    Those mini coopers are sneaky little cars as well.

    I had one almost hit me the other day, I was turning into the truck entrance and fuel line of a pilot. This cooper comes charging the wrong way through a fuel line and turns to cross in front of me. I had to slam on the brakes. Thank goodness I'm a turtle and drive incredibly slow in the truck stops. He honked for me to back up. I wouldn't back up into the street for him, made him back up. Then he squished up next to me on the left while I was turning in. I had to stop again. He rolls down his window and waves his arms all around. I rolled down the window and said "is there a reason for this?" his answer "Oh I just wanted to say sorry and that I didn't see you". What? He couldn't see a freaking international prostar with a reefer hooked to it? I actually held my tongue and just said "okie dokie, now do you think you might back up so that I don't run my left wheels over the roof of your car?" He zipped back and bumped the back end of a bullhauler.


    When I went inside the bullhauler told me he considered telling the guy he'd damaged his trailer and caused trauma to the cattle. LOL

    [​IMG]However they're not as ugly as that smart car. I don't think clowns would even ride in it.

    I saw one of them at the local truck stop and was in the firetruck so I did not get a good look.


    But man it looked awful.

    It is beyond me how this thing is allowed on our roads. With all the "mandated safety" crap the government has hung on auto makers, how can they allow this thing? It just plain looks like a death trap to me. . .
     
    Texas-Nana Thanks this.
