I skipped a whole week of school.
Stayed home and watched TV, ate ice cream from the freezer, and made a fake note to take to school the following week.
And it was the principal who whacked me with it, not my parents.
His had holes in it though so it would travel faster on the swing.
Good old board of education.

Posting up any mod thread is about several issues:
1) Look at what I did! (we all like the attention)
2) Sharing our enthusiasm for modding our Toyotas, however that may be
3) Sharing information about our mods for those who might want to follow in the same path
4) With any public presentation comes criticism, whether it be HIDs, a SAS, or putting spinners on your wheels, some folks likey, some folks hatey.
If you can't stand the criticsm, which can be construed or interpreted as a personal attack since an individual has done the mod, then simply don't play the game.
Best advice I can give is mod YOUR truck like YOU want, grow a thick skin, and post up the mods for others to share in. Someone will appreciate it and learn from it, whether to do it or not to do it.
Thus we are a community.

I love moding my YOTA just as much as the next guy, i mean that's why we all drive Yotas.
I like Fo_Sheezy's mods.

I had one of those taken to my rump in the 4th grade.

Sure it is. my "big fancy tire" hasn't EVER come off, and a stock tire could come off too. easily. So could any other part of the car.
Those things happen. It is part of the risk of driving. It isn't likely, but it can happen.
HID'S BLIND EVERY SINGLE VEHICLE THAT DRIVES IN FRONT OF THEM OR OPPOSITE THEM
How are those two things remotely the same?

You know, it doesnt bother me. Personally i'm more blinded by people who have mis adjusted headlights. If im blinded..I look to the right at the stripe on the road like they say to do in drivers training until the car goes by. Even in my wife's lexus, which is obviously lower, it doesnt bother me really. no biggie

Only once? I got my first one in the first grade & my last one in....let's see here, ummm....8th grade? I think. I've had them broken on me before; the secret was to laugh when they were done & tell them "My dad using a rodeo belt buckle;that thing you got there ain't ****"
I started just getting love taps, detention & suspensions after that.

when I was younger, at school, I would do the EXACT opposite of what my teachers wanted...so I got into some deep trouble...
I was SO special, that I had to wear a paper on my shirt with 5 tabs, and when I was bad, they would rip off a tab...I normally went home with no paper left haha...if I got 20 tabs (4 days worth), I would get Baskin Robbins and that usually took MONTHS...lol and that was just kindergarten! They got more and more creative each subsequent year
I've been spanked with paddles, leather belts, hangers, switches (the WORST), and PVC pipe...and I've had nearly ALL of the above broken on me lol
Never the worse for wear! and only made me become a MODEL STUDENT!

I agree too. Opinions are just that, opinions. Everybody has one; most are best kept to yourself. But there's no reason to be rude. Especially if you cannot spell or articulate your thoughts in the English language. I've seen allot of truly unsafe mods or add-ons over the years, even posted here, but we should be helping others improve there rides, not telling them they're stupid. Be constructive, not destructive.

If you read between the lines of this thread...it becomes obvious...this thread isnt about HIDs at all...
Its about the people who ACTUALLY OFF ROAD picking on the ricer boys because they dont belong on this site...Then the ricer boys retaliating by saying that big tires are just as dangerous yadda yadda yadda
.....just my keen observation....I cant believe this thread is still going either....
