    Gotta question about lights. Why do some people attach a round, red, pedestal light to the end of the front bumper pointing to the side? It is suprising to meet a truck like this in the dark, as it gives the appearance of an oncoming over dimension load. From the rear following a truck with these lights, it is very annoying as you see the bright red light projecting to the rear as though something has applied brakes in front of the truck every time it goes around a curve or it becomes visible from the rear. I am not sure what the funtion is if there is any, and in my state it is against the law to have any red light mounted anywhere except the rear of a vehicle, with exception of a school bus.

    Because, if applied properly, on the proper truck, and proper bumper, they are cool! Don’t try it on a Cascadia, it looks like whale po*op on the bottom of the ocean

    And such a display might result in some late evening drop ins for a little sugar or something. Advertising does generate business...

    One would think it might swell up and appear more appealing to the opposing team…..however that is a farse and a painful one at that. No i didn’t have it out….. nor did I leave the comfort of my climate controlled enviren to get stung on my donkey on purpose. Honestly it wasn’t my fault even. I went outside in my lounging attire which consists of knee length loose short pants of some kinda thin material. I was waiting on Doc to pee and handed my ol buddy Gus a frosty cold one. When he took his hat off and walked over to that meter box I knew smart people run and run fast….i also know that karma is a ##### but not I stayed to watch his ### get eat up by them m’fers. What really happened is they bypassed his ### and got me. Can you believe dat m’fer had the nerve to laugh cuz their I am trying to soothe my Johnson and 1 ### cheek doing that dance you know where you run in place really fast in a circle screamin like Aunt Jemima came to call…..
