Dallas, TX — Late Thursday morning, a silver 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 parked outside a local diner revved its V8 engine twice, backfired in B-minor giving birth to lesser trucks mufflers, and officially proclaimed today "National Kick Butt Day."
"There are two types of vehicles on this highway: trucks that kick butt, and scrap metal that doesn’t realize it yet," declared the Ram, which claims to have logged over 400,000 miles without ever changing its oil because "friction is just an excuse for weak metal."
Roundhouse Revs and High-Octane Justice
The truck, famously driven by Texas Ranger Cordell Walker, has reportedly spent the morning idling menacingly at red lights and daring traffic cones to step out of line. Eyewitnesses report the vehicle does not require a driver, key, or transmission fluid—it simply runs on pure unadulterated grit, Stetson cologne, and a heavy-duty suspension.
"I asked him if he wanted a tune-up," said local mechanic Earl Higgins, wiping grease from his forehead. "The Ram just glared at me with its high beams. I didn't even know headlights could glare, but I felt it in my soul. I apologized to its grille, paid it $50 bucks, and walked away."
A Simple Message for the Civilians
When asked by a passing sedan how long National Kick Butt Day would last, the truck responded by blasting its horn, which rang out with the exact force of a roundhouse kick to a lesser vehicle’s ball joints.
"When National Kick Butt Day arrives, you don't check the calendar," the truck added through a crackling CB radio. "You just count your tailpipes and hope you're on the right side of the yellow line."
