Sharks Teeth & Intimidation

Just from sheer size 18 wheelers can be very intimidating to others on the road. I wish truckers would stop adorning the front end of their

tractors with the BIG sharks teeth.

I think all the chrome and ornaments is either latent homosexuality or compensation for lack of endowment in the trousers.

Just like guys/gals trick out their cars some do it to their trucks, it is simply an expression of themselves. My mustang is "done" and I dont suffer any of the problems mentioned by earthbrown and I am sure 99.9% of the truckers who have flashy rigs dont either.

Making my girl all shiney and jazzed up makes me feel good, and when people comment on how nice she looks it makes me feel good to, cuz I know I did the work.......

I have been seeing these fangs forever it seems, usually on 379 Petes and Freightliner Classics, they can go on anything with a large grill with rounded corners. They remind me of the view of what Tweetybird sees when Sylvester is about to accomplish his goal in life of eating Tweetybird, watched too many cartoons as a kid.

It just shouts ignorance, like I'm a bad ###, or the people that wear no fear shirts or hav no fear stickers. Really, no fear? go spend a year or 2 in a third world country. I'll come visit and we'll see if you're still wearing that T shirt.
