Arrow worst use of a truck?

ok a buddys dad went out and bought a new F-350 powerstroke crew cab 4x4 loaded 40k+. I asked him what he was going to do with all that truck(He does not go offroad, pull anything) he said its what the family will go on trips with or to the movies etc.....WHAT then I sarcasticly(sp) told him you should have got a mini van. he did not laugh.

Ok so the question is what is the worst use of a truck/car or the worst mod youve ever seen?

saw it couple days ago

Saw some schmoe using a 2000 Harley Davidson F-150 as a work truck (muddy interior, scratched to hell, and paint splattered throughout.) But hey, to each his/her own.

In my opinion the worst use of a truck is buying one and then modifying it to where it no longer serves the purpose for which it was designed. I own a carwash in Texas and I see all kinds. Brand new trucks with 20 inch gold wire spokes or lowered to where they scrape the nose coming into the parking lot.
There's a guy that details repo'd vehicles for a local credit union and he comes in the other day in a relatively new Chevy truck. It's sitting at least 20 inches off the ground with huge Mickey Thompson off road tires, **** Cepek custom wheels, roll bar with lights, huge grill guard, etc. The problem is, it's still got the stock V6 and auto tranny it came with. I just don't get it.

...watching a fellow classmate getting pulled from shredded F-150 by rescue workers.

Don't drink and drive.

Worst Use???

Taking a perfectly good truck... flawless, actually, and having it creamed by someone who doesn't know how to drive in the rain.

Worst use.....it was said earlier, someone buying a 250 or 350 diesel, loaded, etc, and using it as a soccer mom van or something. Sad.

ouch that sucks i hope you were not in it. what about trucks that have larger rear tires(twice as much as the front) and its not for performance. if anyone lives in Austin Tx you will also see alot of last names on the rear of windows.

I dunno. I have a hard time faulting anybody for buying a truck and using it like a car or family wagon when I use mine like a car at least 90% of the time.

Cool

HOSRACN: Just ask them if they have the 1 ton springs in the back to hold that wing up !!! LOL !!!!

There is a couple of White Lightning's here in Windsor that are used as bill boards. One has a cap on it with the bar's name on both sides and the other one is a small constuction company or a handy man's truck. He has a cap on it too !!

Personally, I own the below truck. I love my truck and I use it as a daily driver. I have had three loads of wood in it, from front to back, side to side stacked and up just past the top of the box. I had about a 1/2" till the rubber stops hit the axle. It has moved three different friends and has move a large amount of wood for various projects in the last two and a half years. It even had 200 bricks on it for a interlocking brick patio. I am also friends with Neal "The HP Freak", so I take her to the dragstrip every so often. My next truck will probably by a F-250 Superduty, Supercab, Long Box, automatic with the powerstroke in it. I don't like any cars because of the room in most of them, my family will probably end up owning larger vehicle just for the extra room.

Have Fun & Keep on Truckin'
Dean

Hey BeastRider,

Isn't that picture the same guy that lost his bike trailer and his Valkyrie? I remember seeing it posted on VRCC. I have the same setup, a 01 SuperCab Lariat and a 00 Valk Tourer. To lose the both in the same accident would be devastating.

How's your bike doin?

HYDRAULIC COMPETITIONS!!!!!

How dumb are these?

Take any vehicle, remove engine and suspension, then add hydraulics where the springs & shocks were.

Now, let's see how high...oops, I mean, how fast I can bend my frame.
