Rednecks Rejoice!

2010 Pontiac G8 El Camino sport truck.jpg
It's a car, it's a pickup, no...it's a 2010 El Camino, and it's ugly as hell! Had I been alive when the El Camino were popular, I probably would have been glad to see it go. However, GM has decided to bring back this atrocity and make it a Pontiac. Until you get to the B post (the area just behind the passenger's door), it almost looks like a nice car. But then, they thought it would be a good idea to throw on the back of a pickup!

I've always thought that most people who drive pickups were a little strange. If you're a construction worker...go for it. But, the vast majority of people that I know with pickups waste a ton of perfectly good interior room to throw on a bed that will never carry anything. But, at least some people think that they look like "a man's vehicle," usually with good ground clearance and a half decent engine. But to put an equally useless bed onto the back of a car? Are car designers getting that desperate that they've decided to bring back the El Camino?

Ah, yes the good old EL Camino, which of course is Spanish for The Camino. :-)

The Ides of March AND the re-emergence of the mullet-mobile?

Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K indeed!
