they're a land mine or something. Come on, BE A MAN! It's a TRUCK

That drives me nuts.
I will pass those douchebags, on the speed bumps, in my minivan!

Yeah--that's one of mine too. But I sometimes when I'm considering
whether to do something or not (like make a u-turn across the median
when stuck in a traffic jam) have to remind myself "It's a JEEP
dammit, and that's what it's _for_.

On the other hand I remember a ride with Budget's worst
nightmare--this guy drove a Budget Lincoln like it was a dirt bike. He was
much more careful with his own Porsche.
