It's a style thing. Lots of folks aren't happy with mass produced, bean-counter influenced "stuff" so they personalize it to fit their own tastes. To each their own. And some people just like to piss other people off. I've often considered buying a Suburban or crew cab p/u, jacking it up and run some big @$$ tires just to annoy the hell out of the holier-than-though types that are so prevalent in CT.

Things designed to appeal to the broadest range of consumers won't fit everyone's needs or style.
