Uncool as it is exclusively driven by American red neck $#%*.
What is it with people and "Redneck"? There was a thread I remember reading on GTP about Japanese people being offended by the word "Japanese". Yet any American who drives a truck must be a Redneck? Not everyone who owns a truck is an inbred, not to mention I think people have the idea of Redneck and white trash mixed up. Sorry, I'm just seeing it so much lately. Seeing as I partake it many "Redneck" activities, such as, but not limited to; Fishing, Mudding, Hunting, Shooting, Beer, Nascar, and most importantly driving a truck. But I must also not leave out use of tie wire and zip ties for unintended purposes. It can be offensive when used to degrade a group of people, which in this case people whom own 1990's Chevrolet pickups?.. Perhaps they are just working people and don't sustain themselves on food stamps, while drinking beer all day? And happen to have an I.Q. greater than that of a Squirrel? It's one thing if it's like, "Oh man, that's so redneck right there", when referring to something like a little ranger lifted 12 inches, or some kind of Redneckery, which is sort of like country engineering. Not to be confused with real engineering however. It IMO becomes a problem when it's used like it was in your post. All I'm saying it it's getting old, IMO anyways, guys need to give it a rest...
I'm not trying to single out Vantage, but as I've said, I've seen it more and more lately. Didn't feel like biting my tongue, or finger rather in this case again, it's just uncalled for.
By the way, Redneckery knows no nationality, it can take place anywhere.
If I'm way off base here asking for that, then oh well. That's how I feel about it though.
