My dad would always use the profits from growing tobacco on a new truck every other year...

One year he bought a new truck while we were actively putting the crop in a barn.

Truck was less than 48 hrs old and he was trying to pull a fully loaded wagon across a creek to get to a barn.

With brand new wet tires, he couldn't get out of the creek. So at like 11 years old I got to watch him put a brand new truck sideways into a tree because he was too proud to unhook and let someone else pull the wagon thru the creek. But he still got it in the barn.

He wasn't even that pissed, because the only reason to buy a truck, was to use it for actual truck shit.
