Gold Member poopooforme Posted April 7 Gold Member Share Posted April 7 My man. I have a friend who just hauls his family's corn 30 miles to the river. One day I pulled along side a hopper bottom and he was behind the wheel. I talked to him couple days later. I said "Luke, I didn't think you knew how to dirve the semi?" He said " I don't but they bought me this automatic and now I can drive it......" I said "if you can't drive the truck then you CAN'T drive the truck..... " Fucking sissy's now a day.....

I'd rather deal with Autoshift Luke at the elevator then Pretty Boy Chad with his $300 cowboy boots, $250 distressed jeans, $100 flannel, $50 hat, and a condescending attitude in dad's prettied up Pete that he is too afraid to take down a gravel for fear of a stone chip.
