10 Jokes only Ford Owners will Understand
There's a war of wits happening between truck fans. Check out the ridiculous shots that have been fired.
1. A war of wits
There's a great, longstanding joke war between Ford owners and Chevrolet owners. In fairness, both brands have done a lot to deserve their success, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun at the other's expense. Chevy owners throw the jabs at Ford as hard as anyone, and Dodge owners will chime in as well with their own two cents.
"What's the difference between a Chevy and a porcupine?"
"A porcupine has its pricks on the outside!"
2. Tongue-in-cheek slogans
While it makes sense that Chevrolet and Dodge owners would have some sense of kinship, Ford comedians are happy to dish out at both in equal measure. So many of the jokes are interchangeable after all. Here's one we found about Dodge:
"Dodge: An engine looking for a truck."
3. Chevy speed
"Have you seen the new speed limit signs?
SPEED LIMIT 65, CHEVYS: DO THE BEST YOU CAN"
And another speed joke for the road:
"Speed kills. Drive a Chevy and live forever."
4. Chevrolet acrostic jab
Ford fans can even take Chevy jokes from the Chevrolet name itself.
CHEVROLET
C is for Cracked
H is for Heads
E is for Every
V is for Valve
R is for Rattles
O is for Oil
L is for Leaks
E is for Engine
T is for Ticks
5. The Cheapest Heap Ever Visioned Yet
C is for Constantly
H is for Having
E is for Every
V is for Vehicle
R is for Recalled
O is for Over
L is for Lousy
E is for Engineering
T is for Techniques
6. Ford fans can laugh at themselves too
Ford truck owners tend to love their vehicles like a part of the family. However, they also tend to be pretty good-hearted and fun people too. There's certainly nothing wrong with making jokes at Ford's own expense here and there. Every truck will run into problems at one point or another, so here's a couple of acrostics:
FORD: Fix Or Repair Daily
FORD: Found On Road Dead
7. Turning sights on General Motors
Acronyms can be ripe material for jokes. Rest assured, General Motors has got a few of their own at the hands of gleeful Ford owners.
"GM stands for General Mistake."
"GMC stands for Garage Man's Companion."
And our favourite...
"GMC: Gotta Mechanic Coming."
8. The Texan's Tale
This is a good one based on a joke seen on the All Ford Mustangs forum:
One night at a bar, a Texan rancher was boasting to his fellow drinkers about the money he had, the women he'd been with and how much land he owned.
Another man was listening to the Texan's gloating and began to get sick of it. Finally, he got up, walked over to the Texan's table, and asked him: "If you're so big, how much land do you really own then?"
The Texan replied: "Well son, let me put it like this. I can get in my pickup at sunrise, drive all day long, skip lunch and still not reach the other side of my ranch. How's that for size?"
The man shrugged his shoulders.
"That's not so impressive," he said.
"I owned a Chevy truck too once."
9. The Ballad of the Chevy Owner
Another one from the All Ford Mustang forums, this time from the user Cordered:
"Here I sit brokenhearted
Wishing that my Chevy started
But it didn't, so that's a wrap
I think I'll shoot this piece of crap!"
10. The jokes are funniest when you're part of the family
Jokes between Ford and Chevy are made all the better when you're on one side or another. It's hard to imagine a non-owner feeling passionate enough to laugh at some of the cheesier ones, let alone come up with new ones on their own. Luckily, however, Ford fans tend to be more than witty enough to stem the General Motors hordes.
Here's a final one for the road. Until next time.
"How do you double the value of a Chevy?"
...
"Put gas in it."
