i went a month without my baby, and was going stir crazy... then i got the phone call from my wife's uncle.. he said he had a 1983 chevy that he would sell me for 500 bucks over 5 months. i thought thats perfect for a college student on limited income... so we drove the 2 hours south to pick it up..

when i got it home... yeah... it had redneck written all over it with the chrome bed linered over, two mud tires on the back, and camo all in the interior...
