    Your momma said you have your daddy's nose.

    She just isn't saying who it is.

    I personally prefer driving at night. Feel like i'm more awake and alert plus less traffic to deal with and most of the fuel island campers are sound asleep. However I observe way more questionable and erratic driving from the trucks I do see out at night. Don't know if it's just tired drivers or nightfall bringing out the real heroes with absolutely no regards for anything or what. Usually also the guys with 1000 marker lights and 370 of them not working, hi-beams always and those back of cab lights wide open for good measure.

    Drag racing is my biggest pet peeve I always try to avoid. I'm set a 70 so it's not usually an issue but there's still always one i'll get 3/4's of the way passed and he'll blow back by me on a downhill run. At that point i'll just fall back and ride behind, not looking to hold up traffic and save 30 seconds on my trip.

    Oh and always locking the truck and keeping a spare on me at all times, cause I don't trust anyone including myself. :biggrin_25510:
