    I think if he rammed his car into an 18 wheeler, he would be stuck under the bumper of the trailer. No way is a 3500 pound car going to move an 80,000 pound vehicle.

    It will if it hits you right in the drive axles. There's video of that floating around, ###### if I can find it now though.

    Not true, an idiot "4-wheeler" speeding on the TappanZee last year "clipped" the rear of a slower moving semi. The (semi) driver lost control turned over onto the median barrier, killing the driver.
    I posted here in this forum, just minutes after the accident.

    I would like to see the video. There are 8 large tires, and up to 34 ,000 pounds on the drives. I guess anything can happen, however unlikely. I am sure there has been a time or two when a tractor-trailer has run head on into a pickup truck, and the driver of the pickup lived and the driver of the semi died.

    I saw a movie where some idiot in a mustang got crushed by a truck.

    I like that scene almost as much as the scene where the truck driver shoots a hole in the stupid theif >.>

    I am going to have to go with pickup since the other people he hit were not hurt.
