    I will admit to straightening Dad's rear step bumper with an eight pound sledgehammer when I was sixteen.

    I had backed into a stump in the timber at night, the driver's side was pushed about a foot to the rear since the pivot point was the frame. A few minutes of my buddy and I pounding on it and it was straight-ish.

    This reminds me of hearing about how you can spot the rich people in Arkansas:
    They have TWO!! '75 Thunderbirds up on blocks in their front yard.
    The 75 T bird is a nice ride! I just need to shake free a little time and I’ll get it running.

    When ya get to it----- if you can sit in the seat, look down, and see the ground,
    the official redneck repair for that is throw 3-4 empty pizza boxes on the floor.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    How can you tell a high-tech redneck? They have a garage full of monochrome monitors that are just too good to throw away.

    No duct tape?
    Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.

    I had a Ford Courier rust bucket... the floor on the passenger side had a hole in it. Friends in the know would duck towards me when I hit puddles...newbies would get a face full of water.

    I sold it as parts only. Guy who bought it drove it. He hit a field approach and the cab popped off the frame and rolled 10 times. Messed him up pretty bad. He tried to sue me but I showed the judge the ad stating parts car only, not road safe and he tossed the case. Guy ended up moving out of town over that. He was pretty much not trusted and lost his business. He walked into the bar we hung out in on Friday nights and had 10 guys tell him he was not welcome and to turn around and leave. Benefit of being in the car club! group of 200 guys/gals, many of them local business types who passed the word to not trust him... and who would stand up for each other at the bar or track!
