I hated the cliquish, conformist behavior though. People can't be different because they have to find approval for family or occupational reasons. They look alike, dress alike and drive the same vehicles and ridicule anyone who's different.

All guys wore columbia button downs, the same hats worn the same way, jeans, work boots, and drove a z71 with pipes, a Montezuma triangle box, 5% window tint, and a go light on top, 4 foot CB radio antennae, and a cotton tag
