Oh, I wanted one of those bad when I was around 20 years of age...
Kind of still want one.

I miss the trucks from the 80s. New trucks are ridiculously large and high.

^wow
And although those air curtain vents that channel air flowing through the foglamp area so that it stays attached over the face of the wheels have become ubiquitous now, the Lucid ducts work with the fascia surface to form a wing shape that actually induces a "thrust vector" forward. That's right, it creates a negative drag of up to 40 pounds at higher speeds.

I'm probably going to sell my 90 Toyota, has a solid running 22R engine. Since I just bought a Tundra, I'm running out of room


I have a set of 17 aftermarket Cup 1s that will go on it.
