    You do understand that there are missiles with different amounts of explosives, right?

    So you truly don't respect the fact you're operating a vehicle that can literally slaughter multiple people in multiple vehicles if hit head on at full speed right?

    Don't forget that a "bunker buster bomb" is different than a missile. Even if it were a LGB it is NOT a missile. Bombs are non-powered, missiles tend to have rocket motors in them. Even "smart" bombs are not missiles. They are in fact lobbed from a distance, some can be just dropped at a specific time, distance, altitude. Missiles can be launched from OTH.

    Just my $.02.

    Truck stops are all full of hookers and pan handlers...

    Seen one hooker in 2.5 months and the only pan handler I have seen was at a Walmart. Other than one guy offering to polish chrome..

    Maybe I need a list of the hooker lots..

    OK there where some people hanging at the Pilot in Gary, IN that gave me the cripes.

    One thing I know ts are full of is BS and not from the bull haulers

    Oh COME ON!!! Seriously? Are you one of the idiots who want to hang a high school kid because he threw a pencil because it was "A missile"?

    You drive a truck, that's it. Stop trying to make it more than what it is. I can kill you with a soup spoon, does it make the spoon a "dangerous weapon when not handled properly"? :biggrin_2559:

    It's so funny when people blow things completely out of proportion. It's a truck, not a missile. Just like it's a spoon not "a metallic weapon of destruction." I've never once seen a truck hanging from the wing of a plane.
