TV Star Calls Big Trucks “Porn”. And Means It In A Good Way.
MAHONE BAY — You know Cathy Jones, the seductive and very funny star of “This Hour Has 22 Minutes?” She’s a trucker at heart.
She loves rigs. Like really.
“I feel like I have an inner three-year-old boy yelling ‘Truck! ‘Truck!’ every time I see a truck,” she told a writer for the Toronto Star Wheels section in a story that appeared Saturday.
In an hilarious story about her love/hate relationship with cars — “You know cars were unreliable and they didn’t start all the time so I grew up thinking, ‘If the car starts then we’ll go."
The capricious Newfoundlander says her love of tractor trailers means she’s never bored when she’s on the highway.
“It’s the esthetic of the trucks,” Jones, who lives in Mahone Bay, says, “If you look at the cabs of these 18-wheelers, I mean just to do it is porn. It’s like they’re shiny, they’re beautiful, they have everything that cars have lost.”
