly, the religion of Islam forming to the culture it inhabits. Anyway, I'm done ranting for now. Goodbye.
