    I don't know if it's a Texas rock bucket thing around here but but a LED amber flashing light bar behind the windshield.



    That way everyone knows how cool you are.

    I see a bunch of container haulers and reefers running those up and down 77 and 59. So it's not a rock bucket thing but it might be a Texas thing or an RGV thing.

    You can park in the turning lane to do a 10 hour break if you leave your lights on bright and flashers on.

    I might be a bit different… it seems to me that not all but some 4 wheelers can be floated, (cobalt, civic and old Ford/chev pickups, oddly not rangers) it takes way more precise throttle control in rev happy little cars than in old pickups. It can be done without killing a transmission. Just be gentle, feel before you hear, hold it next to the hole and it can pull itself into gear.

    I sometimes wonder why no one suggested when worrying about their cdl test to buy a beater and practice with no pressure or if you like your car try it. Transmissions are cheap.

    (I believe this advice but it’s unlikely that anyone else will, so I’ll put it in here).
