Boomers and Karens on the Florence FB page complain about the squatted trucks. Pretty sure the kids go to extremes like this just to rile up the complainers more.

No "Lit in Lifted" stickers yet?

I guess that's on the next paycheck.

Believe it or not, that's a real thing...
I've seen some where the driver can't see the car in front of them.

This stupid adaptation is called a "Carolina Squat".

That's the latest rage, right now. You should just hear him as he leaves the red light, and at the midnight drags. The weirdest thing is that it is apparently legal.

Party in the front, business in the back.

seems like the oil would run out of the motor

The ultimate in impractical. Can't see out front and the tail drags if carrying anything. Also, makes it easier for someone to steal your catalytic converter.

Carolina Squatted, Carolina Sh*tted, who can tell the difference?

It is called the South Carolina Squat, and ironically enough, it is now illegal in South Carolina.

Full size SUV at Colony Crossing gas station easily this jacked or higher.

Carolina Squat.
Was just outlawed in SC.

Yes, this trend is pure hell on the drive line of the vehicle

I have a friend who runs a used car lot. He finances most of the cars he sell himself and is not all that concerned with credit ratings, because he keeps a set of keys for everything he sells and a GPS tracker hidden on the car. Miss a payment? Batter get by the lot and pay it. After a week or so, he checks the GPS and repossesses the car that night. He takes i to the lot and blocks it in with other cars so you can't get it off the lot until you get current and pay a small penalty.

One time, he had a mother call and beg him to let her son have his car back, even though he didn't have the money to get current on his loan. My friend said, "No way." and the mother said, "Can he at least come down and get his rims?" He had gone to the rim store and spent a small fortune on rims for his ride with little concern for making the car payments. I think the rims were worth more than the car.

My friend said, "Nope. When he gets the money to get current on his loan, he can have the car and rime back. Until then it belongs to me, until I sell it after three months."

The kid came down the next day and got current.

I see them often in Rankin.

Seems dumb to add another layer of difficulty to a giant trunk that most of the high school twerps cannot even park, but sure.
Now they cannot see over the hood.

As long as they promise to only kill themselves when they wreck, I don't care how stupid and unsafe it looks.

12:43 You really don’t have to be a boomer or a Karen to instantly realize how dumb this idea is. Rational people simply do not spend money to intentionally depreciate the value of an automobile. This just looks dumb as hell. But, other people do.

Be curious not judgmental. You’re better than this.

lol

2:54 - don't be judgmental you say? It's that kind of thinking that has gotten this country in the screwed up mess that it is in today. No one wants to point a finger and say "that is wrong". No one wants to point a finger and say "that is the reason there is so much crime in Jackson". No one wants to point a finger and say "shame on you".

Just curious, not judging what's stupid:


Carolina squat is about as useful as buying your pants 12 inches too big in the waist then wearing them around your knees without a belt because that's how it is when the man gives you your clothes and no belt to prevent inmate suicides and garrote killings.

Your squatted truck kinda somewhat looks like it's loaded with chit and working hard, except with them stupid rimz and 30 profile tires it couldn't haul anything but stupid if it wanted to. Plus no tailgate!

Thank you for proving my point.
Sincerely,

Vehicles are not engineered for this. He will many costly repairs to his drivetrain!

Wait until you see some of the SUVs like that. The firswt one I saw I thought they had rammed a car and the hood was messed up.

Stupid is as stupid does

Folks used to act right so maybe we need to stop shaming Karen and start thanking her.

More Karens, More bullies, less Bullsh*t like this.

Lots of Brandon high school boys have that. Looks stupid.

Let one get behind you at night.

Makes it kind of hard to steer, doesn't it?

Last time I checked it was not legal in MS.

@4:40
The biggest problem with Karen’s is their poor choice of timing.
Don’t go full Karen in line at the fast food restaurant.
Don’t mistreat and berate low-wage service workers
Don’t be a racist.
Try to at least be eloquent.

@1243
We complain because of the blinding headlights caused by squatting the rear end, not because of its looks

I complain not only about the squatter's headlights aimed up but because any bozo driving one of these ass draggin trucks can't see what he's fixin to run over before he gets there!

When their stupid modifications can kill me on the roads then my understanding ends!

If your point was that some other dumbass is gonna Carolina Squat his truck because most people think it looks dumb, point well taken. That’s their fault and it still looks dumb. You’re welcome son.

Every few years a new trend comes out and the old people complain. Though I don’t care for it’s what the kiddies like. I used to get harassed by all the LE from the tri-county area for my car in the 90’s because I looked like a dope boy, now cops come up to me and talk to me about my car while making fun of the squat trucks and the attempted take over idiot crowd.

The only thing more unstable than the truck is the owner.

If they’re really doing this to rile up the boomers and Karen’s, fine by me. Either way, it makes it easy to spot and avoid the individual.

I’m a boomer and and it doesn’t make me angry. I just laugh at how stupid they look and how difficult it is for them to drive properly.

There is a 99.9% chance that the redacted license tag’s first letter is an “R.”

I think it looks stupid, but I did stupid stuff to cars when I was a kid too.

The worst realization for me - most of these are HS kids, meaning that some parent is funding this stupidity, to great expense. Parents who won't tell their kids NO is an issue.
