Everyone laying eyes on this final model year Pontiac Grand Ville might be tempted to call it a “donk.” But just to appease the purists, who traditionally only have eyes for the fifth generation Chevy Impala, let’s just settle on calling it a very cool Hi-riser.
Chevrolet fully adopted the Silverado nameplate for its range of trucks competing with the legendary Ford F-Series back in 1999. Even before that moment, though, the branding also appeared on the previous C/K series.
Because a Hi-risers is a type of automobile that inherently needs to be heavily customized to fit the bill, often it is quite hard to know when to stop. Luckily, some of these big-wheeled jewels do fit the “not overly done” category with flying colors.
Named after the namesake coastal community in California, a big part of Chevy Malibu’s fame is thoroughly owed to the auto enthusiasts' community love for the G-body iteration from 1982 and 1983. So, here’s a perfect example from the era.
North Carolina lawmakers passed a bill to impose major restrictions on the “Carolina Squat,” a phenomenon that involves jacking up the front of a truck or SUV while keeping the rear end low, causing the vehicle to look as though it’s “squatting.” It seems that most people hate the Carolina Squat trend, but I feel differently. I’m not sure what I think about this new bill. How about you?
