I don't mind passion from a hobby perspective. Some people are passionate about sports, coding, radios, plants, stamps etc. It's okay to be passionate about cars and trucks, just don't daily drive these if you want people to respect you. Same with stanced cars.

The problem as I see it is that these modded ones are pushed as still being practical when they are really only big toys. Have you ever noticed that jacked up trucks rarely have caps or toolboxes on the beds? The extra height takes away the utility of the bed and loading/unloading anything is a pain in the ass. They pour all this money into making their truck less useful.

I've driven big F-250s for work. They have a time, a place and a purpose. And that is not as a daily driver for most people.
