someone please explain this odd trend I've been noticing lately of riding around with a traffic cone sitting in the back of your truck.
seems to be mostly teenage guys. I've also noticed it often seems to be a similar crowd as the "carolina squat" people...
for a while, you'd just see regular ol' orange traffic cones sticking up in the middle of the bed, but now it seems some are even going so far as to decorate/paint them.
I don't get it...

not exactly sure what "carolina squat" is... When the rear end of your truck is lower than the front end.

I don't understand it & I've seen it. But if that's their idea of fun and it keeps them from other more risky behaviors then whats the harm. depending on what site you read, in many cases, part of the "game" is stealing them.....

I didn't realize that there was a petty theft aspect of it and that is not alright. Not at all justifying the bad behavior but putting perspective, kids long before the cone fad have stolen and shot road signs.

I know of no other readily available source of them. They're probably not buying them at a Grainger outlet with their mom.

It's a fashion trend that is meant to upset a more conservative traditional crowd. I don't understand it & see it as a safety concern but I don't let it rustle my jimmies.

Me either, and I honestly haven't noticed this 'trend" in South Alabama. Maybe I'm too busy trying to watch out for the Democrats pulling out in front of me every so often...

Whatever suits you just tickles me plum to death.

Wonder what happens when you steal a cone out of a cone lifers truck? Do you get gold sprinkles on your cone?
