Now we are getting a bit off topic, but I still can't resist:

http://www.youtube.com/embed/XlFD0Zyl_f0 (sorry, can't figure out how to imbed)

For those who aren't from Texas or don't know what "Don't Mess with Texas" actually means, it isn't a tough attitude that Texans have about their state or themselves. It is a no-litter ad campaign started in the mid 80s. This commercial is from 1991 and I can remember seeing it air when I was a kid and thinking how freakin' cool it was. This was back when I was going to a lot of air shows with my grandfather who taught me a lot about WW2 era military aircraft.

For those who are confused or offended by the "Confederate Air Force," as referenced in this ad, it isn't called that anymore (renamed Commemorative Air Force). The original name was tongue-in-cheek and not a direct attempt to draw upon the legacy of the Confederacy. The group decided to rename itself a few years ago to eliminate this confusion. The bottom line is that the CAF preserves and showcases WW2 era aircraft which is incredibly important to educate those who don't appreciate the role aircraft played in Allied Forces winning the war.

Ok, back to trucks...

The cool thing is both were built in the River Rouge plant (I think). One helped save us from the ****'s the other is a small part of saving the US economy.
