What specifically makes it a Houston thing?
As far as a small horse crapping on the 50 yd. line?
If needed, it only takes 60 seconds to scoop it up.
Put the "Buggy beauties’ in the caddie and you have something.

It took longer than that…it crapped while running and they had to go up and down the field to find all the turds.
We are in the glorious 3rd Ward, but a space theme might be cool.

What happens when this fad goes away?
Any day now?
It’s been around for most of 50 years.

I guess all the older posters on here won’t be satisfied with anything until 1970s and 1980s rock bands are at the game.

Swangas were popular in the 1990s and early 00s, the Mike Jones song “Still Tippin” is 22 years old… this is nostalgia, the guy that owns that Caddy probably has grandkids. It is one of the few things that is unquestionably Houston.
Also the Astros have been doing Still Tippin jerseys and DJ Screw hats, it’s in from a nostalgia prospective.

There is nothing subculture about cars in the city of Houston.
And for the record, pony crap isn’t our problem. Is it?
Am I a lover of slabs? No. The athletic department seems to like them. I’ve seen them on pictures after a player commits or transfers to UH. That seems to have started under Fritz. I don’t remember seeing those when Holgorsen was our HC.

The only good things we ever got from the CDH days is the mural near the student section where the old player’s entrance used to be and this song.

Oops, I saw the wiping nose gang sign in that video, the resident Aggie won’t like that, slabs and that caddy all in that video. Thanks for posting

“H-Town, home of the slabs…”
But they have nothing to do with the city according to some posts above.

You forgot the 1960s.
Your mental acuity is slipping.

I’m talking about those rims that stick out like that? I think that is definitely more recent than 50 years ago. It feels like the last 5-10 years I started noticing them.
Just sayin…
“In Texas, the maximum legal width for a vehicle and its load is 102 inches (8 feet 6 inches) for all vehicles except passenger vehicles. Passenger vehicles and their loads are limited to 8 feet in width, and may not extend more than 3 inches beyond the left side of the fenders or 6 inches beyond the right side.”
