Description This submission comes with a funny story:
One day I'm driving with two friends of mine (for the sake of anonymity we'll call them Gary and Don), one of which is the model for this picture. We were having a light conversation, and more or less cracking jokes, about some people out there and their obsession with cars. An example came up: I had heard two gentlemen arguing about what Ford (as in the car manufacturer) stood for. One claimed Fix Or Repair Dailey, the other claimed First On Race Day.
Suddenly the car grew quite.
Gary, who had completely misunderstood what the one gentleman from the example meant by "Race Day", went into a subtle fit. He didn't understand, as he tried to convey, why racial prejudice had to be in everything. Why two guys talking about cars had to invoke some mysterious "Race Day", a day that Gary had fabricated in his mind where all prejudices took hold of the world, where one ethnicity would fight another... basically he was thinking of a bunch of good ol' boys getting into the back of a Ford pick up truck and chasing down people.
Long story- probably a "you had to be there" kind of thing, but I felt that it was a necessary aspect if the picture was to be posted.

Thank you
Well it wasn't an action shot in the true sense- he held the pose for quite a few seconds, but thanks for the compliment all the same!
