One of my favorite things about country music is just how much everyone loves singing about trucks. There’s a country song for pretty much every truck that has ever sold in America, and you know what? I unironically adore these songs. So, I really want to hear this idea that a pair of readers came up with.
Jason wrote a Cold Start about Dodge’s centennial commercial, and 10001010 rolled in with a great comment:
All the cool Dodges I grew up with were actually Mitsubishis.
JVDS made it even better:
That sounds like a sad car themed country song.
In other news, Brian wrote the awesome story about how one GM EV1 escaped the crusher. Apparently, GM had to resort to some sneaky tactics to get the car back. Sid Bridge:
GM: Hi there! I’m here to pick up your EV1 for it’s monthly gas tank cleaning!
Jonathan: Oh, thanks, I… wait a second. No.
GM: Crap.GM: Hi there! We’re here to do a quick satisfaction survey on your EV1. While you answer a few questions, do you mind if we check it for termites?
Jonathan: Yes. I mind.
GM: Crap.GM: Hi there! Congratulations! You’re EV1 has been award the “Best EV1 in Colorado Award!” All we need to do is get it over to the studio for a few pictures…
Jonathan: Really! That’s so cool! I’ll… hey. Wait. No.
GM: Crap.GM: Hi there! I’m here to pick up your EV1 and take it back to GM headquarters where we will destroy it. You mind handing me over the keys?
Jonathan: Are you even trying anymore?
GM: Just give me the car? Please? Will you? Please?
Jonathan: Well…
GM: Yeah?
Jonathan: No.
GM: CRAP!GM: Hi there! I brought a fruitcake.
Jonathan: No.
GM: CRAP!
The Bishop wrote about the Pontiac Fiero’s propensity to get extra spicy. But Tyler Durden points out something great:
The most under-appreciated part of this piece is: “…the postman drops the latest issue of Taillights Monthly into the box.”
Have a great evening, everyone!
