What do you do it for???
I do it for fun. There is nothing like sitting in a resterant and listening to some kids talking about the truck outside. They dont have a clue who owns it or anything but they love it. I usually dont say anything, just listen. I also like the thought that my truck may inspire a kid in the future that could be the next great fabricater. I started doing the truck thing back in 1985 and I dont plan on stoping anytime soon.
I do it because I love trucks. I love the attention I get, and no matter what anybody says...it's also nice to win those trophies at shows also. It puts a smile on my face.
i do it cuz im an addict a feen i just cant leave shit alone..... hey at least its not SMACK
I got in to mini truckin the day my roomate let me drive his truck. Within 6 months i had bought and bagged an isuzu pup. I do it because mini truckers are some of the greatest people in the world and by far party harder than anyone. One of the biggest reasons is STOCK SUCKS. If it isnt custom I sure as hell dont want to drive it.
Build it so people who see it are like "wow, you built that?" Love the respect we get from the yong crowd as well as the street rodders.

i love the feeling you get when you put on a new part or something. that feeling that you are that much closer to the "finished product" (although it is hard to say a mini is ever "done"). the attention i get from my truck is sort of like an added bonus(i have always been a bit of an attention whore). i also love sitting down and trying to think of those little details in my trucks design that will make it different from the other 500,000 s-10's out there. i think the lifestyle that comes with being a minitrucker can be as fun as building one too. partying, girls, being in a bad ass club, and roadtrips with your friends all over the united states. that makes all the frustration/time/money involved in building your truck all worth while.
After smoking and drinking a 6-pack of killians, I was told to build a mini truck by a black sabbath record playing at 78 speed.
i dont do it for the trophy`s i could care if i get if a get a peice of plastic with some fake gold plates on it i do it to be outside of the norm when i pull up to school and set it down and everyone stops what there doing and looks at me. also when im drivin and the little kid in the back of his parents cars looks and smile`s i remeber when that little kid was me and i would see a mini crusin i was like 10 when i got the itch and been at it every since
for the same reason a dog licks his nuts...............noooooooooooo......not because he can,because it feels soo good when you're done
