A pick-up, d’uh
That’s the answer, of course. The question is: what does an uber cool Native North Carolinian drive? Now, I am not uber cool, only slightly cool, and also, I have 8 kids, so I drive a minivan. I should actually drive a bus, but HEY! we take what we can get, yk? But my dad drives a truck, and he is absolutely the coolest person I know, bar none. Let’s not make this article about my dad, though. I could do that, but I really want to talk about trucks.
We do drive trucks here in North Carolina, and it’s because we use them. North Carolina is still heavily agricultural, and so trucks are necessary for moving and hauling stuff. Tobacco and cotton must be taken to market, feed purchased and brought back home, and in general something must always be hauled somewhere. Now, it used to be that one purchased a vehicle and just drove it’s wheels off and then bought a new one, but these days, many are leasing their cars or trucks, and this includes working farmers. These folks typically use truck bedliners so that the bed remains unmarred and they don’t get docked for damages when they turn the truck back in.
Of course, that doesn’t explain the uprising in pickups in heavily urban areas, does it? Wannabe rednecks, maybe?
Not the stuff they make fiber cable from, either.
