heheh Yup - I got flagged down all the time... lady comes up to me "can
you clear the alley behind my house co I can get out of my garage I'll
give you $20 for it"
Another time this 2wd S-10 pulls me over as I am on my way back from a
job - spins this real elaborate lie - - something about a charity
function - I ended up plowing the sidewalk and driveways of a factory...
I got paid for it - but then they wanted to buy my truck LOL I said hell
no!

Yes that sure is a factor - you won't want to bang up your brand new
baby Dakota plowing thats for sure. I took out my drivers side mirror -
put a dent in the door. That incident where the guys in th S-10 were
spinning tales... is where I backed at a good speed - right into a lamp
post and took out my bumper and tail gate. Only the Hitch stopped the
bed from being ruined.
