I completely agree with Kyle, safety on the streets is more important than
anything we do to our trucks. When things go wrong, this happens, I hope all
of us on the list remember this young man, and maybe pull back a little when
things get dicey, setting an example for other street spankers, that may not
think as clearly as we do.
