Battle of Sugars: Sucrose versus corn syrup

Trucks and women, then and now
What’s old is new again. Here is an old Overdrive Magazine cover and here is a recent Overdrive photo shoot of a pretty girl and Gene McKinney’s 2000 Peterbilt 379 wrecker. What do you think? Is this traditional approach too retro for our politically correct world?
