**Truck Nuts and Funny Car Trends**

You want to know more about truck nuts? Check out the episode of WheelHouse that Nolan did. It's really, really great. I'll put a link at the end of this video.

If I owned a truck and I do plan on owning a truck within the next year, I would have big fiberglass butt on the tailgate, and it would be like the centaur of trucks - you know that peeing Calvin sticker? You know that we couldn't do a list of the most bizarre car trends without mentioning the freaking Calvin peeing on stuff sticker. Don't like something? Let the world know by putting an image of a child peeing on the logo for the thing that you don't like.

Which child should we use? I don't know, maybe the one from the (bleep) newspaper. Perfect! This one's been around since the '90s, and Calvin's peed on a lot of stuff since then.

**Calvin Peeing on Stuff**

You a Ford guy? Don't worry. There's Calvin peeing on a Chevy sticker for you. You a Dodge guy? Don't worry. There's a Calvin peeing on a Chevy sticker for you.

Got some examples here of some Calvin truck nuts. This one's good. I agree with this. It's Calvin peeing on COVID-19. I mean, I think we can all agree. Not huge COVID-19 fans.

Oh, dang. This is like an alt Calvin. This one's not a great Calvin. It's like a bootleg bootleg Calvin, and he's peeing on his ex. Now I don't know if that's saying like, I don't like my ex, or me and my ex still see each other from time to time, and we like water sports.

Oh, Calvin peeing on ISIS. Yeah, that... Take that, ISIS. Oh, and here we go. Calvin peeing on Bill Watterson's legacy. Now why would I say that? Bill Watterson has come out and said he never wanted to do any sort of merchandising. And the Calvin peeing on stuff kind of goes against the whole point of the comics, which was like understanding and childhood wonder.

So one, these are all bootleg and basically plagiarism. And like a lot of things on this list, you can go too far with this trend, okay? I've just been informed that Nolan has another counterpoint.

**Merchandise and Automotive Trends**

All right. So yeah, Bill Watterson, great guy. You know who wasn't thinking that same way? Jim Davis of Garfield fame. Jim Davis had a very cynical approach to Garfield. He wanted to make as much merchandise as possible. He wanted to cash in as hard as he could, which is why there was the Garfield cartoon.

There's been Garfield movies, all this kind of stuff. I don't know, man.

**Tacky Trim**

Thanks, fella. We should drink before these (laughing). Oh no, Nolan's talking trash about merchandise as he wears his own shirt (laughter).

Tacky trim. Automotive designers spend years going to college to learn how to tweak little details in a car's design to make it cool, practical, and sleek. So why on this fat earth would you go and buy a $12 fake plastic vent that does nothing and slap it on the side of your car?

Look, I'm not here to hashtag mod shame anybody, all right? There's plenty of cool things you can do to make your stockish-looking car your own, but there's gotta be some rules or else we all live in chaos!

Let's take a look at just what the heck is going on here. Oh my God. Skulls, check. There's a skull bash bar, skulls on the hood. The most offensivething to me is the scale of the World War II fender paint because this thing is obviously the guy wants it to look aggressive.

But the mouth and the eyes on this Jeep animal are very small and not intimidating at all. See what we got here? It's a Nissan Altima with I think those are canards. I actually love this one, no notes. That Metro's awesome. That's like a really cool gambler car. Shasta Tate and the rest of the Gambler 500 crew.

One of the best weekends of my life. The craziest part though is that this is not just like a fringe group of people doing this. They wouldn't make this stuff if people didn't buy it, and even major car companies are now putting fake trim on their cars. Say what you want. Nothing speaks louder than dollars. You know what I mean?

Now Max threatened to sue me over this one, but I said,

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- P-P-people love doingthangs to their cars.If they didn't, I wouldn'thave a fricking job.Sometimes people do reallybizarre things to their cars,and today we're gonna lookat some of those trends.We've got fake rust.(laughing) We've got ironic license platesand make up for your car.Why do people do it, andwhere did it come from?Hold on cu', 'cause I'm gonna tell you.- This is D-D-D-List.- A big thank you to REC Watchesfor sponsoring today'sepisode of the D-List.Everyone knows that we lovedriving fast and loud cars,but my love for vehicular driving splendorextends far beyond the asphalt.I'm talking about getting vehicles muddy,down and dirty, dusty old donuts.And what better to do that inthan a Land Rover Defender,but you can't race or off-roadif you don't show up on time.That's what they always say.You gotta off-road on time.But now thanks to REC watches,I can be on time and look good doing it.That's right, REC watches are back.And this time it's withtheir RNR collection.The RNR collection consistsof two distinct modelswith a dial handcrafteddirectly from a 1981 Land Roverand a 2003 Defenderin a design that is inspiredby its organ donor car.(typing) James! I don't like watchesthat represent a British off-road legacy.I like speed!Well, buckle up cowboy,because I know you'regoing to like the watchthat RWB and REC gottogether and collaborated on.It's made with actual piecesof Akira Nakai's RWB Porsche,his personal car.You don't like LandRovers or RWB Porsches?Fine, I know about anAll-American classic.I know you guys like that.If you don't like one of those three,then you don't like anything.No matter what style tickles your fancy,one thing is for sure,and that is that all ofthese REC watch modelsare highly limited.So head on over to recwatches.comor click the link in the descriptionand enter code 15-off-donutto get 15% off your entire purchase.You guys, this is a premiumitem. So 15% is quite a bit.Now let's go talk aboutsome more weird car stuff.If you're a city slicker like me,you might not know about this funky trend,but if you're from the South like also me,you've probably witnessed theseoddly-stanced pickup trucks.I'm talking about the Carolina squat.Yee-haw!Despite it being namedafter the Carolinas,this truck trend actually originatedfrom trophy trucks down in Baja.Turns out the real reasonthat the rear is loweredand not the front is that it helpswhen you're flying overthem sandy dunes at Baja.This angle makes yourtruck more likely to landon its rear tires.And that's importantwhen you're Baja blastin'because nosediving whilegoing 100 miles per houris not good.But like a lot of these truck trends,most of the Carolina Squat trucksdon't ever venture off the road at alland just end up looking likethey have broken suspensiondriving down the road onthe way to Baja Fresh.And because of that,a lot of people like to hateon these Carolina Squatters.But as we'll soon learnfrom the rest of this list,lots of car trends start assomething for motor sportsthat quickly devolves intosomething more aesthetic.But who am I to judge?(dramatically) Can Iget a squatters' rights?(dramatic note)- Fake patina.- A nice patina can add alot of character to a car.Ask Nolan. He's a registered patina-phile.But the thing is you can'tjust snap your fingersand have a beautifulnatural paint rust mix.That's up to Mother Nature.But if you want a distressed lookand don't have time to letyour car oxidize in a shed,there is another option.You can always paint your carto look like it has patina.In the age of endless restomodsand dwindling classic car resources,now you can make any car look likea bird has been pooping onit for the past 40 years.A nice oxidized finish looks greaton your uncle's old Dodge truck.So why not a 2015 Hellcat?And if you don't have the cashto hire an artisan patina painter,you can get vinyl wrapsthat come pre-rusted.I wonder what Nolanthinks about patina wraps.(upbeat music)(clears throat)- Look, I know we all, here at Donut,we're all about respectingall cars and all that.Every car is cool, that's our stance.But I gotta say it's one thingto like have someone paint a fake patina.That does take some skill,but to have a printedwrap to make it look olddon't sit right with me.I don't like that. Apatina is earned, guys.That's what makes it cool isthat you had to find a carthat had been sitting out somewhere for,in my case, 70 years.- Sounds kind of elitist, dude.- It is a little elitist, Iwill say. You're right, Max.- That's gatekeeping, Nolan.- Nah, it's not gatekeeping thoughbecause at the end of theday, it's just a rusty car.Back to you, James. (laughing)- Race cars got big fatletters on their tires.That's a fact, and youcan't argue with science.Look at this one.Look at this one.Look at this one.Tire companies pay a lot ofmoney for that real estate.And now thanks to fancymodern technologiesthat we have yet to understandlike paint, stencils and stickers,your car can have bigold letters on it too.- Tire lettering.- This is a trend that'sbeen super popularin the last couple years,but really people have beenpainting letters on their tiresfor decades, all right?And just like anything thatbecomes really popular,people are inevitablygonna start hating on it.I mean, you should see my DMs.But there are some seriouslycool examples of this trendin my opinion,like when Akira Nakai,one of the coolest dudeson this big fat earth,spray paints idlers on thetires of the RWB cars he buildsjust because it looks cool.Made a fricking tire company.That's awesome, all right?And sometimes looking coolis what it's all about.Just ask Zac Efron.(dramatic note)- Truck nuts.- Speaking of lookingcool, nothing's coolerthan putting realistichuman genitalia on a truck.We did an entire episodeof WheelHouse on truck nutsa while back, and itmade the trending page,which is insane to think aboutbecause it was partially demonetizedbecause no one was justtalking about bumper plumsfor 15 minutes.This is another trendthat makes an embarrassingamount of sense, all right?It plays right into that old adagethat the bigger the truck,the smaller your wiener.And it's the next logical modificationafter a lift kit, knobby tires, light bar,Monster energy drink decal.Then what do you do?I don't know. Where do you go from there?I don't know. Let's put balls on my truck.Oh, that's a good idea.We all know the kind of personwho puts balls on their truckand here in the U.S,people love being identifiedas that kind of person.These plastic pecker pouchescome in all colors and sizesup to 18 inches.18 inch balls!They even make Cybertruck nuts now.Frigging Cybertruck's not even out yet.That's the kind ofinnovation you can expectafter 30 years of testiclesfor trucks, all right?You want to know more about truck nuts?Check out the episode ofWheelHouse that Nolan did.It's really, really great.I'll put a link at the end of this video.If I owned a truck,and I do plan on owning atruck within the next year,I would have big fiberglassbutt on the tailgate,and it would be likethe centaur of trucks.- You knowthat peeing Calvin sticker?- You know that we couldn't do a listof the most bizarre cartrends without mentioningthe fricking Calvinpeeing on stuff sticker.Don't like something?Let the world know by puttingan image of a child peeingon the logo for the thingthat you don't like.Which child should we use?I don't know, maybe the onefrom the (bleep) newspaper.Perfect!This one's been around since the '90s,and Calvin's peed on alot of stuff since then.You a Ford guy?

