    forget the auto pilot.. i want the rockets that James Bond has so i can just blow ###'s clean off the road instead of risking total chaos.. or better yet a jump pack for the truck and trailer so when someone cuts me off i just hit a button and the truck and trailer leap into the air over them and lands infront of them.. like a 69 impala with hydro's!!!!

    I wish that was totally true but I believe that problem is the training at the schools.
