I respect & appreciate talent of Pakistanis in art & music. They have some legendary singers. Not sure it is the language (Urdu) giving them that skill or they are natively talented.

why?
The trucks are often not maintained well mechanically so there is a real danger when sharing the road with them. Secondly, from my anecdotal experience they are driven carelessly and there is a genuine fear factor from them. Also, Pakistani people generally have an avant-garde attitude towards flamboyancy. So this art kind of gets bucketed in that.
A similarly garish subculture exists in Japan: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekotora I've never seen one on the road though. I wonder if it's just a car show kinda thing.

Play with CC, the atmosphere and lyrics I find of this live piece is magical. I still come back to it occasionally.

I saw this playing on a Pakistani's colleagues desk walking past, intrigued he sent me the link. Play with CC, the atmosphere and lyrics I find of this live piece is magical. I still come back to it occasionally. https://youtul.be/gjaH2iuoYWE
Those single rear axles though. They are the arch (ahem) enemies of a well metalled road.

I was surprised by this. I'd expect a beaten up truck (as most are) would be poorly maintained and expendable in a wreck whereas a highly personalized vehicle would be much less likely to be damaged in crash by the driver given the time and money involved. I'm a huge fan or personalizing vehicles.

The only concern I have is - changes to center of gravity with these additions.
