Who is hotwheelsburbon?

I don’t know her but I think she’d be kind of neat a girl with a truck, and I would imagine she knows how to work on it which is really cool in my book.

That 92-93 with the horns on it, just says "Texas".....or a stereotype Texas anyway! Something you'd expect JR Ewing to step out of....
Jeez, Dallas, I'm showing my age now LoL....
My great grandmother LOVED that show, but she had worked as an accountant for many people in the "oil bidness" for many years and knew those characters well.

Somewhat related, reminded me of that kinda long story I told about my old '63 Suburban. Took me about 30 seconds to find it in a search, so here it is again, lol

Decades ago.. a story from that same single-reservoir system brake hose failure vehicle. '63 Suburban. This truck was the biggest pile of.. OK, it was yellow/white two tone, primer red fender and header panel, primer gray splotches all over it, huge rusted out areas all over (was originally from a rust belt area), had Toyota bucket seats attached to a bare metal/rust floor, the factory rubber mat had been crumbling away for years, etc. No grille and the headlight adjusters broken years ago so zip ties were holding the headlight buckets in place. Etc. you get the idea, a real sh@twagon. Had a swapped-in 350 and TH400; ran great.

So of course this was my daily driver. At this particular time I worked at a very high-volume clone PC shop owned by a couple Vietnamese dudes called themselves Louis and Robert, crazy dudes, couple real jokers. Well they get the idea I should go pick up a visiting VIP from a major vendor - turns out dude is some high-level executive for Orchid Technology, well-known back then for their graphics cards. Staying at some super-fancy hotel with this huge circle drive, I parked down around the curve and walked up to meet him in the lobby. I greet him and say, Louis and Robert have sent the limo, it's waiting outside; let's go..

As we walk, and walk, and walk I can see this poor guy is starting to wonder WTF is going on, probably beginning to sweat already in his nice suit and this horrible Houston heat. We round the curve and I march right up to the Suburban and open the passenger door for him with a huge CREAK and POP of the flapping fender against it, motion for him to climb in, as he stares with the most surprised look.. and a long pause.. then smiles real big and in a heavy Asian (I think the dude was Chinese but don't wanna assume) accent says, "Oh.. TEXAS!!!" and jumps right in.

Louis and Robert were literally waiting outside the whole time so they could see us pull up and laugh at the guy as he got out. Big fun.

Oh, and I guess I have officially become the old dude that tells long, rambling stories. Oh well.
