Ode to the Great White


This post is for all of you out there that know the infamous Great White. This truck has been around the Wingfield family for years and years. It has "lived" in Auburn, Demopolis, Birmingham, and Chattanooga, "seen" the wild west, been chased by cops, raced through cornfields on the Auburn plains, caught on fire, crashed into, and driven at ungodly speeds down a certain dirt road. This truck is priceless in value and its history is legendary. Last weekend we went just up the road to the Martins for Winston's birthday party and Alder had the great privilege of riding in it for the first time. (Note: To all grandparents-it was just up the road and this thing is a tank so no need to worry for the safety of your grandson) So for those of you who have enjoyed the Great White by either fast rides, running from cops, carving your name on it, or back firing please find comfort in the fact that the Great White is still running and is being "passed down" to the next generation of Wingfields.
*You may want to click on the photo since it is small to see all the rust and etc. on the truck. Sorry its not a great picture with all the sun.
