We’re pulling Camaros from two classic comedy movies today and making you decided which one will be victorious. But first, let’s check the results of yesterday’s total dud [...]
While I am not a huge country music fan, I do love trucks and this video is chock full of them. Not only that, they are cool old trucks blowing donuts, throwing rocks, and burning out. Lots of country music songs reference pickup trucks in a somber and sad tone of woe, but this one [...]
