(I had my turn signal on, but evidently he couldn't see it because he was probably beside me as I engaged it). The hubs on the Ton and a quarter rearend ATE his front wheel. His aluminum wheel was SHREDDED by the trucks axle hub. I have a one inch scratch in my paint. His insurance is paying out $400 for the damage to my vehicle's one inch paint loss. AND he had to put on one of those ridiculous looking donuts to limp his non-driving ass to retrieve a real replacement.

See that black rectangle on the hood of Monk's vehicle? Could it be covering the lower part of the swivel mechanism for a remote-controlled .30 cal mg? But, nah, that must be where the diesel horn would be installed. Whatever the case, looks like Loudoun has its own equivalent of the "Rat Patrol"!!! (Lovisa, don't tell me you are too young to remember the "Rat Patrol." That would truly be a hurtful jab!) Lovisa, you certainly do get to the crux of the matter sometime.

I think that you should have a grapple plate up front on hydraulics. That way, when you are at a light with a "slow mover" in front of you, you drop the plate over their bumper, wait for the light to change and "toot" the air horn. They tromp the gas and....voila!...instant road scrap! The air horn definitely gets their attention while soiling their britches! I think that you should have a grapple plate up front on hydraulics.

Which is why I must have a locomotive air horn and have begun the search already.

It's your expressions like "the monstrous presence of the vehicle" and "...air horn to help "them" see it" that bother me. You sound is if you feel you have to show off your might on the road. Another sign of wanting to show off is, of course, the color. What do you want for Christmas? A turret with a machine gun, per chance? That would really top it off, wouldn't it? You monstrous presence would be even more monstrous. It’s fun to have fun.

I toyed with the notion of painting it MC Olive Drab, and even camofluage..But, deep down, I like yellow. Since it's yellow, I also played with putting "Short Bus" on the rear in graphics. Since I'm in business, the latter was probably going to get me in hot water some day with a client, so I scratched that idea. You'd love the yellow double axle trailer that matches the truck, huh? With the incidence of people missing the bright color, as well as the monstrous presence of the vehicle, and pulling out in front of it anyway...I finally added a locomotive air horn to "help" them see it.
