1930fordpickup Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I think the green car has a photo shopped plate. the Summit county lettering is not straight . If this has been changed, it is not legal to mess with a plate. But it is from Ohio so it might bee crooked right from the State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) @Skydime, a usually pretty smart guy, but who seems to have missed the point entirely this time: The ORIGINAL post was about COCKEYED TAG RECESSES, NOT BASHING LITTLE TRUCKS OR LOWRIDERS. I LIKE LITTLE TRUCKS, and I LIKE LOWRIDERS. I ALSO happen to THINK THIS TAG TREATMENT LOOKS STUPID. That's what the post is about. It's OK to say you think something looks stupid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EDIT: I just read through the thread again. NO ONE BASHED MINI-TRUCKS OR LOWRIDERS IN GENERAL. NOT ONCE. And, the PERSONAL RIDICULE was directed AT GREG, not done BY Greg. The pathetic mob mentality piled on with making reference to old-age, AARP, fiber in diets, etc. What's up with that? You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Grow up, chimps. If you're gonna be throwing ###### around the cage, I'm going to call it like I see it. Edited March 2, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 The tags have been done like this since the 80's. Some motorcycles have tags mounted sideways also. I don't see anything wrong with it.... The sideways mounted plate will get your bike towed in Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill, I am going to have to agree to disagree on this one and hope that we remain on good terms. My rant last night was pretty fuelled with emotion. And I offer the following story to explain why: Greg's posts remind me of a guy I once met at a car show. A boy in our club had cut the air line to one of his front airbags and needed to get it swapped to a spare to make it home from the show we were attending. He had lost one of his wrenches necessary to pull the front end loose and access the airbag. Well, being the kind of guy that thinks car guys are car guys no matter what, I suggested that he go talk to the person in the blue Chevelle sitting across the field. I had seen him with a pack of wrenches rolled out, working under the hood, and figured he would be nice enough to help. The kid was a little shy, one of the reasons I got him involved in the club, so I walked over there with him. I set the situation up by talking to the owner about his car for a moment. And when he was talking to me, an adult and leader, he was fine. But just as soon as that boy mentioned trying to borrow a wrench, he got cussed all up one side and down the other for being a kid and for having a mini truck,. I had even made it a point to tell him the boy was a bit shy and needed a favor before leaving it up to him to ask. I looked the guy in the face and proceeded to tell my friend to get in my car and I'd take him and buy him a wrench myself. The kid was crushed and never came to another show and sold his truck shortly afterward. The point is Greg has been picking out features and pictures, most well known on mini trucks, for his bashing needs. There is a collective pattern. If you look at his profile, he claims to have previously been a teacher of automotives. What a terrible world we live in where a teacher would encourage his students to be so narrow minded. And what a terrible educator for not being able to understand that younger people, in general, are going to have wilder, more lavish tastes than those of us that are grown and are raising families. To a certain degree, our teachers are also guidance counselors...and, at times, the only parental figure some children have. Look at the titles of his posts. The first one is extremely vague asking for an explanation of nothing particular. Then he decides to post the name of a mod generally associated with trucks. Titles that gave no warning about how they were going to be about bashing mini trucks. As stated before, he used to be an educator. He knows how to correctly gather facts and do research instead of posting threads with enticing subjects designed to hook and anger a certain set of people. Mini truckers understand that some people aren't going to understand it. We also understand that some people are pure jerks and reject us. They treat us like we have no business owning a vehicle and they are better than us. But the bottom line is this. Our forum is ran by someone who lives in Hawaii...a place where people go to just be relaxed and have a good time with everyone else. Think about it, Gregg (again, three G Gregg) has created a forum for model car builders based on that same exact concept. So, when someone with a particular build style, or 1:1 style comes here, they shouldn't have to worry about someone starting threads to draw them in and get insulted. I will close in an educational note. And this may even open some eyes to change crooked tags and adjustable bodies/suspensions. The point is to showcase something here. Builders of adjustable suspensions push the limits every day on just how far they can be taken. Some have cutting edge technology and then have decorative structures incorporated to create and overall astetic pleasing to the eye as well as fully practical. Some people do mods like crooked license boxes mounted into rolling body lines to show off how well they can do seemless bodywork, But the bottom line is that the vehicle is something that someone, somewhere took the blood, money, sweat, and time to create in order to share with people open to the concepts and to people who can offer CONSTRUCTIVE criticism in a manner that would help them improve their building skills. "create in order to share with people open to the concepts and to people who can offer CONSTRUCTIVE criticism in a manner that would help them improve their building skills." What? That sounds like a certain forum I belong to. Edited March 2, 2014 by Skydime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
