He's more Texan that a lot of native borns.

In that case.... You are accepted as a Texan. Now go forth and ride...I believe it fell on the backseat of a Ford Maverick.
Surely that counts as something

Sounds nice."You are what you drive"
I drive a dented, rusty (a little smelly) 97 GMC Z71. Gas has been in it so long it barely burns and the wife won't even ride in it. Most everything still works, more or less but not like it used to. It has small unexplained leaks occasionally and the headlights are little more than ornamental........
The 96, 97, and 98 GM trucks with the Vortec 350 engines are still some of my favorites. I had a 97 1500 extended cab Z71 that I put 130k miles on, and traded in because my wife just had to have this beautiful red Ford Explorer. Biggest vehicle mistake I ever made. That POS spent more time at the dealer than it did at my house. Ford finally bought it back after we got a lawyer involved who specialized in Lemons. She got a 97 Suburban after that, with the Vortec 350, that we bought with 85k miles and we put another 65k on it before trading it in on a new Tahoe. Around the same time I bought a 96 Chevy 2500 crew cab long bed 4X4 with the Vortec 350 and a 5 speed that got over 20 mpg on the highway. That truck had over 300K miles on it when I sold it, and all I’d ever done to it was replace the A/C Compressor."You are what you drive"

Have to stop now, depressing myself.
Bought the wife a new Equinox, the 2.0 Turbo is peppy but gas mileage averages around 24 mpg.
A little Suburban tidbit:
Back in the mid 80s my employer bought new Suburbans every year from a high volume dealer in DFW. One year, (86/87?) the dealer told us that would be the last year for Suburbans. GM was going to quit making them. After review, GM realized that Texas alone could support the Suburban project and still be profitable!
Used to be a Chevy family. Counted last holiday, 5 Nissans in the driveway, had 6 at one point in time.Yeah I’ve been driving the 2018 Nissan Titan Pro 4X..........It’s the first non Chevy or Ford for me in my entire lifetime.
...aaaaand thank you! Course Im still drivin my 97. 350HO crate. You saw the pics of the new front end going on it last month.The 96, 97, and 98 GM trucks with the Vortec 350 engines are still some of my favorites.
