I know that lisa... I just didn't like the term hick and how they were using it! Guess i showed them huh! LOL

 

I understand. I would've laughed my *** off had I been there, but ultimately you probably just gave them more bad things to say about you. Don't think i'm all on a high horse about what you did either. I once got thrown out of a restaurant for starting a food fight.

I would've been offended too had a bunch of yups started calling me a hick behind my back.... but any of my friends can call me that all they want because its sorta true.

I had a friend ask me one time what the difference was between a redneck, a hick, and a hillbilly. She didn't understand why it was acceptable for rednecks to call one another rednecks, but seen as derogatory when used by non-redneck/hicks. lol. I tackled that one carefully.

My family is the exact opposite of that girl's family. If I brought a city boy home, my family would eat him alive. We don't care about money or social status, but if you can't shoot/fish/do manual labor..well it just won't work out.

 

Same thing here... And i have no problem calling myself a redneck, hick, or even a little bit of white trash. But when some yuppy thinks they know what one is just cause of how i act??? Thats where things go south. Either way here a pic of my family and yes my dad does have a mullet...

 

LOL thats the rare and hard to find "Canadian balding mullet!"

 

lol nice. I take it you are in the cowboy hat? Who is in the back stuffin his face? Why is it that in every family picture (mine included) someone ALWAYS has to be eating?

We have few family pics with more than just a few of us in it where someone isn't eating.

 

Said that many times...

It's an original C-code 289 2v 3-speed car, non-GT or any factory add ons, - Mom and Dad were plenty poor back then. They got $220 for a trade in on a '59 Buick. Dad gave it to me when I was 16, I promptly hot-rodded it and drove it hard. Luckily all the fenders and bumpers are still original. It's a complete car minus the engine (sold it for college money) and the T-10 that I swapped into it.

 

Thats hilarious, I could see my self doing somthing like that..


I get called a redneck for driving a diesel truck, and likeing whiskey... I wouldnt say I am a redneck, hick, or hillbilly, But I do have "redneck tendencies" I guess you would say, but that all comes from being around my dads side.

There are a bunch kid around here that for some reason think its cool to be a redneck so they wear boots, get daddy to buy them a truck, buy anything camo they possibly can and they all seem to START fishing ( i literally mean start as in never done before till high school). They have never done any real manual labor, or even held a gun. They all live seem to live in nice sized houses in a pretty expensive suburb of DC. The funnest part about it is they all seem to hate me because "Im not really a redneck" WTF? I never said I was and I dont go around with a big lip in everywhere to try to seem like Im from the backwoods of somewhere...Ive done more farm work, fished, and shot a gun more than anyone of these little spoiled kids.

 

Since you were all discussing cars, I thought you might enjoy this conversation I had with my other half. It probably looks something like a conversation you might have with your wives. FWIW, Randy currently has THREE Buick motors sitting in his garage.

Randy: I see there is a Buick 430 motor WITH the very very very hard to find B.O.P. style turbo 400 for sale for $300
That is a STEAL

Lisa: and the last thing you need

Randy: And I see a 2006 Jetta TDI that with 30k miles for 5200

Lisa: Now that would be cool
something USEFUL

Lisa: eventually we should get us a little diesel

Lisa: but somewhere along the line we may need to part with some vehicles...If we had the buick, nissan, jeep, powerstroke, and WV..plus your company car, thats insanely excessive

Randy: NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lisa: lmao
ok then ill put you in charge of the barn/garage to put them all in

Randy: That's why a Buick 430 will look nice

Lisa: the last thing we need is another muscle car that sits and collects dust

Randy: It's a motor actually
Made one year and one year only

Lisa: ok...another motor that sits and collects dust

Randy: This is the future of high dollar arena of old american muscle
They haven't made these motors in almost 40 years
No one will EVER remake them due to the expense

Lisa: uh huh

Randy: They are remaking bodies and such, but 20 years from now these items will be HIGH dollar
I'm telling ya

Lisa: and the cost of dragging that motor around and storing it for 20 years will be?

Randy: 20 years from now, just think how valuable a 7.3 turbo will be
We will be wizzing around in hydrogen and electric cars

Randy: Muscle will be a rich mans sport
It will be a rich mans sport
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
KA CHING

Lisa: okay sweetie
lol
I guess my long-term investment goals take a form more along the lines of a savings account, or 401k

Randy: That's boring
This is exciting!
Take this 430
Disassemble, clean and paint, and reassemble
No rebuild, just a clean old motor
No money into it other than labor
This is the next Barret Jackson auction item
I know it

 

I have two words for you, Lisa: Good Man!!!!

 

No kidding, he's cool for sure.

 

Just got the 3rd coat of techwax on. What do you think? polished the chrome rims a bit too. Oh, and my co-pilot, Kelly. I was thinking about ditching the running boards, what does everyone here think? Should I go nothing, or maybe tubular?

 

yeah, but think back to her description of him jumping out at her after getting out of the shower, and imagine him gyrating like that while having that conversation.... why I remember these strange things, I'll never know...

 

He is just thinking of your well being....in the event of a tornado you could justy strap yourself to that thing and be reasonably safe......

or maybe

Yep, fixed me a new motor for the lawnmower this year.... a 430 cube V8, I hope its big enough.

either way, sometimes need has nothing to do with it if the WANT is strong enough.

 

Lisa your ol man sounds like quite the guy!

That conversation is oh so familiar too.

Sure made me chuckle reading that though, seems like I have a convo like that with my other half every damn day!

 

Seems like everytime I talk about spending money on my truck my other half says the same thing lol, I guess its a guy thing...
