This paragraph tickles me.

From the book "Monster Trucks" by Tom Morr:

"To many Americans, monster trucks remain a Jeff Foxworthy punchline. The fact that almost everyone who drove a monster truck during the sport's golden era, the mid-1980's to mid-1990's, sported a mullet perpetuated the industry's white-trash elan."

First of all, I love that monster trucking can be said to have had a "golden era."

Second, I love the term "white-trash elan" -- I never would have thought to put those words together. Brilliant.
