    Default Friend's Father Loses Mind

    My buddy's dad went into major mid-life crisis mode last month, and bought this truck. I confess it's sort of cool in a truck-y hotrod-y kind of way. Definitely not my style, but I could see doing the Woodward Ave. Dream Cruise as a passenger, Sonic root beer float in the cupholder, life would be good. :cool:

    Dreamsicle Orange Carbon Fiber interior

    You say he's a red-neck? What part of the country?

    Ohio. Apparently the color is poorly represented in the pics. My buddy swears it's more "Home Depot Orange" than Dreamsicle.

    I think this is a better representation:



    Said buddy himself owns a 1990 Cavalier coupe with no A/C, a 2000 Camaro SS, a 1990 Corvette ZR-1, and a Harley Sportster. I think he qualifies as a redneck.

    He recently sold his 1972 Olds Convertible. It had a little Bondo on it. Sold it to a guy for $2,000 in $20 bills.

    Looked like this, only uglier:

    Lose the Cavalier, and that's the start of a pretty cool collection. I'd hardly call a ZR-1 a redneck ride.

    Didn't I see that truck in the movie Kill Bill volume 2? The truck was called Wagon, wasn't it?

    For $2k, that Olds convertible would have been a nice project car... :cool:
