T-Pain and this man is the living definition of pivoting in life and doing it all on his own terms. Rapper, professional gamer, and one of the most iconic car and truck fanatics out there right now. Koenigsegg, Rotary Engine cars, the legendary Catch 22 Truck, drift cars — this collection goes in every direction and every single one reflects exactly who he is as a person. No matter what T-Pain does he is always the one having the most fun and I love everything about his style and what he represents in this community. Go watch it and show him some love. 🔥

Pimped out Vans and this era of customization was something else entirely. Builders took a canvas on wheels and turned every single one into a rolling statement that stopped everybody cold. The creativity, the murals, the interiors, and everything in between — nobody was half stepping on these builds and the results proved it every single time. Builders are still going off on vans today and every single one deserves its flowers. Drop yours in the comments and show me what you've got.

Bad ass Ratrod and this builder went somewhere nobody else has ever been. Actuators making this thing move and flex like a bug or spider, fabrication that is completely on point, lowered right, and a clean dually setup tying the whole build together. There is nothing else like this anywhere and the builder deserves every flower this community can give. I am completely here for every single decision made on this one. Great job to the builder. Go watch it and show some love. 🔥

Chevy HHR and this thing never got the credit it deserved when it came out. Retro styling that turned heads and a platform that builders have been quietly doing incredible things with ever since. Most people slept on these completely and the builders who didn't are out here proving exactly why that was a mistake. Drop yours in the comments and show me what you've got.

Realistic Flames paint jobs and this is one of those styles that has stood the test of time and never gets old no matter how many years pass. The talent and patience it takes to pull these off at a high level is something that very few artists in the world can do and every single one deserves its flowers. These stop you cold from across a parking lot and that never changes. Drop yours in the comments and show me what you've got.

Buick Riviera and this thing was dripping with class and attitude before either one was cool. One of the most underrated and overlooked platforms in American automotive history and every builder who has ever touched one knew exactly what they had. These deserve way more recognition than they get and builders are still doing incredible things with them today. Drop yours in the comments and show me what you've got. 🔥

Box Chevy Caprice and this one hits personal. My parents had them when I was a kid — one got stolen and the other I blew the motor on at 16 and somehow I still love these things more than ever. Some cars just get in your blood and never leave no matter what happens and the Box Chevy Caprice is exactly that for me. Builders are still doing incredible things with these today and every single one deserves its flowers. Drop yours in the comments and show me what you've got.

Chevy Beretta and this thing was sitting comfortably in my top 5 dream cars all through high school. Builders are still doing incredible things with these today and every single one deserves its flowers. My only complaint then and now is that GM never offered a rear wheel drive option and it would have completely changed what this car could have been. Come on GM what were you thinking. Drop yours in the comments and show me what you've got.

Mercury Cougar and every era brought something completely different to the table. The 60s had the muscle and the style, the 80s had the controversy, and the 90s brought it back around in its own unique way. Builders are still doing incredible things with all three generations today and every single one deserves its flowers. What era was best? Drop your vote and show me your build in the comments.

Lifted trucks and these things own every road they touch and everybody on it knows it without a single word being said. Builders are going absolutely stupid with lifts, wheels, and attitude and the passion behind this community never gets old. Every build tells a story and every one deserves its flowers. Drop yours in the comments and show me what you've got.
