DOOOOOOOOOH! This is exactly the reason I took my truck 4 wheelin' the
day after I got it! (9 April 97). I spilled coffee on the floor mat.
At least _*I*_ got the first dings! I know it sounds silly, but now
when my fiancee puts her feet on the passenger airbag, I count to 10 and
say to myself, it is a truck.
I feel for you. Morons are everywhere. They don't only come in the
'punk kid modification' though. Keep an eye out for the "Mother tending
baby in back" mod too.
While driving down the local highway (Rt 495 for those near Boston MA)
some moron (he hadn't even taken his jeep out of the crate, still had
wood on the side) decided he wanted to take up 2 lanes. Mine and his.
The horn worked nicely.
Remember, the horn is there, USE IT OFTEN! My fiancee freaks out when I
use mine, "you'll piss them off and they'll shoot us" (way too much TV).
Thank you, but i'd rather honk and take the chance than have some
oblivious driver smash my baby.
Sorry if it sounds like I'm ragging on ya. Don't mean too, once I get
on my soapbox I just get going (said as I'm shaking a carriage bolt at
my audience ;)

I've had 12 hours to calm down, and I'd still like to find a certain
teenage driver... And it's probably better that I can't. Why? I was
driving to work this morning, down the two-lane I live on... I look at
the on-coming car, and A) He's coming at me, and B) he's NOT paying
attention to the fact that he's swerving left of center. Well, not
wanting to start my day with a head-on, move over onto the berm, and
slow down, and the idiot keeps coming! I ended up cliping a mailbox
with my driver's side mirror, and in the process of it's detonation, it
put several nice scratches down the side of my truck. After regrouping
myself and coming safely to a stop, I realize, the little punk never
even stopped. Then the police don't wanna bother with a report because
I didn't get a plate and he didn't actually *HIT* me.
I could go on, needless to say, I'm PO'd about it all. The scratches
look like they'll only take some rubing out to clean up, I'll probably
have to get a mirror from the dealer. Anyone got a spare, passanger
side, basic black, non-power mirror laying around for a 97+?
*sigh*
