If you had to describe the State of Arizona with just one photo, this might just be that photo.
There’s a certain brand of hippie-hating jackassery around here, and many just settle for the “Obama’s a socialist” bumper-sticker. Not this guy, whom we spotted on State Route 51 Wednesday. His hatred for hippies has to be demonstrated with exhaust stacks on his diesel rig, with the phrase “Prius Repellent” stuck on the back window.
(The smaller sticker has the Cummins logo, and says, “Mind if I smoke?”)
When we saw this truck, it seemed vaguely familiar. That’s because a picture of a similar Dodge Ram — with the stacks and “Prius Repellent” sticker — has been floating around the Internet for a few years now.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,500 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
The origin of the license plate on that truck should come as no surprise: Arizona.
