Hell to the yeah.

You're conflating southerners and rednecks.

Well... that's 55 seconds of my life I'll never get back...

On a side note, there is a law on the verge of being signed here in SC regarding the "Carolina Squat" trucks. It would make it illegal to raise the front fender of a truck four or more inches above the rear fender. They say that the "Carolina Squat" limits drivers’ ability "to see what’s in front of them, creating a hazardous situation for pedestrians and other vehicles."

I can see their point. And it looks dumb as hell...

Carolina Squat bill passes House and Senate - ABC Columbia

Other states like North Carolina and Virginia have banned the Carolina Squat, saying it makes it too difficult for the driver to see over the truck's dashboard.

You'd think looking like a fucking idiot would be enough to keep people from doing it.

I spent most of my life in the south, but I never saw so many rednecks until I moved to Wisconsin.

Or Mexiforny. Man.........THAT state is CRAM PACKED with rednecks, bigoted and prejudiced racists, and psychotically deranged murderers roaming the roads to kill at will.

And one last thing for the young 'uns. If you're a 10 year old girl--be faster than your 12 year old brother. That's why southern girls are hard as ice and shoot you twice.

Or the Dago Drop.

Ed "Axle" Stewart invented the "Dago Axle," so called because of his shop's close proximity to San Diego.

Wow. With that last post I just realized how much strange knowledge I absorbed living in California for so long...

They were meth/pillbillys.

The freaking Civil War ended more than 170 years ago. Americans established industrial centers in the southern part of the U.S. Southerners fought in two wars and half a dozen conflicts. People are free to travel and relocate in the South. Why does the myth of "the Southerner) still persist?

You have to live in the South after coming from the north or west.

It is a world by itself from I35 into Oklahoma and east to the Atlantic Ocean.

There are more wannabe rednecks with pickemup trucks with those rubber scrotums hanging from the hitch in Pittsburgh than in the entire state of Kentucky. In Pittsburgh untold thousands of so called wannabes are rednecks by pure affectation. Make no mistake, they are still city slickers beneath all the show.
