  Heh heh heh! Absolutely!! :-)

  I've only hit the curb once in the Dak. One nice thing about the Dakota
is that with the high sidewall, usually the only thing that hits is the tire.
I hit the curb once (and once was all it took!!) in my VR-4. Scuffed up the
245/45 ZR17 tire, but worse, put a big gouge in the rim! ARGHHHH!!! =(

    I was a heck of a lot more careful about curbs after that. (Which
is probably why I still stay away from 'em, even in the Dak.) Still get
the heebie-jeebies when I'm paralell parking sometimes. :-)
