    Is your eyebrow under your eyes? Probably. Mater's eyebrow is over his,...just like every other non-inbred.
    And sorry, Carl, diggs is not correct. It is obvious to anybody with half a brain that Mater looks nothing like that truck. He's wrong,..sorry.

    Many correct points there. And may I add, beware the undereye brow crowd. They are generally angry at their lot on life and will take it out on you if possible. Best to steer clear altogether.

    It's one thing to have a truck be the 'inspiration' for a fake character, but it's totally another to be modeled after one. Mater the Cars character is no International. Chevy wins the prize, as Sarah's truck pics clearly show. Next!!

    Oh, and Sean's driving. He knows more about vehicle safety.

    i just wikipedia'd it.

    1951 International Harvester L-170 "boom" truck[12] with elements of a mid-1950s Chevrolet[11] One-Ton Wrecker Tow Truck.

    guess everyone was right. i just said tow truck. paul said international. cool. top movie by the way. we used to travel those roads alot when i was a kid. realistic in a cartoon sorta way

    Regarding the posts where FF and I are made fun of; I think that two are very funny. Dan's because that picture is just classic and Lonny's because both of those guys, and that movie, are funny as hell. Diggett's attempt is about what we've come to expect from her. That is to say a very basic, lame attempt at funny. Ah well, keep trying.
    Oh, and how are those personal Birthday Wishes coming along?

    Someone was making fun of you? Where? Send me a PM with the post numbers and I'll investigate it.

    If I cared, I would, but I don't so I won't.
