monster trucks

The cars (usually Jeeps or any other terrain ones) modified in the way that their wheels don't fit into the dashers anymore and it's somewhat like a tractor. It's an extreme kind of tuning that makes the car useless but for the fans' exhibitions.

That freak told us that he would jump over 3 cars on the parking lot with his monster truck. However, he then dispersed with a lame excuse.
