Thanks for the compliments and I do have an out ... the text the story was originally sent in with WAS a kid's font (very similar to whatabout the thread). The letter height varied and it definitely was what an eight year old would do.
The mag didn't have that same font so did the best they could. Hell ... even I had a hard time reading it and I wrote it!!
And the first draft poked some righteous fun at some very influential folks in our industry. And there was some not-so-righteous fun poked too ... had to tame it down a little.
As for the "Detriot Speed," that was intentional. The Tucker's had this custom awning made for their transporter about two years ago. This awning was trotted out and installed at every event, every Good Guys, and at every place that rig was displayed for any length of time. Earlier this year, I looked up and as I can find a misspelled word in a field of text, immediately saw "Detriot" before the "Speed" and, of course, couldn't let this just go unnoticed. Uhhh, Kyle ... Check this out?
That awning had been done and up for over a year and no one had spotted it.
would have loved to read the unedited version,lol...
