Red Neck Rampage----- His/Her Vehicles | emerald's Blog

So, the car we earlier committed the "snake-killing felony" in would be 'Her Car'--- aka My vehicle--- otherwise known as the 'family car' when everyone must fit together. Or 'emergency car'--- when His runs out of gas or breaks down! 

Ironically, His Vehicle--- His Truck--- is HIS--- At all times! 

Care and maintenance of said vehicles are noteworthy. Red Necks are wonderful "shade tree mechanics"! Unfortunately, they frequently rest as long as the tree provides the shade! THis results in the quickest, best (or not so best even) rigged way to get a vehicle charging back down the gravel road from Point A to Point B! 

This is how I aquired a 460 Air Conditioner in my car. That's 4 windows rolled down, while doing 60 mph!

Each time I reclaim my car (usually by the weekend), I cringe when opening the door. I know the floorboards (and seats) will be invisible to Mt. Dew bottles, snack wrappers, dry wall, mud clots, and tools for quick fixes. We won't even discuss the 75 pound doe that fit in the trunk, one year. Or the 5 bass fish that were accidently left in trunk for several days before the smell led us to the decayed creatures. No! THose stories send me OVER THE TOP! 

Now when I look into the rear view mirror, I see the ceiling interior drooping and flapping in the wind, instead of the cars behind me! THat would be the Boy's art work with a claw hammer while (un)supervised by R.N. Daddy! The rest of the ceiling damage is torn slits from said Daddy forcing his fishing poles into the back seat! 

I also tend to check my own vehicle fluids, especially in extreme weather conditions, because you can bet your sweet patoot He didn't! Obviously, it's cheaper (?) and easier to bolt in a new motor when you fry the old! Well, perhaps I am being a bit unfair! Last summer when the bugs piled on the windshield deep enough not to be able to see, He was kind enough to fill the Washeer Fluid Reserve for me..... with WATER! 

Our vehicles are always OVERDUE for oil changes. Last time, hubby was in the middle of a job that wouldn't "pay" for a few weeks, so I bought the oil and filters for BOTH vehicles. Two days later, guess WHOSE truck got the oil change? Guess WHOSE car went over 2 MONTHS??! Wonder how he'd feel if next time I paid his dad or brother 20.00 to change my car oil? Huh! He'd probably say He woulda done it if he'd known I would pay!  Effin Red Necks!
