The automotive equivalent of big-ass jeans

Here is what I don't get... These guys take these giant old cars, big hunks of Detroit iron like a 1978 two-door Ford, and they paint them a hideous color like lime green or (worse) University of Tennessee orange, and then they put these gigantic wheels on them, like SUV wheels, and drive around. Why? I mean, is there a point?

Yes, I am old.

I don't get the cars that are "branded" in some way, usually after a candy like Skittles or M&M's. Why turn your car into a rolling advertisement?

Hck, if that's the case, then sign me up! I'll gladly trade a little dignity for some compensation!

Am I the only one who can remember The Greateful Dead's Candyman or the old blues song about a candyman?

Those cars represent a lot of work and money.

Sorry Walt, I never could get into the Grateful Dead and they were just a little bit before my time anway.

But you're right, tricking out your car is no small task. I do the same thing on a smaller scale with my computer. It has a clear side panel and LED lights on the fans and stuff like that. It's a toy, what can I say?
