On a lighter note I thought I might pass along the results of a test my son gave me. Out of 168 questions, if you said yes to 20 or more they claim you are a redneck. Here goes-
You might be a redneck if:
You think that potted meat on a saltine is an hors d'ouerve.
(I didn't even know what quiche was till I joined the car club.)
The neighbors started a petition over your Christmas lights.
(kinda self explanitory)
Your only condiment on the dining room table is the economy size bottle of ketchup.
(I don't see where this one's funny. But for a long time I also thought Puce was something you did in the bathroom. Who knew it's a color.)
The rear tires of your car are at least twice as wide as the front.
(Again, I don't get it.)
You use the term "over yonder" more than once a month.
(Doesn't everybody.)
You think a Volvo is part of woman's anatomy.
(I thought it was right next to the Citation.)
You've been too drunk to fish.
(Again, self explanitory.)
You've ever used a weedeater indoors.
(In my defense, the wife was gone and my shop vac was broken.)
Your dog and your wallet are both on chains.
(Not lately.)
You have lost at least one tooth opening a beer bottle.
(Again, self explanitory.)
You have a special ball cap, just for formal occassions.
(Again, doesn't everyone.)
You have ever been fired from a construction job because of your appearance.
(I'll take the fifth.)
You need an estimate from your barber before you get a haircut.
(Sometimes I sneak in the back door.)
You mow your lawn and find a car.
(In my defense, it was in the country, and the previous owner's car.)
You own at least 20 baseball caps.
(Again self explanitory.)
You know of at least 6 different ways to bend the bill of a baseball cap.
(Again, doesn't everybody.)
Three quarters of the clothes you own have LOGOS on them.
(Another one I don't get.)
You've been to a funeral and there were more pick-ups than cars.
(Again, in the country.)
You have spent more money on your pickup than on your education.
(Again, doesn't everybody.)
And lastly
You've ever parked a Camaro in a tree.
(I explained to my wife, just suffice it to say it involved alcohol, a slick hilly road, and a race.)
So tell me, does that sound like a redneck to you?
I changed things around a bit, and added a few things. It's as new to me as it is to you, but I think it'll work. As usual I'll try to have a variety of topics, but come summer there will be more postings about car events. You can email me at cruisaholic@hotmail.com Keep the shiny side up!

You're right, guess I should have quit drinking sooner.
Both Windinghills and I agree (:)) this is a great piece of writing. You should be a contributing writer to a car magazine.
