An embarrassing college football defeat could not dampen the fun of chatting with Billy, the proud owner of a magnificent tailgate vehicle. Converted from a Walla Walla, Washington ambulance, the rig now features a TV and plenty of room for tailgate food and bbq essentials. We asked about the condition of a rig that you’d assume was run hard and put away wet.
“In Walla Walla, it was 184,000 freeway miles. And it’s a diesel,’ noted Billy. Message… like us Buzzed Boomers, it’s still got some good miles left in it. Like us Buzzed Boomers who reinvent ourselves, the ambulance was reinvented from saving lives to celebrating life, friendship, bbq, beer, and college football.
Like most tailgaters, Billy was warm and inviting, interrupting our questioning only to grab a beer. He plans to hand off the Husky shrine to his son at some point so the tradition can continue. Thank you for making our day because the football game sucked!
