Oh, sure, blame the Cadillac owners!
Ownership is too mainstream.
Where I come from, this is called an 'Adams County Steering Wheel.' I knew a guy who did this, but with vise grips in his '79 Silverado.
They're great for stuff like that. My co-worker has an S10, a 1985 or so, it's ugly, it's rusty, but it won't die, and all he does is haul a little wood with it.
I just don't think most of them would hold up to the stuff they show them doing in the commercials, these days.
The Super Duties and the like are sharp looking trucks, but they mostly look like rich peoples' playthings to me. A real truck should have lots of metal, inside and out, an engine you can actually SEE, not plastic guards everywhere. A BENCH seat, wing windows, preferably, metal bumpers...
Some of the farmers have them, I used to use one for a Construction Company and on a Farm I worked on a few years ago, all the plastic inside is usually broken. As a work vehicle, they need to take a beating in and out. They're all yuppie trucks now, they're not built for that like they used...
The answer to that is an older, honest, piece of American steel.
I tire of the My Ford is better than your Chevy is better than your Dodge, over and over.
I have a buddy who has a new Chevy truck, and it's great, if you want a pretty little plywood hauler. They just don't seem...
There was goods and bads with the last episode. Obviously, like everyone else I'm not happy with Don. It was nice to see Pete put in his place a bit, though.
The building Pabst built for the 1893 World's Fair was built to match Frederick Pabst's Mansion, which was built in 1892. After the fair, it was added onto the house and is still there today. It's a beautiful structure. The Pabst family used it as somewhat of a greenhouse, if memory serves me.
Made in Japan is such a neat Buck Owens song. He usually has a very standard sound, and I always liked this one, because he took a risk with it. Good pick!
Thanks to 50's on 5 for getting this stuck in my head!

That whole trying to be different thing is out there, too. I mean, we're all different, but why scream it from the rooftops? If you're willing to get an entire new wardrobe, because what you had before suddenly became popular, you really have no substance or actual taste, just that anti-taste...
I don't even think of Blue Ribbon as a cheap beer. It's 18.99 a 30 pack here. I can buy Hamm's for 10.99 a 30 pack.
Precisely. It's great to dress, act, be whatever you want. Individuality is a wonderful thing. It just bothers me when there's no substance behind it. In the case of the...
So many hipsters are upper-middle-class kids who grew up in the suburbs. They're raised by doctors and lawyers, and live in that world. They see the working-class as being 'neat' or 'interesting', because that's not the world they know. Mom and Dad want them to go to college, get a good job...
I find it disrespectful to poke fun at someone's legitimate lifestyle. It seems crazy to me to go so far is to make poking fun at peoples' ways of life into a personal lifestyle!
There is plenty of corny and cheesy things from every decade. Just seems that as history goes on, a lot of it gets...
