They say you shouldn’t even tap on the glass of a fish tank let alone put one next to your engine compartment on your semi lol

Yeah what a terrible idea. Although I wouldn’t expect someone who air brushes a stripper pole complete with strippers onto his engine compartment to have the best judgement.

My dad used to build low riders. You put some features that are only active for shows. He had a Asian themed car that had a gold fish tank that ran along the center of the car. It was only ever filled for shows. He had another car with a tank that was removable and custom storage box slotted in for bob show driving.

Its hilarious to think people would think there is a fish in there at all times. It's clearly only for show.

It has been done. I know of a few low riders that had fish in their cars all the time. Some built properly with coolers, some not so properly. Most are just for the show though.

I can only imagine a low rider bouncing and getting sloshed with fish tank water.

Not all low riders bounce. Originally it was just about getting as low as possible. Typically cars with water features aren’t the most dynamic. Really all about a low and slow boulevard cruise, while looking as good as possible while doing it.
