What do you do it for???

Alright, there has been topics about "What makes you a Mini-Trucker" and all great things like that.
But what do you build your mini-truck for?? What drives you to make your mini-truck better than the next and what satisfaction do you get from doing it??
For me... I love when I am driving my truck(yes I drive my truck!) down the road and I see some kid almost break his/her neck to look back and give me the "thumbs up" That's how we get younger kids into the mini-truckin' scene down the road and I get a kick out of knowing that some kid may have seen my Hoopty and wanted one ever since.. Another great one is when an "old-timer" comes over to check it out and tells me that it looks great.
So... Some people build their trucks to be better than the next guy down the street and some build them to get tropies... But what do YOU build it for??
Just something to ponder!

BAGS BITHCES BODYDROPS AND BEER. actually i built it for me, i saw a fullsize chevy bagged and bodydropped and knew i had to have one so i built a 94 S10 that was bagged and cruised that for awhile. But i built it for me to play with and to drag with.

i do it for the ladies. it still doesnt really work women love fullsizes. damn you fullsize owners damn you

I build it because I love doing it !!! And I get fueled when someone tells me it's impossible to do the things I do to it. I also love the attention....WHO DOSEN'T??? The breaking necks thing is tight too.

individuality, i love the peeps in this scene, i like spending a ton of money i will never see half of again, theres a ton of reasons man, its just what I was taught as a kid by my dad (who has a badass 46 chevy p/u btw) to me it just seems natural to have a ride that u take alot of pride in...im sure most will agree

i grew up in a shop from birth basically. pops is into muscle cars. my first car was supposed to be 1967 Pontiac LeMans he's had since i was 10 days old, but it was gonna take too much work to get her reliable before i turned 16. where he worked had a pest control place in the same building and was selling a pair of Isuzus. got em both for $500 with a set of 15x8 progressive trifans. haha. anyhow, thats what i had to work with. picked up a mini-truckin and caught the bug almost instantly. been into it ever since. after 6 years, its my way of life.

I luv it because there is nothing else out there, to me, like the mini truck scene, plus i love the build up and the finish product, there is nothing like going down the highway throwing sparks and getting looks. Its a high, I do not need drugs Just put me in a truck drive down the highway and let the sparks fly
