I had to get my car A/C fixed, so I took it in to Cottman yesterday that did a good job on it, and noticed when I picked it up that they had this 'gift item' behind the counter. Didn't ask about it then, but googling it here shows it to not have the stars and bars on the roof. There's a number 40 on the top and the side. Not sure what that's about, but I think these were being available as gift items since Christmas time in 2005, so it wasn't a recent "PCification" of the car...

That's a tie in to the movie from ten tears ago.

....created his stereotypical redneck character to earn $. His other comedic bits weren't successful so ironically he created a platform just as phony as the one here's referring to. Truth: stranger than fiction.

He was a regular call in on a radio station in Baltimore. Either he hadn't found the character yet or it was my car stereo but I thought he was supposed to be a lecherous old drunk guy. When I saw him a few years later and I was surprised. Yes he is private school educated in Florida.


Foxworthy was an engineer at IBM but apparently wanted to do stand up. He found a niche and went with it. He also taught one of the other guys (the one who drinks on stage) how to structure a joke. Can't remember his name but he is really funny to me.
