I'm obviously out of the loop on things...

I couldn’t see out of the front window!

I enjoyed the low C10 as much as my k5, but the adults would call us stupid just like I do when I see a Carolina squatter

I still would. I never figured out the point in lowering a vehicle.

There wasn’t much point to anything I did back then. I am planning on doing more stupid stuff when I retire.

It's for really short people who can't get into a truck unless it's lower.

Like Messicans?

I remember when lowering the rear end of a car was popular in 1960's. Knew a guy (a Bily) with a "57 Ford he had big rock in the truck.

They got it from the suburban black kids.

It’s all white kids in the squatters here. The blacks all have Dodges. Orange Crush is the Ghetto spectacle down here.
I can’t even imagine living in PCB in the late 80’s. We were some rotten punks.

I remember some gassers were squatted but it had a purpose.

Related to doing things to a truck that serves no purpose, who remembers blue dot tail light lens?

 

[earlthegoat2]

I saw one today. It seems it's always a GM or Chivvy.

Not all Chebbies. Even the golden child Tacomas aren’t safe.

Here’s one from the #sinclair1 hood.

Spotted on 17 by the….well just look at the picture.

I see a good bit around here. Lots of Daddy’s money. This morning one guy has so many lights in the wheel well and under the truck you couldn’t see his taillights.
Looked about like this.

 

[BanditOne]

Is that what they refer to as junk in the trunk

 

[bullgator]

It seems like it was a thang a few decades ago that has come back around with a vengeance.

Folks with more money (or credit maybe) than sense……….

 

[hawkeye123]

Some of those kids in squatting trucks got at least 10K-15K in rims and tires + lift & lowering kits + those LED lights on 65K+ trucks- a lot of Daddy's $ some slinging dope I guess and some already in huge debt living rent free at home, our early & mid 20's boys hate em thank God!

Sad thing is Police will see it and do nothing.

The ironic thing is that's called a "Carolina Squat." And it's now illegal in both NC and SC.

I kinda like the cops not doing much. We have 8 year olds on golf carts out on the main road. I have to remind myself We don’t live in the metro anymore.
I unloaded some rounds here at the house and no cops were called. Takes a while to get used to but it was like that in Hancock as well.

We have a squatter up the street and the kid is polite and sharp as a tack.
