A-4K Skyhawk is best Skyhawk. It's basically a slow F-16.
But I'm linking to a Blues aircraft because clean is beautiful, and this is about the only way the Skyhawk flew more than 50 feet without external tanks or stores.

Can this fad die now? This is a nearly brand new Superduty diesel. Those wheels are at least 24 inches in diameter.
Who is this supposed to impress?

My guess is they used to own a Traxxas Stampede when they were younger and never outgrew it.

Clearly, they want to point out that they have $50k to blow on a new truck, and $10k to blow on wheels to make it utterly and completely useless.
It is kind of like the Chinese tradition of growing long fingernails to show how wealthy you are, since you can't do manual labor with fingerclaws.
In fewer words, it is a redneck Lamborghini. Looks fast (useful) but isn't, mostly there to show how willing you are to spend lots of money on stupid stuff. (Except pickups are Family Dollar poor-boy junk compared to Lambo money-wastage)

I was parked near a diesel Excursion that was set up like that recently, only with even bigger wheels and about 6 in more lift.
A child that looked about 10 years old was walking around behind it. Then the
man who was driving it got out; he was the same height as the the child.
Definitely an, "Oh, now I get it." moment.
The stuff above reminds me that I drove past (but unfortunately didn't get a pic of) an MG Midget whose roll bar had lettered on it "Compensating".
A torpedo-carrying Douglas AD-4 Skyraider of VA-195 on the way to strike the Hwachon Dam. The nose of the torpedo is surrounded by a plywood “drag ring” that slowed its flight and entry into the water, and a protective plywood box around the tailfins and propeller that would likewise break off on impact.

Sending my son and step daughter out for a run in my old car. He did good, not fast yet but he beat maybe a dozen people. Hopefully he’ll be ready to beat me in another two seasons. He’s much more cautious than I was as a new driver.
I never knew such records existed. So...I bought them.
