That's for damned sure. Every morning I have the potential misfortune of passing a lifted Ford pickup (late sixties genre)coming from the opposite direction, on a country road. The lift was obviously done with the assistance of an inebriated brother in law and a one eyed cousin. At any rate, the thing comes bouncing down the road like a basketball on its enormous tires, and all I can think is "God, just let the 3rd member catch me square in the forehead, and I won't spend the kid's college money on my Land Rovers anymore". Unfortunately, a glance to the cab doesn't instill any confidence. Remember the character from Deliverance that uttered the line "squeal like a pig"? Well, the driver of this truck makes that guy look like an Ivy League recruiter.
