I can't stand the big 4x4 stickers too. Big freakin' deal, you have a 4x4....that was special back in 1950 or something.......but this 2007.......I take off all of my 4x4 stuff anymore.......

 

I wanted to stay out of this and let all of you do the talking, but I have to chime in. Up here in the north (Delaware) I have seen my fair share of this posing but it was ok until one day I seen something. I was driving around and seen this 2wd Dodge Dakota, bright yellow with John Deere all over the truck. I am thinking ok he couldn't afford a 4wd so I will excuse him for it. But this guy jumps out with the sagging pants and he was blasting (c)rap music. I was very disappointed in this. Makes those of us that do run farm equipment look bad. I own a John Deere lawn tractor and my wife's family who I work for sometimes run John Deere so I do let the JD sticker and plate fly on the truck. I do get really sick of the fake country boys, I wear Wrangler pro rodeos all the time and Justin boots with buttons up western shirts. I am not a cowboy and I do not try to be, but do know my roots and some of these kids need to quit trying to replant their roots in parts of a culture that they don't belong. Just my 2 cents on the subject.

 

diesel,

I don't know if it's so much about respecting your roots as it is about advertising what group you choose to identify with and aggravating the elders. Young kids trying to be a part of the rap culture is pretty much "in your face". Maybe that's the idea. Desperate for identity, not a clue, need attention, rebellion, etc. Annoying and immature might be more accurate. Just part of life. Does the need for attention tie in to the decals and badges on the trucks? Duh.

I don't care if you like CAT, I think they're great as well. But put your CAT stuff on something else and your CUMMINS on your CUMMINS...

 

Well sagging pants don't necessarily mean rap culture or gangsta or whatever. Everyone sags their pants these days. Heck, I even sag in a tuxedo.

Naw, but I don't really sag anymore now that I'm getting older and getting an education. But no way could I stand wearing my pants up to my belly button like baby boomers.

 

I think you should restate this part due to the fact that I never have and never will sag my **** pants. It is disgusting and anyone who choses to wear their pants below their *** needs help IMHO. I cant even believe you would admit that.

 

I laugh everytime I see an old person with their pants up so high they wouldn't need to wear a shirt. I guess when you get older your waist raises (or maybe your arms sag)

 

Sagging pants + Diesel trucks = ?

 

Saggin pants + Diesel trucks = Me runnin from my old girlfriend's dad when he caught us parked in the bed of my truck... Let me tell ya, running in cloth shorts sagged below your crack aint nothin compared to runnin from an angry dad with a shotgun in skin tight wranglers!

 

Stupid you!! Got caught!!

 

Yeah... Ever hear What Was I Thinking by Dierks Bentley? It's been my theme song for a good 4 years or so.

 

Haha, skin tight wranglers.

On the whole clothes thing. I wear what I feel is comfortable to me, and I by gah enjoy it.

 

They aint call em nut huggers for nothin. Though you get tired of feelin like you're smugglin melons till you break em in.

 

Sagging is ridiculous. I have seen too many brothers walking around sagging so low that they have a constant hold of their crotch to help keep them up....

Anyways back on topic...........lol

 

All this new craze with john deere shirts and hats and straw hats and what not has me turbed. I cringe inside everytime i see some young punk cruise up in his lowered cavalier with 22's rubbin the inside of the fenderwells if he swerves to miss a turtle crossing the road blastin some two quarters or half dollar whatever his name is and wearin a john deere shirt, cowboy boots and a straw hat...i shake my head and ask myself why...

I wear cowboy boots to work, I wear them to the grocery store and everywhere else applicable and i wear tight jeans. Why? because i was born and raised country, its as normal to me as gettin up and brushin my teeth in the mornin. These catburglers wear all their crap to be with the in crowd or make some sorta statement or somethin. to each his own.

but to get back on topic, yeah I see cat stickers on dodge around here all the time. I just try to look the other way.
