Default How to spot a mall ninja

Here are a few ways of identifying the mall ninjas (kudos to the ts member who originally coined the term in another thread)....also known as mall crawlers, grocery getters...etc.......

Here are a few revealing traits....Please feel free to add more...

1. Mall ninjas spend hours and hours cleaning, washing and polishing their truck....every few days out comes the clay bar (whatever that is) and a new coat of wax is applied

2. Mall ninjas worry about trying to eke out another .25 miles per gallon. They will try anything to get a minuscule improvement in miles per gallon. They will always compare their mileage to their BMW or any other luxury vehicle and can't understand why their truck mileage is so poor.

3. Mall ninjas have about 2 inches of sidewall on their tires and will wreck their rims if they hit a speed bump at a speed greater than 5 miles per hour

4. Mall ninjas will line x their bed, then place a bed mat on top of it. Their bed will always be empty and will never have a speck of dirt.

5. Mall ninjas will obsess about 0-60 times and will do any perform mod that promises to shave a tenth of a second off their time......

These are just a few ways to spot the imposter....Remember this is all in jest. I hope no one takes offense and sees this thread for what it is...an attempt at humor....

Regards......

Actually their called Poser's,ones totally consumed with vanity.Living in fear of their social status ranking based on feedback of others cyber acceptance.
Wouldnt know a truck if it hit hit'em in the @$$

Only thing missing is a reference to lifted 2WD and having a friend "piping" your truck while you run video



Good Post

That was cool.

I would also add in the dorks that lift their trucks to the sky, slap fat mudders on it and never allow it to see dirt.

They have Chrome brush and tailight guards.

They complain that the truck doesn't ride smooth, handle or drive like their Bimmer

No front drive shaft, and HORRIBLE steering angles/setup should also make the list

in regards to the people griping about fuel mileage on these trucks not being the same as their other cars....these are the same people griping about "thin" sheet metal and "thin" bumpers and "thin tailgates" u know, all that stuff thats the same on any and every modern truck but they want to complain about it and if it was nice and beefy and thick steel like in the 60s and 70s then the truck would be heavier and get even less mpg......compromise isnt in alot of these peoples vocabs. also as stated above they are the ones who complain about it riding rough (like a truck) and want toyota to fix it and even acknowledge it is caused by their roads around where they live in particular but still say its 'broken'.

Let us not forget the trucks that:

Have 40" Super Swampers marinating in Armor All,

Have polished aluminum wheel wells,

Have rear shocks situated like an organ pavilion,

Have 9' of cab and 5' of bed,

Have diesels with no tow hitch,

Have "silly boys- trucks are for girls" stickers with teenage girls behind the wheel,

Have …well that’s enough for now. I’ve probably stepped on enough toes already.

These are the same guys who aren't in law enforcement or the military but show up at the gun range with the dual thigh holsters and every conceivable piece of "tactical" clothing and equipment they can buy. They then proceed to break every rule of gun/range safety because they don't have a f-ing clue what they are doing.

DO they also practice the stop, drop, roll and fire stance?

Can I still wash my truck every 3 months or so, or will I be deemed a crossdressing mall ninja?
