If your honeymoon plans included a three city tour of monster truck shows you may be a red neck.

My brother used to drive some of this mechanical silliness and it's quite something to behold when you see if from the inside out.
For example: 1,200BHP for all of 30 to 45sec then rebuild the engine.

I have to admit, I've never understood what the attraction is for these monster truck events...or rodeos either. and yes, country music sucks too. Then again, it's Monday and I hate lots of stuff on Mondays..

I have a cousin who drove a monster truck for a few years, then went on to become a bounty hunter ... yup, I live in the south. But aside from his career choices, he's not that oddball of a guy. :cheese:
