One thing i have noticed about vehicles and there owners though, is usually the bigger the truck the smaller the driver most f250,f350s,armadas,etc… seem to be driven by guys who cant weigh more than 130 and they dont seem to be able keep the truck on there side of the road or within one parking spot.[/quote]

So you drive a smart car?[/quote]

a shitty ford escort and a ranger.[/quote]

I dont define myself by my vehicle, I just like the fact I have a better chance of survival driving in Houston traffic in my truck vs a smart car. :slight_smile:

I certainly didnt mean to imply that there is always a inverted relationship between driver and truck size, just that for some reason small guys seem to like big trucks for some reason.

People identifying(and identifying others with the vehicle that they drive) is certainly something that pisses me off, partly due to the fact when i drive my primary vehicle which is a zx2 escort(better gas mileage), i tend to deal with more assholes on the road (get break checked more,get cut off more, more general road/parking rage incidents which coupled with my shit temper has the distinct possibility to eventually get me in legal trouble, the most recent of which almost got my parking pass revoked at my university) while driving the escort which rarely happens in the ranger, which i theorize that people feel more confident with fucking with someone in a zx2 due to the fact that its kind of a grandma car.

No worries, just having a discussion. Pict of my truck. :slight_smile:

Here is something I can never figure out I have this huge truck and when I go into parking lots I always park away from people. No matter what I always get some ass wipe that will park right next to me. I have been in empty parking lots and some one will park right next to me when there are 10 slots open every where else.

What kind of mentality is that?

Same as on the beach. You want to find a relatively isolated spot to relax on, and not long after some dope sets up camp right next to you. There’s literally thousands of square footage of beach and he wants to set his noisy brood of kids right next to you.

Same as in a ‘seat yourself’ eatery.

Humans are so damn needy, even being in close proximity to you brings on a certain contentment I imagine has to do with early survival mechanisms.

Wow good pick up ID, see I am naturally the opposite, I have to make myself engage in a crowd. I have always tended to be the loner type, not by conscious choice it just always goes that way. That is why I love my wife, she makes me be more sociable and not be isolated.

Would you settle for a philosoraptor?

People will fuck with you no matter what when they’re in the car (kinda like internet tough guy - extra polite in person but a badass behind the saftey glass). I get people wanting to cut me off or beat me at the stop light when I drive my vette.

This is very true, I drive a 75,000 pound Kenworth dump truck & I’ve had morons give me brake checks because ther rage’n over traffic or whatever, its a good way to get a load of rock shoved up your gas hole, but they still do it.
