meh, anything but stock. I like 'em lifted, lowered, bagged. My mini's have always been bagged and most have been boddied. I have a full size daily thats mostly stock, but has a decent set of wheels, some sounds and some power mods. The wifes suburban even has a lil modification she doesn't know about. (added a chip when I did an "oil change". I also had to "fix" an exhaust leak with a new flowmaster...only one in stock that would fit???) I used to have a 84 scottsdale on 44's and 12" of lift. so yeah, anything but stock

It would almost be easier just to list things I don't like since I have varying tastes.

Clean and subtle is a big plus. Not a fan of large wheels (never used anything larger than 16s and those were stock). Less chrome the better typically unless it's a classic 50's car. Real paint jobs, not flat black or other trendy garbage paints that cheapen a look.. Low suspension, I'm talking can't take speed bumps without worrying your going to high side low. I don't like doored trucks (they are ALWAYS crunched up and look like shit). A complimentary interior. Speed is nice, only if you can put it to the wheels AND take corners at speed. Motor swaps that don't include a bowtie motor. Small details 90% of people would never notice. I'm also a sucker for period pieces (early style minis, 60's customs, 70's lowriders, etc). And I love cars you don't see often, or ones you see done one style all the time in one fashion, done in a completely different style.

Never wanted one enough to have one but I've always liked the idea of flat out tuning things over with no worries.

My style........ ANY type of vehicle "tastefully" modified.

Hmmm Interesting question. Phatkix came pretty close but I suspect his version of "tastefully" might be different than mine. For me - stock is boring. Hot rod shows with a bunch of fully restored "stock" rides pretty much puts me to sleep. Show me some creativity and my interest picks back up. Not saying I only like lowriders but there can be a LOT of creativity on some of the better rides.

Another favorite of mine was an early 70's Nova with a fully shaved brite red body and a stock hood. Under that hood was a twin turbo small block with lots of polished parts. Interior looked like something Ryan would get a little wood over - all polished and formed aluminum

Have seen some pretty nice sport compacts that i like, but unfortunately for that seen I have seen WAY to may with a fart can, wheels and little else.

Minitrucks seem to offer a lot of what I like - lot of exterior mods, wild suspension work, and in some cases, killer interiors. And every once in a while a really sweet motor to push it over the top

in a mini i could go both ways..lowered or skyhigh..if its bagged its got to be bodyed but not to the door, shaved a few parts and super clean but plan in the paint nothing flashy maybe a two tone, some big oh rims and a motor to turn them rims but dont have to big.. in a 4x4 i like the prerunner look or the baha look but it has to really be a 4x4 ,wide tires wide fender flares, roof rack,snorkel, biger bumpers and long travel, with full on rock cage exoskeleton

im all over this, i like differnet types not picky at all. from slammed mini trucks to a riced out honda to a soccer mom mini van back to the rat rods. each type has their own style. you dont want a honda sounded like a 1932 rat rod or the other way around. and dont want 30 inch rims sitting on a 1932 rat rod when they go on a box chevy. i guess it's just me for not being picky on a set type. one thing is if you are going to do it, do it right. enjoy what you do and keep it that way. we are all differnet and not the same and different styles are going to a truck. like i have posted on this web site before i want to lower my truck by replacing the leaf spring brackets into the bed, 50s to 60s style there for the people who didnt know. it makes it ride low to the ground without dealing with lowering blocks! and plus dont cost nothing out of pocket, cheap fix.

My style is with the original paint lowered not to low nice set of. Rims that fit between the wheel wells,a rollpan and all the unessary stuff under hood removed ad a nice carb remove the crappy vacuum hoses, air box add a Chrome filter cover and then ur set oh yeah add a nice stereos, no big sound system kinda like my Toyota
