Haha I could only imagine! I lived in west LA for years, and rarely saw a big ole 7.3 or the likes. Too many rich folk rides.

I hear ya on that. Been on the other side more than a few times. When tempers flare it makes it way more difficult to act rationally for me.

Years ago we had a discussion on here about the Prius. I don't know if its true or not but it was said that the Prius leaves more of a 'footprint' on the atmosphere then most cars. Its because of the battery's being made in Canada and the mining of the lead etc. etc. IDK

Crowd funding would work here, maybe as a benefit to being an FTE member. Should be able to get group rate insurance too.

It's important to stay calm. Provocation is part of their modus operendi. Don't kid yourself though, these people will put you in a camp the first chance they get. Seen this movie before.

Liberalism is literally a mental disorder. If this ... creature .. got up in my grill, I'd have to rethink dad's admonition.

California has alot of diesels on the road I think where the 3rd highest state in diesel ownership. California's love to spend money and these new trucks cost 60k+ so there around every corner. I would say easily there are more diesel trucks here on the road compared to when I visit Michigan. People there are more practical, and have a hard time paying 60k.

But when the California's tell me my truck is loud and stinky. I lie and say it's because I'm doing my part and that's what bio diesel smells like when it's burned and this truck gets 30 mpgs. The look on there faces afterwards priceless. People are dumb.
