    That will be quite enough innuendo here. Thank you.

    Why would you put a triangle in front when your on a one way road? You might need to re read that section

    Why does it seem OP is in his feelings?

    You really see the need to battle back and forth with strangers tossing light jabs your way? What do you have to prove?

    say again?

    I don't feel the need, im just explaining my stance and why i did what i did. Why do you feel the need to ask why i feel the need to? Because it's my thread, because i want to, because i tend to have a mouth and quick wit that gets me in trouble....take your pick

    Just an observation, you seemed agigiated and quick to hop on the defensive over troll attempts. Carry on...

    I didn't read all the postings so this may have already been said. If you are having problems with blow outs there is a good chance it has to do with eating to much dairy.

    Had it happen to me a couple weeks ago sounded like a shotgun went off in the truck! At first I thought on of my straps busted and I was losing my load until I saw the recap in my Mirror flying down the highway.
