    So had this stupid ricer riding beside and kept my eye on him cause I always do when it's a 70 or higher and someone rides right beside my 65 truck. Just keep seeing him looking under trailer and looking, finally he swings wide left then yanks it hard right but guessed he won't make it and goes hard left does a nice 360 gains control and Flys by flipping me off. Wtf. I really wish my camera caught it on fender mirrors but it didn't.

    Just to edit he wouldn't even make it under rub rail

    Whenever it's a 70 or higher I always get cautious and nosey as to why they will hang around a 65 mph truck for miles on end then 90% of the time they'll fly by after 15 20 minutes like they didn't know what was going on or something.

    I figured you were going to say you were in SoCal, they are as dumb and impatient as they come here. I would fully expect one of those ricer tards to try that here. I guess none of those F&F fans noticed that the trailer was heavily modified in the movie..

    What would have been funnier is if you had side skirts and he still tried to do it lol. P.S. I think one of the few cars that could fit would be a Mazda Miata.

    My old MG Midget could have done it.
    Possibly the Fiat X1-9.

    I never tried to cut over 2 lanes under a truck with either, but I often thought that I could.
    If I really needed to... if the occasion ever warranted such a move.

    Such thoughts come when one is driving by a truck on a long drive, when one is thinking 'what if I ..., I could just slip in and...'
    Even with the roll bar my Midget could have done it.
    I should have tried it, just for the fun of it.

    Aw, HECK!!! Now I'm going to have to get me another Midget just to try it before I die of old age!
    Thanks.

    I guess it'll have to be with a Swift truck. Midgets don't go much faster than us.
