Every time I see someone on the shoulder I yell ā€œNobody let that fucker in!ā€. But someone always does.

When I was younger, and dumber. My ex-wife and I, before we were married, used to drive back and forth from where she was at Ball State to my place. This was mostly on a two lane highway, 69 actually. We would pass slow people together, back at this time it was a 70 mph highway that many people easily exceeded 90. I would pass on the right, in the breakdown lane, and she would pass on the left. Or when they were in the left lane we would both pass on the right with her in the right hand lane and me in the break down lane, sometimes with one of us in the far left breakdown lane if it was there. We’d also set up rolling roadblocks on annoying people,

No cell phones, so it’s not like we coordinated this or had any safety margins. We were both just young, dumb, and indestructible. I have no idea how we never wrecked. got arrested, or wrecked anyone else.

This is my confession and request for forgiveness…

I remember, as a newly-minted P-plater (can drive alone, must display a P plate and must have a blood alcohol content of zero) sitting in the fast lane at the speed limit and thinking I was doing the people behind me a favour by not letting them get fined. I was genuinely surprised when I got lots of angry gesticulations. :rofl:

You were in the turn left lane, indicating left.

I was in the turn right lane, indicating right.

You sir are a complete cockwomble for your manoeuvre that left you in front of me where you actually wanted to be, but facing backwards because you can’t control your Corsa for shit.

Full-size pickup trucks with an extended cab are big enough by themselves. Taking them into a parking garage might not be the best move. But from what I saw, either the power steering was not working or the driver, being an older person, might not have been making use of the full range of the steering wheel. Commence numerous tiny back-and-forth movements as the truck slowly makes its turn out of its parking spot.

I hate parking in parking garages. I try to just park on the top floor away from the door. Big trucks just aren’t meant to fiddle around in them.

27 point turn FTW!

Hence the limits I’ve placed on any new truck I get. 2 doors is good(I don’t like people. You guys are all imaginary so you’re fine) with a 6 foot bed.

Yeah, I got four doors because it’s the travel vehicle. The Ram 1500 is supposed to have the most passenger room per seat of any vehicle, it’s pretty roomy. But I did get the smaller bed.

It’s still yuge.

Good to hear! Althoguh my hearing is, I presume, imaginary.

I’ve had a similar discussion if I get rid of the Mini I’m currently driving. I’ve discussed getting another Jeep, and my wife wants the 4-door but I’m fine with 2.

I’m back and forth. I want a Jeep (learned to drive on an old Wily’s) but don’t want to give up having a truck. For just running around, a 2 door Jeep would be fine but then I think I could do a 4 door and buy a Scrambler body kit and turn it into a truck-like vehicle. Then there’s the actual Jeep truck coming soon and the new Ranger that I’m interested in seeing. So it all boils down to buying nothing and just waiting.

I want the new Bronco.

This is all LBJ’s fault. Him and his damn chicken tax.

I dunno. All the Mopar guys that ride in my F-150 SuperCrew have the same ā€œDamn, it’s big in hereā€ reaction.

Jebus a few raindrops hit the road and you all turn into blithering idiots who double my commute time.

Replace ā€œraindropsā€ with ā€œsnowflakesā€ and that’s me 4 months of the year.

I want Dodge to update the PowerWagon.

Remember Rick Simon’s?
