Texas is the second largest state in the United States after Alaska in area, with a vast land area of ​​approximately 700,000 square kilometers.

One of the inherent stereotypes Americans have about Texas is the symbol of a large rural area.

But don’t think that there are not many people in large rural areas. In fact, the total population of Texas is nearly 24 million, but it is sparsely populated because of its vast land.

And in recent years, Texas has been among the top three states in the United States with net population inflows.

This is due to the fact that compared to other regions, Texas has a good public security environment and living environment, and it is also one of the states with the highest happiness index in the United States.

Gulfstream G400 takes off from New York.

After a two-and-a-half-hour flight, we began to land at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is a civil airport jointly owned by Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. It is about 24 kilometers away from Dallas and about 29 kilometers away from Fort Worth.

This is the largest and busiest airport in Texas.

This airport has a total of five terminals, of which American Airlines occupies the majority of four.

This airport is in the United States itself and is also the first base for American Airlines, the world's largest airline.

As the third largest airline in the United States, Delta Air Lines also has a terminal here.

This is Terminal E where the Gulfstream G400 docks and lands.

Terminal E has thirty-six boarding gates.

Sixteen are cargo plane boarding gates, which are the boarding gates for air cargo.

Twenty left, boarding gate.

Service, one of the boarding gates.

Abel ignored the hints of the gorgeous flight attendant Katherine Jones.

The reason is fear of safety.

He left the airport through one of the VIP boarding gates with four bodyguards.

outside the airport,

Express Company has thoughtfully prepared vehicles and drivers for him.

This time Abel came home without notifying his parents.

No one came to pick him up.

From the airport back to our home on the farm in Tarrant County, we still have about sixty kilometers to go.

It also passes through the city of Fort Worth in the middle, because Fort Worth is the county seat of Tarrant County.

Such a long way,

Of course it's impossible to take a taxi.

What's more, compared to other regions, the taxi industry in Texas is not developed.

It's okay in big cities such as Dallas. Outside of those big cities, you can't find many taxis in Texas.

The nickname "big rural area" is not just blown away.

Express Company provided him with two Mercedes-Benz cars and two drivers.

Abel, the driver of the car, accepted it, but the driver was of no use to him.

He has four bodyguards who have been with him for half a year, and each of them is an excellent driver.

The only white person among them was a Fort Worth native.

Very familiar with local road conditions.

So he simply asked Edward, the white bodyguard, to be his driver.

George, the black bodyguard, and three of him were in a car.

The other two bodyguards, Lin and Deka, drove another car.

Two cars with five people set off and left the airport.

When I boarded the plane in New York, it was already 10:30 in the morning.

After a two-and-a-half-hour flight, it was already past one in the afternoon.

I had already eaten lunch on the plane, and it was quite good.

After all, it is a private jet.

So after getting in the car, Abel said directly to the bodyguard driver Edward:

"Let's go to Fort Worth first and buy some cars there. My father will make fun of me if I drive back here in a sedan."

He is also a native Texan and the son of a small farm owner.

Edward knew what the boss meant.

"clear."

Leaving behind the two American Express drivers, the two cars began to leave the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

Texas is a vast land with sparsely populated areas, and the roads and other facilities are very spacious.

The road conditions are also good, and there is almost no speed limit.

Therefore, Edward only drove for about 30 minutes before arriving in Fort Worth.

Although Tarrant County is small, Fort Worth, the county seat, is the 16th largest city in the United States.

Together with cities such as Dallas and Arlington, it forms the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States.

In its early days, Fort Worth became a busy commercial center with its livestock industry and later its oil industry.

Today's Fort Worth has developed into one of the best cities for living and business in Texas.

Fort Worth, known as the "Beginning of the West," is also the center of American cowboy culture.

In other words, this is the purest base of Texas red necks.

So the most driven vehicles in Fort Worth are not smooth sedans.

There are all kinds of pickup trucks everywhere, and there are people riding horses on the city's roads.

In the middle, Abel also saw several American policemen on horseback, which were very Texas-style mounted police.

Following the boss's orders, the city of Fort Worth.

Edward drove directly to the largest car dealership in the area.

This is the largest car dealer in Fort Worth and the largest pickup truck dealer in Tarrant County.

Park the car,

Go straight in and find yourself in the lively lobby.

Soon a blond saleswoman came out with a smile on her face.

"Hello, gentlemen. We have Ford, Chevrolet, GM, Dodge, Toyota and other brands of cars here. No matter which style you want, we can satisfy you here!!"

The blond saleswoman was very talkative and indeed had cars of these brands.

But actually....

It cannot be said that 100% of the models of these brands here are pickup trucks.

But at least 95% of them are pickup trucks.

As the fifth largest city in Texas, Fort Worth is not without luxury car or sports car sellers.

Larger farmers and oil businessmen want to buy sports cars and luxury cars easily.

But as a center of cowboys, the most popular ones are various pickup truck models and some SUVs.

Not to mention sports cars and luxury cars, Abel drove a lot and sat in them a lot in New York.

When I go back to my hometown, I’ll still drive the classic model from my hometown.

In my memory, what my old cowboy father drove the most was a blue Ford ninth-generation F150.

So he said directly: "I want to see the Ford F series, the latest model."

The blond saleswoman smiled sweetly and said: "No problem, please go this way. We have the latest tenth generation F series! All colors are available!"

She took Abel directly to the Ford pickup truck showroom.

As far as the eye can see, more than a dozen Ford pickup trucks of various colors are neatly placed.

There is the most basic model, the F150, which is also the number one selling car in Texas and even the United States.

There are also upgraded versions of the F150, the larger and more muscular looking F350.

Even the f550, which is more of a truck than a pickup truck, is available.

Have you ever seen a pickup truck with a length of more than eight meters, a height of more than three meters, a width of more than two meters, and a wheelbase of more than five meters?

f550 is.

The models are very complete.

It even has the larger F650, so it's not a waste of time to call this place the number one car dealer in Fort Worth.

Abel came here just because he didn't want to drive home in a car.

He directly said to the blond saleswoman: "I need two F350s, the ones with the highest configuration, one blue and one red."

Simple and direct, and at the same time, he still remembered that his father had always wanted this car.

But because it is relatively expensive, I have never bought it.
Chapter completed!
