It is
the hour before midnight, on the harsh, gray flat asphalt road along the
banks of one of the Great Lakes . A truck races by like a
shadow, the moon glowing behind a small house. The car swiftly goes on
by, the dim light from the fogy night: --moon penetrating through the
fog onto the tuck and house, where a man is standing by the road; --
music is heard coming from the car, Rock & Roll, as this stranger
standing by the road, a man in a red plaid shirt, he stands erect, as if
he was Paul Bunion; standing in-between the road and the house as a
truck races by.
However, while
Ford certainly saw the potential for soaring profits by basically
eliminating their payroll costs in Mexico where the daily minimum wage
is about $4.50 a day, they did not count on their business plan becoming
another casualty in Mexico's raging drug war.
What the hell? Why would
these people, this underclass, this despised minority, feel a kinship
with a singer that represents the right wing status quo? Shouldn't these
guys be listening to Steppenwolf (or at least Eminem)? Lets face it, the
main stream of America doesn't hang out in places like this. In fact,
most suburban middle class goons would prefer that these people simply
vanish from the planet. So why would the customers at Twisted Sisters
get behind this new super nationalism? This was like seeing Jewish kids
singing Deutschland Uber Alles, for god's sake. http://www.wikihow.com/Diagnose-a-Loss-of-Spark-in-Your-Car-Engine
Skip: "Not sure, --maybe a skunk, dead frogs, the water
smells sometimes; maybe shit, who knows up here, could be a combination
... let's shut our windows." As another mile goes by it
starts to get a little foggy looking out the window, shadows seem to be
everywhere. I quickly came to a startling conclusion: people
will sing along to anything. The content of the song doesn't matter.
Politics simply don't enter into it. People are really singing along to
the melody, or the bass line or something. What the words actually mean
is immaterial.
Linda moved to Florida and got a job as a,
school teacher, here in the area. She wanted to buy a house so that the
kids could have a home. Lo and behold! She gets a notice that Ford Motor
Credit is suing her for the deficiency balance on the
buy
truck usa that they repossessed from
Outdoor Bob. The deficiency was over $5,500.00 Even though the Judge
instructed Bob to make the payments, he didn't. The judge never thought
to check with Ford Motor Credit to see if they would accept Outdoor Bob
as the new guarantor on the loan. They of course wouldn't have done it
anyway. After all, Bob's credit was terrible. If you've made it this far, you're a few steps away from
$3,500 or $4,500 and a new, more environmentally-friendly car. No need
to register-the official website explains all you need to do is head to
a local car dealer. The national program runs off a $1 billion fund.
Once the money runs out or we hit the month of November, you're on your
own. Outdoor Bob, needed a truck
to go to work. Linda went with Bob to the local Ford dealer and bought a
new Ford pickup. Linda had the credit so the loan was in her name. About
six months later, Bob started to stop off on Friday at the local saloon
to cash his paycheck. Sure enough, there was a dart board there and a
few of the guys started tossing darts for beers. Bob was pretty good and
they invited him to be on the local dart team. So
there you have it. I have listed some of the more popular accessories
for a Ford truck. Of course there are many more such as performance
tuners and if you are going all out you can completely upgrade the
suspension. That will be another post for another day however. Until
then happy trucking my friends, hope to see you out at the truck
shows.
