I absolutly loved Cliff's truck long before we started dating (I'd see at church or on the road. His truck is so recognizable--click here--). Cliff asked me out to a movie for our second date. It was during the week, and he was to pick me up from school (we went to rival high schools), and we would then head to the theater. My friend Allison was waiting with me (Al is a dear friend from high school), and all of the sudden we heard some major base. We didn't see where it was coming from, until from around the corner came The Pickle--AKA Sheldon Jessup's green Ranchero (just like an El Camino). Inside, was my "greeser" soon-to-be boyfriend with his tight white shirt, side burns galore, and full head of dark hair. It was Cliff. Cliff. Ranchero. LOUD Base. I think Allison said something like, "Oh, Ken. Call me when you get home," while sqeezing my arm, apparently a little worried for me. hahaha. Well, as dissapointed as I was that I did not get the chance to ride in his red truck, I was equally as excited to jump in. Sheldon (Cliff's brother) spent quite the money on his stereo system in his car. You could hear this thing coming from BLOCKS away. ...I kid you not. So there ya have it--our second date.
Though this is not "The Pickel", it is the same make/model/color.
Here we are shopping for cowboy hats (random) downtown (Me-16. Cliff-18.)
Cowboy hat-Check. Tight jeans-Check. My Bronco-Check. El Paso sunset-Check.
PS-In case you are wondering from the 2 pictures, I did not regularly wear a cowboy hat growing up. This was my hat we bought and shaped as a date night.
Just thought I'd clarify. Happy Friday.
