Maybe I am turning into a redneck

This truck is hot

Normally, I’m not into old trucks.  

They’re a reminder of life’s choices.

But this truck caught my eye. It’s a vintage Ford painted with “poor man’s” black primer.  It was purchased for $1,500 by a New York City firefighter-slash-bartender, who was recently down here visiting his buddy, a good friend of ours.

(“A New York City firefighter-slash-bartender.” Damn, this guy must get some action.)

Around here, it could be considered just another old truck. 

But in Manhattan, it’s like a hipster with chest hair.  Rolling up to the firehouse on Great Jones in Manhattan, where this particular firefighter is apparently stationed—a place where ladies tend to linger—well, this truck pretty much guarantees its new owner will be starting more fires than he puts out.
