heh we always called El Caminos and Grand Torinos Mullet Trucks. It's what dudes with Mullets drove hah and what a mullet haircut would look like if you could have one on a truck.
Jealousy is a terrible state of mind.. lol
heh I had really long hair when I was a kid and there were a couple of bad haircuts that put me in the mullet realm lol.
Im a red neck from East Texas. It's what we did. I wear it with pride.
I had long hair too, but never came close to mullethood, because I would never let my mother cut my hair.
heh I was a metal head. Or as they called us in school I was part of the Freak crowd. When I first started growing my hair out. The normal cut became sort of a mullet until the hair got long enough and I trimed the back a bit and all the hair became the same length. There was a bad hair cut that I got maybe a year before I finally cut my hair off. Though I finally chopped it all off at 17. I decided I wanted to earn my own money and the hair (while I still liked / wanted it) wasn't as important as having cash and a car to get around.
My grandmother had a 64 1/2 Mustang hardtop. She use to drive me, my 4 siblings, and my cousin to the beach in it. 4 in the back seat, 1 in the passenger seat, and 1 straddling the shifter. Screw seatbelts??????? Passed it on to my family in the late 70s before it finally rusted out.
Funny, I haven't heard the term "Freaks" in years. I was part of that crowd growing up in Austin, Texas. We pretty much got along with everyone because we had the weed. You had the Preppies, Kickers, Freaks, Punks, etc.
I wanted a mullet but my frizzy *** hair just grew out instead of downIm a red neck from East Texas. It's what we did. I wear it with pride.
In my school there was more than a few tussles between the Freaks and the Jocks. Actually, there was a lot of tension in the school back then though. It wasn't just Freaks and the Jocks.
I hear ya, mechanics and gear heads would try to buy it off me all the time. They were going for that angle. Back to the Future Accord 2o2o. I would deftly still drive itI bet that thing is still running with 300,000 miles on it.
I had the same deal growing up in Jersey. There was either jocks or "heads", you couldn't be both. We used to have 30 on 30 brawls between us.
That was my first car too, but mine was black and white. I learned a lot on how to work on cars on that thing. That's why I knew I did not want to be a mechanic for my future job....a mid size 1964 Ford Fairlane 500...blue & white/ Auto/ 6cyl/ 4door/ Htr-AC/ with a kickass 8 track system...Good on gas too...lol
That was my second car. All white and I loved it. Only problem I had was the carburetor float would stick and it would sometimes flood the carburetor when I started the car. I had a small ball peen hammer I would use to tap on the carb to unstick it.75 Monte......oh, the memories.
