Take a Truck, Take a Chevy

No truck is more iconic of the American way than a Chevy. If country music is the music of the Heartland, then Chevy is certainly the truck of the Heartland. Before we begin though, let me clarify that by "Chevies" I mean Silverados. I am not going to go into Avalanches (see S.U.T.s) or S-10s. So, for Silverados, like Zack showed with Rams, we see these trucks in many capacities:

The muddin’ Chevy:

The sport truck Chevy:

And in case you were wondering, yes, those are Corvette tail lights, and if you don't like them, the owner doesn't care. That decal on his rear windows is not a guy pissing on Ford, or Dodge, or even Toyota. No, he's pissing on "Haters".

The show Chevy:

Another show Chevy:

You know what, I've got a whole collection of this type of show Chevies. It seems everyone loves to decorate his mid 90s Chevy the same way: visor, rear window kit, at least two tones. Well anyways, lets move on..

The just plain weird Chevy:

Of course, there are a few things that are more common amongst Chevy owners than any other truck owners, though. Chevy owners dip straight Cope’. They wear boots—and not gaudy cowboy boots like Dodge owners, but real work boots. Often their boots are dirty too. They blast country music, and not Kenny Chesney or Jason Aldean. No, Chevy owners roll up listening to Merle Haggard and Hank Williams, Jr.

Chevy owners are concerned about their image just as much as Ram owners, only instead of trying show the world how large their penises are, they like to show everyone how country they are. When a bird shits on the hood of his beloved Silverado, the owner will have that hood sparkling again within hours, but when he takes it out on the farm and splatters a bit of mud on the tires, he’ll leave that stuff on there for days.

Ever notice that you see more old Chevies on the road than Rams or Fords? I don’t think it’s because Chevy makes trucks that are much more reliable than Ford and Dodge (well okay, maybe Dodge). Rather, it’s because Chevy owners take pride in watching the hundreds of thousands of miles rack up on the odometers. Never mind the fact that keeping that 15-year-old Silverado running requires a new transmission. For Chevy owners, keeping their trucks on the road no matter what is a mark of pride. 

Check out these old trucks:

Chevy owners like to collect Chevies. Of course, country folks like to collect all their old cars on their front lawn, but Chevy owners are incredibly loyal to the brand. The best part about replacing your old Chevy with a new one is that you can put a lift on the old one and turn it into a toy:

Chevy owners don’t put caps on their trucks. How can you throw bales of hay into a truck with a cap on it? But they’re not only about utility. Chevy owners aren’t shy of chrome, either:

Chevy owners seem to have an infatuation with the number 3. I still haven’t figured that one out yet (Editor's Note: he's not actually that ignorant...):

Bottom line: Chevy owners love ‘Merica, because they believe that they are more ‘Merican then you are.
