Worst Automotive Trends

from POG Talk · host Steve

Worst Automotive Trends - Think your truck’s just for hauling? Wrong. In this episode of POG Talk, we rip into the dumbest, most cringe-worthy car trends—rollin’ coal, stanced cars, donks, and yes, even those baffling half-lift kits squatted trucks. If you’ve ever yelled “Why?” at a lowered ride or laughed at a donk trying to turn, you’ll love this no-holds-barred rant from two car enthusiasts who aren’t afraid to call out the ridiculous. Join us as we break down why squatted trucks make no sense outside a parade, how stanced cars lose all performance, and why rolling coal isn’t just bad for the environment—it’s bad for your dignity. Plus, we dive into the weird world of donk vehicles and the slowly sinking (literally) aftermarket exhaust scene. Warning: We’re not holding back, and your favorite YouTube car mods might get roasted. You’ll discover: the real reason behind Carolina squats, the truth about race-legal exhausts versus backyard chaos, and why those super wide tires on your grandma’s Impala look more clown than cool. We also reveal the one upgrade that totally ruins diesel trucks—spoiler, it’s not what you think—and our expert opinions on whether you should spend thousands on stereo setups or just buy a decent car. If understanding the difference between purpose-built off-road beasts and show trucks sounds like your jam, this episode is perfect. It’s packed with humor, hot takes, and just enough car nerd rage to feel like a therapy session. So, buckle up, turn down that exhaust, and prepare to question all those questionable mods, because we’re shitting on every pointless trend in automotive land. (And yes, we’re fully aware we’re about to offend some… good!)
