When you bought that GMC, they were honest when they put "GMC" on the grill. They probably didn't explain that "GMC" stands for "Got a Mechanic Coming"
The GMC's "sister" truck wanted an honest symbol of the truck's "manliness" so they adopted Pee Wee Herman's famous bow tie. Is that manly or what?
We all know which truck honestly displays the initials of "Fix Or Repair Daily" Backwards, those initials stand for "Driver Returned On Foot"
Some think the word "DODGE" on the front of our great trucks has to do with John and Horace. Not true... they died and the trucks were named "Graham" When Chrysler bought the company, they started putting the word "DODGE" on the front as an early version of the Surgeon General's warning. It meant, "Get out of the way! This truck is coming through!"
And that's the truth - the Texas truth - sworn to while eating Nacho chips dipped in Pace's Picante Salsa and washed down with a Lone Star Longneck - or two.
