one bad day
I just saw a little accident that confirms my thoughts on letting stupid people drive trucks. I was in the parking lot of Fleet Farm and watched an older man trying to get his newer model f150 out of his parking space which was difficult for him. When he had finnally succeeded in getting out of his spot i drove by and parked and as i was walking into the store i saw the same man picking up the stop sign (that is mounted on a tire) that he had ran over needless to say i thought this was rather funny. But as I got to the other side of his truck he started to back away and I noticed that all of the oil in his oil pan was now on the ground. So I tried to stop him by doing everything i could except jumping in front of his truck to make him stop but he did not ( i suppose he was embarrassed) but his wife did see me and i saw her say "we know" but unless she is as stupid as her husband she obviously did not know the damage that had been caused or they would have stopped. So as my exsample show stupid people should not be alowed to drive nice trucks.

But cash talks at dealerships not IQ. Problem is with the licensing agency or family members that don't "help" their loved ones. Most older people hate becoming dependent and don't realize the danger of failing sight because it occurs over time. I've had them back over my parked car at shopping center before and as I came OUT of the store I was asked if anybody got hurt. Then they calmly drove away as if nothing happened before I could explain nobody was hurt because nobody was in the car.

Wish there was but I was only 16 then ('81) in a '68 Lemans I gave $600 for and had already bought paint and bondo anyway. $100 for the paint and another $100 for the body work/paint job and my car was to new ($600 worth) just a different color.
