    Ridin up 35 near Natalia tx this afternoon with Cruze set at 58 when I get passed by a transport America oo and notice his right steer tire is about half flat ..omg !
    So I romped on the gas cause he wouldn't answer me on the radio and got along side of him and blew my horn motioning him to turn on his radio ..he motions back he doesent have one .
    So we hit the rest area together and I go back and explain my excitement ...he was very thankful.

    But, but....

    Why use "outdated and antiquated 20 century technology" when we have SMARTPHONES now?:rolleyes:

    Wow....:jerk:

    I always get a kick out of people who say that.

    Had a driver holler at me tonight on the pa turnpike saying my trailer lights were flickering. We was at mm12, so i figured i wait till the first ohio service plaza. He ended up pulling in behind me and helped me diagnose the issue to a chaffed wire in the harness behind the rear axle.

    Thanks be to that driver with mawson&mawson

    I also failed to mention the guy was an old hand and appeared to be about 70 .
    My guess is he is one of those that got tired of listening to all the vulgarity .

    Glad to hear that you flagged him down...these days many guys would have let him carry on hoping for dash cam footage to post on Youtube later.