You know what I mean?Now Max threatened tosue me over this one,but I said, "Screw it. It'sworth it if I can finally givethese uppity West Coastelites a piece of my mind."- Tesla vanity plates.- Please don't sue me, Max.I'm running out of money.Driving an electric vehicle is fine.Doing your part to save the earth is cool.Ludicrous mode is fun.Getting a snarky vanitylicense plate for your Teslais not cool and it's not funny.I know this because I'm aretired professional comedian.Nothing makes people whoalready don't like electric carsdislike electric cars morethan a license plate that says,"Why buy gas? Got watt? LOL gas."We get it!Just be happy driving your Teslabecause there are a ton of peoplewho can't afford to drive one,and there's no reason torub it into their face.This is so ingrained in Tesla culturethat there are lists on Tesla forumswith a bunch of snarkypuns you can choose fromto put on your vanity plate.I don't have a problem with Teslas.I like Teslas. I thinkthey're good. But come on!Who decided that tech guys haveto think that they're funny?You're not funny. You're rich.This one actually I do like.It says "Panel gaps,"and that's like owning a flaw of your car.That is self-deprecating,and that is funny.(dramatic note)- Car lashes.- Okay, okay, okay guys, I'vegot an idea. Hear me out.Eyelashes for your headlights.I'll admit. I thinkthey're very pretty cute.There's really no reasonfor it other than it's fun.And sometimes you want to give your cara little bit more personality.I mean the front ofcars do look like faces,and headlights are definitely the eyes.Wheels are the feet. Tires are the shoes.Exhaust is the anus. Duh. (coughs)What you might not know isthat it goes beyond eyelashes.You can get eyeliner for your headlights,which can shape themto whatever expressionyou want your car to have:angry, (growls)alluring,all types of expressions.There's even little eyebrow decalsyou can put on yourheadlights to make your carlook like that one actorwith the big old eyebrows.A lot of people like to hateon these and make fun of them,but don't let people tell youwhat you should orshouldn't do to your car,unless it is an unfunny pun on your Tesla.This next car trend isa "crontrovershal" one.(upbeat country music)- Extreme camber.- First, let's talk aboutcamber for a second.Negative camber meansthe bottom of your wheelis farther out than the top,and it's not necessarily a bad thing.In fact most cars, especially race cars,have negative camberbecause it helps withhandling and drivability.Negative camber has alsobeen a pretty important partof stance culture becauseit lets you fit wide wheelsunder your low car.And you know I like bigwheels on little cars.But just like pretty mucheverything else on this list,some people like to taketheir camber to the extreme,sometimes to the point where the caris barely even drivable.There's a whole subculturein Japan called oni camber,which literally means demon camber.It's been described asan offshoot of Bosozoku,which is all about vehicular absurdityand throwing function to the fricking curbalong with your front splitter.Now I'm not gonna lie.This is a very silly thing to do to a car.Extreme camber will destroyyour tires way faster,and if you're not thebest at parallel parking,you're probably gonna bend your wheels.But I mean, it's not like they haveveiny human testiclesdangling off of their bumpers,so it could be worse.Now this is the reason thatwe made this video, all right?This is the best.We didn't even know that these existeduntil a couple of weeks agowhen we saw them at a car show.(spooky music)- Car show dolls.- If you've ever beento a classic car show,you may have noticed that some of the carshave like these little dolls in overallswith their arms crossedin front of their eyes,crying against the grill of a car.Hey, you know what my car needs?A child crying on it.So what the (bleep) is thedeal with these things?Turns out they have abunch of different nameslike crybaby dolls or punished dolls,but the most common and onlyslightly less creepy nameis timeout dolls.And these creepsters were super popularin the crafting and quilting communitybefore making their move to car shows.No one really knows whythey became so popular,but some people think it wasa way for the whole familyto get involved in the car scene.While papa bear was busywaxing the old Bel Air,mama bear was sewingtogether a matching dollfor the car show display.But timeout dolls are just the beginningof this weird trend.There's another style ofdoll that's super popularin the low rider scene.These things aren't just in overalls.They're dressed like the owners,like a miniature version of them,which makes them cool, Iguess, and not as creepy.Let me know in the commentsif you know someonethat I can commission acrybaby doll version of me.I'd love one.(beep)You ever think, "Dang,I wanna do some cool stuff, butI don't have the right hat?"Boom! Problem solved.Introducing the firstofficial Kentucky Cobra hat.Perfect for doing anything in.Perfect for doing stuff like this.(explosion)(grunts)Perfect for climbing ladders.(electric guitar music)Perfect for shredding!Perfect for chilling on the couch...with your boo.(electronic music)She's in the bathroom.I've been waiting so longfor these to come out.We've been working on them for a while,and I'm really, really, really stokedon how they turned out.High quality embroidery on the front.That's the new officialKentucky Cobra logo,Donut hit in the back, also embroidered.Mesh back. I love the fit.It's my new favorite hat.I can't wait to see you guys wearing them.Post pictures on Instagram,tag me in them. I will repost.(upbeat music)That's how you're gonnalook when you buy one.(beep)Now there's millions more car trendsthat we didn't cover on this one.Let me know down in thecomments which ones we missed.Maybe we'll do a secondversion of this video.If you want to learn aboutmanufacturer car trends,check out this episode of WheelHouse.Follow me on Instagram @jamespumphrey.Follow Donut @donutmedia.Love you.(upbeat music)
