End of an era
« on: January 16, 2008, 09:38:52 AM »
Within the next month, I'm pulling the striping and numbers of "Big Red".  So, I took a couple of pictures of it this morning. 

1978 Chevy Silverado.  I've had it since 1992.  It was my graduation gift from the old man, he'd had it since 1980.  Unless something happens, I'll always have it.  Just going back to the chrome instead of the current scheme.  I'll miss getting the thumbs up and the woots from bystanders as I ride by, but I'm not painting it that pea green color Jr.'s going with now.





I feel that once a black fella has referred to white foks as "honky paleface devil white-trash cracker redneck Caspers," he's abdicated the right to get upset about the "N" word. But that's just me. -- Jim Goad

I have a noisy mid 90's GMC Sierra that gets nods or the  :bird: depending what neighborhood I'm in. Just relating. Maybe I'll go take a picture of the old girl in a bit.

Jr's new car is PEA GREEN?!  :mental:
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

It was bittersweet, but I'm excited about this season.  I think he'll finally have the equipment to compete.  Scratch that, I know he'll have the equipment to compete.

But one who will cry on the radio if Jr. passes him, just like he has when Jimmy passes him.
I don't like to talk about the teammates :banghead:
