The influencer known as Towminator, famous for documenting unusual encounters during his tow truck work, was shocked after seeing a Mazda 6 converted into a pickup truck.
“I present to you the Mogadishu mobile,” wrote the influencer in the caption of the video, which reached over 148,000 views.
The Mazda in question had the entire rear roof section removed, the back seats ripped out to transform the vehicle into a pickup. The vehicle had several rubber strips attached to the outside.
“I know you’re kidding me right now, I know you didn’t do this to the Mazda 6, my brother,” said the influencer, shocked by the modifications.
“Bro, what are the tires for, armor? Like, in what situation, what?” continued Towminator.
Several users took to the comments to point out possible reasons why the Mazda looked like that.
“Those are structural tires,” noted one, suggesting the tire strips serve a functional purpose beyond aesthetics.
“The tires are to hide the imperfections in the seams,” said another.
A third explained to the influencer that he had done the same type of modification on a friend’s car that had been in an accident. “It was my friend’s car, he got rear-ended twice, it was a total loss.”
“He gave me some money and that car in exchange for my backup Camry. I always wanted to cut the roof off a car to make a pickup. It was the perfect car for it,” he said.
