Your ride in the eyes of society

I said:" First of all, it's a minitruck, not a lowrider, second of all, I drive a small truck to make up for my enormous dick, it's called reverse compensation."

Look on her b/f's face was priceless.

One time this homeless guy called it a lowrider, i corrected him, and he said, "well it ain't no high-rider now is it?" I had nothing to say back.

We get the occasional "do you know what color your skin is?" here in our town. But people are ignorant, what can you do? That comment you made to the guys girl made me laugh very very loud. Thats a GREAT comeback

How many more of these posts do we need? You have to know what you're getting into when your building a truck or any vehicle that's heavily modified. Its the same thing with tattoos or piercings, colored hair, etc. You're going to get a lot of attention, regardless of if you want it or not. Some of it will be negative and some of it will be positive. You can take it all with a grain of salt or you can come on here and whine about it which seems to be the popular alternative. Sounds like we're evolving into the days of the "sensitive" truckers because I don't remember all these posts years ago when I first joined this site.

I LIVE IN HICKTOWN SOUTH GEORGIA AND THERE ARE MINIS AND ALOT OF CLASSICS; AND AN ASSLOAD OF RICE ROCKETS WITH FART-CANS. OLD PEOPLE STARE AT ME AND HAVE CALLED THE LAW FOR ME DUMPING MY TRUCK AT REDLIGHTS BUT I COULD GIVE A RATS-ASS.I DO GET HATED ON BUT ON THE OTHER HAND LOTS OF PEOPLE KNOW ME AND LOOK OUT FOR ME.THE GOOD COMES WITH THE BAD SO SCREW EVERYBODY.I'M THE SAME AS THE OLD GUY WITH THE 57 OR THE GUY WITH THE JACKED UP AND FULL CUSTOM 4X4.LET THEM MAKE THERE SMARTASS COMMENTS; JUST WAVE WHEN YOUR DRIVING BY THERE BROKE DOWN PEICE OF SHIT KIA OR HYUNDAI AS THERE STANDING THERE, AND GO ABOUT YOUR DAY.

Let me ask you mini truckers a quick question. Is your ride accepted in your city? What i mean by that is do you live in a town that minis are looked down upon? Do you work at a place where your car is the only custom one there? I live in nashville and it seems like i got sooooo much more love for my mini when i lived in W Des Moines IA. I work at a place that my truck is the only one of its kind and i cant walk into my office on any given day with out hearing someone say "hey did a 2 yr old mount your license plate, its all crooked or do your knuckles drag on the ground when you drive that thing?" If you work in this kind of enviorment how do your react or responed? I mean its brutal dealing with the same shit everyday. But ill never give up my mini.

I think that your worried about the wrong shit!! Who fuckin cares what people at your WORK think about your ride! I dont know about you, but i come to work to get payed, not make friends!

First your girl not liking your ride and now the people at your work?!?!

Not to be harsh but it sounds like you need to grow a pair and tell them WTF is up!

I am fine with people not likeing my ride. I dont really care. The people here at my office know whats up. I was asking this question because i have talked to people who say minis are the big thing around there town. That is was the norm is. In my area 4wd trucks are the big thing. I was just wondering if you catch flack from a ton of people because your truck is not the norm or if you live in a place where minis are envyed and everyone wants one. I was also trying to address the fact that when i lived in IA everyone was about minis and custom cars. Here not so much. I guess because there are more red necks. Like i said i dont give two shits what people think i drive my truck EVERYDAY. However in my area the only holiday for a mini is Slammin and Jammin.

I love my truck. and i rarely run into someone who has anything bad to say about it. Anyone who knows anything about custom always stands back with a look of amazment on their face when looking at my doored toy.
Ill always ride low with my middle finger high to anyone who wants to hate!!!

I look at it like this...it takes balls to be
different or one of a kind. What your going through is the same that alot of us older guys had to deal with when we first started out. I can still remember some of the stupid
comments/questions from people like, how do you drive that or why did you lower it?? Your going to find stupid people everywhere &
all of them love to put down something cause their lives in my opinion just suck!! When people give you shit...give it back & to be honest, who gives a damn about what others think. Their are people like you all over the world & they support what your doing & thats what matters.

See everyone calls my mini the "mexican ride" I work in a building full of medical offices expect for mine which is a mortgage office. My parking lot is full of MB and BMWs so you can imagine what kind of pricks i work with.

That's a stereotype if I ever heard one!

They called your custom truck a "mexican ride" and you call them a prick for having a luxury vehicle. Aren't you doing the exact same thing that they are doing to you?

my old apt kicked me out bc when i came home late at night my truck would make loud noise from the air set up... and they also said my small skinny little cat was too loud lol

I got that once. But then I told him "Do you see a body kit, chrome trim around every opening possible, euro tail lights, 4 exhaust tips on a 4 banger, lights and reflectors on every surface, ugly 24" wheels on a 4WD truck, or the entire JC Whitney catologue attached to my truck? No." And he shut up.

As far as work, I'm my own boss. But I drive my truck to school every day. Generally get a lot of odd looks, but most people like it. Get the usual questions, how do you drive it, what is it, how do you fit in it, etc..
