    In 91 I drove my cabover through a McDonald's in Texas. It was funny the girl just smiled as I opened my door to reach down and pay and grab my bag.
    Almost like it was a everyday occurrence.
    Lol

    I used a truck for a short while that had one of the hooks in place to help hold up the bumper. And of course I found it with my shin once or twice. I hated that truck.

    I thought it was illegal cause will act like a spear on someone's fuel tank.

    Wasn't my choice. Shop set it that way. Not sure why. No one ever said anything either and I rolled through a scale more than once with it.

    Not sure about that but I see a lot of trucks running around with the hooks on. Either they make a habit of needing a tug or are just too lazy to put them away after needing to use 'em.
