    Word of mouth. The guy who loaded me down there at one of our sites has a small lumber mill. He had to license his pickup through his father's farm to get around it is what he said. Could be true, could be bs. Given what DOT has been up to lately, I'm inclined to believe it.

    I agree! something about buying that fast depreciating status symbol makes the owner feel superior to everyone else. Maybe they pump something into the air in the BMW showrooms. :biggrin_25525: Escalades are the definition of bad taste meeting wretched excess.

    None of the cars I see impress me at all, except for an old muscle car, hotrod or exotic. The rest of them are generic mass produced commodities.

    I've had the total opposite with BMW owners. They've always seemed to be aware of thier surrondings and good drivers.

    maybe they don't tailgate when you are in a big rig, but they ride your ### in four wheelers, I don't even get a chance to get over, and no, I don't hold up traffic in the left lane either. The closer they ride me is proportional to how long it takes me to get over.

    As stated elsewhere, people that gravitate to expensive, status symbol vehicles seem to have a heightened sense of self importance.

    I've noticed the air horn remedy seldom has the desired effect. It usually scares them and they hit the brakes trying to figure out what that noise was because they are completely oblivious that there has been a giant truck behind them for the past 5 miles...

    what about people who drive rear wheel drive volvos?

    FYI thats a pretty distinctive car so if you see anyone driving it like a peckerhead, it's been stolen and you may call the police. :D I'm honestly trying to debate whether I should put a 9 foot whip on it or if it'll be ugly.. :(
