Come on this is a web forum to discuss ways to make your TRUCK bigger, more powerful, and to modify it in just about any other way imagineable!!! Just by registering on this forum your neck has to have at least a little redness. In fact in the words of the virtual Redneck Ambassador to the World, Jeff Foxworthy, the being a redneck only identifies a "glorious lack of any class or sophistication." Heck, the Democrats have a candidate (Howard Dean) who has tried campaigning as a self proclaimed redneck. Just to be fair, by the simple fact that hes a Texan our present President is definately a redneck (nothing against all you Texans, just making a point). That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Never seen without a hat (smashed up, worn out, about ready to fall apart) , jeans, and t-shirt. Rusty good truck with dual whips and loud exhaust. I never really did consider myself one untill I met all these prepees at the University. Never had any problems finding my truck in the parking lot just look for the whips.

To quote the "PrepNeck" Jeff Foxworthy, "If you have ever overhauled a transmission in the bath tub, you may be a RedNeck."

Or in this guys case, a BW13-56 T=Case.

I thought I was a rednek but now I'm not sure. I don't wear wranglers or boots. I like the fit of Levis better and go barefoot most of the time. I work out doors so not only is my neck red but most of my back also cause in Georgia we can work just about year round without a shirt. My best friend is my Beagle. We hunt together regularly. I'm not sure if I'm pro gun or not but I own about 15 firearms between rifles shotguns and handguns. I don't own a car because in Georgia seatbelts are not required in pickups so I have 2 pickups. I believe in a fair days pay for a fair days work also. I don't like this new generation country music much. I did live in the north once. I moved all the way up to Calhoun, Georgia once. I'm just so confused.

I think you could safely be called a redneck. The no shoes is a true redneck sign. So are the guns.

Why, is it a prerequisite for owning a Ford?



No, I can't say that I am, although my father is. One of his favorite passtimes, before he moved upland, was sitting outside his trailer shooting beer bottles floating down the river. (He owns a GM 2wd pu.)

Where I live it's mostly tree-hugging pot-smokers. I'm too cool to fit in either group.


Cheers,
Charlotte

My wife says I'm a redneck. When I argue with her about it, her redneck father just laughs at me. I guess that answers the question.

No shoes and a gun is a true redneck sign? I'll be. So am I to believe Bin Laden is a redneck? Polpot and 1/2 the far east are rednecks?
So are wingtips and a tie a true sign that a person is a blood sucking attorney that milks the american working man for everything he's worth? Or maybe captoes make you a politician?
I have a cowboy hat hanging from my headliner. I have a gun or several. I have been barefoot outside just today. I have a few pairs of wrangler jeans.
No wingtips.....I have a few perfectly pressed suits and several ties. I have captoe shoes. I have a london fog trench coat.
Clint Black once said.....the shoes dont make the man.

I sure would hate for anyone to be stereotyped here.

i hate when people either try to be a redneck when they arent, or think they are just because they have a few characteristics.

dont try to be someone you arent.

and yes im a redneck from my hat to my heart to my boots.

Yeah I agree.

Kinda like white kids in suburban or rural USA listening to gangsta rap and dressing like they're from the hood, or relating to being a southern rebel when you live in Illinois.

People are people, everyone forms an image of themselves. They do it because they like it and identify with it, because all their friends are doing it, to tick off their parents, whatever, it's not my place to judge. Your image projects not only who you are, but who you'd like to become and what you value. Everyone changes their image as their place in life changes.
