Redneck & Cristo
Redneck
Hey, Cristo, ever think about the paradox of a truck that's built to run without help, yet still needs a mechanic to get its heart beating?
Cristo
A truck that can run on its own but still needs a mechanic—now that’s the kind of contradiction that makes me wonder if the mechanic is the real engine.
Redneck
Sure thing, but the only thing that keeps that self‑driven truck moving is the hands that know how to keep it from turning into a rust bucket. The mechanic's the real engine in the end.
Cristo
If the mechanic is the engine, then the truck is just a polished illusion—like a car that thinks it’s independent but really just rides on its own doubts. Does that make the mechanic a ghost driver or the truck a puppet?
Redneck
A ghost driver ain't nobody’s business, son. The truck’s just a machine that needs a good hand. The mechanic’s the real mover‑and‑shaker, not some phantom. The truck's not a puppet—it's a tool that follows the mechanic’s will.
Cristo
So if the mechanic is the mover‑and‑shaker, does that mean the truck is just a blank canvas waiting for its hands? Or are the hands just a way to keep the engine from dying—like a ghost of the truck’s own will?
