about this story

Back when I was sixteen, my first truck was a beat up, and abused old S-10. I drove that truck everywhere through everything. From huge, deep, mud holes. To three states away.
One day I was driving it so hard that I lost control. Veered straight off the road right into this old brick wall. BANG! I wasn't hurt at all, but the truck was totaled. My parents yelled and screamed, and told me I wasn't getting another truck. So I put my head into the books and learned all I could about body repair and engine repair. I figured out for myself how to fix that old truck.

Five months later that old truck is out and about in that old town. Driving the square at the courthouse. I took that old truck and fixed her up to where she became a work of art. Redneck art that is.
