Next Wednesday is November 6th, and for the sake of the country, I hope my fellow Americans will awaken that morning to the results of a complete and total landslide. America desperately needs to see the decisive results of a fair and honest election. Unfortunately, even in the case of a landslide, millions of Americans will be horrified by the outcome, regardless of who wins. Both sides – with the help of a news media incapable of hiding its bias, and a social media that’s amplified every emotion a hundred fold – have persuaded the masses that we are doomed under the leadership of either candidate. And I’m not sure what that means for the morning of November 6th.
Personally, I’ll be waking up that day in Las Vegas, where the most incredible custom work truck ever fabricated will be unveiled at SEMA. This is the truck I posted about last month, fabricated from scratch in Ohio by the wizards at SugarCreek. The same truck that will be auctioned off in January at the legendary Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, as a fundraiser for mikeroweWORKS
In the coming weeks, I’ll be writing more about the circumstances that conspired to bring this truck into existence, and the remarkable men who spent the last year putting it together. True craftsmen, who used the bodies of five old trucks to build something completely new, and utterly unique. A vehicle like no other, brought to life by American tradesmen who found inspiration in the junkyard. A melting pot, if you will, of old parts and new ideas, transformed into something precious and beautiful, and truly wonderful to behold.
A bit like our country, once upon a time.
