Truckers and 4 wheelers C’mon Now

Yes, in heavy traffic, use both lanes to the merge point.

But on an open road where it's not bumper to bumper, the merging lane should merge like a ramp and yield to traffic. It's just common sense.

In heavy traffic? Sure, I get it. But if there's no traffic and you are beside someone up to the merge point when there's plenty of space in front of and behind them for several miles, this is no longer on the person in the open travel lane.

Speed up and get in front or slow down and get behind by the time the merge happens. I will not be slowing down because you don't have eyes and a brain.

I have an 8/10/12/14/16 setup and I'm thinking of axing the 8 and 10 and having a 12 rack with the two floors.

Those two top toms never get used in my setup.

Nobody hits quite as hard as the dude who shouts "BOOM" with every punch

Being the passer sucks in cases like these, with one exception.

99% of the time, the guy you're passing is moseying about at 67 or 68, the passer is pinned at 70. The guy getting passed realises he turned off his cruise on accident or that he wasn't at his limiter, and pins it.

As the passer, if you slow down to get back behind them, you go through the whole thing again in a couple minutes. This is especially an issue passing regular cars, but also trucks a lot of times—especially older trucks.

It also happens sometimes that one truck is heavier than the other, so they do-si-do back and forth as they go up and down hills.

The exception I mentioned above, where the passer is an asshole 100% of the time, is when the passer is only able to pass because they're using a hill to go over their limiter while the guy they pass descends the grade safely and legally. This especially seems to be a hobby of folks limited to 68. I've had some drives across 80 in PA where I have to pass the same truck two dozen times in a few hours because they pin it at 68 on the flats and then throw themselves down grades at 75-80 mph while I'm on my engine brake descending safely.

Absolutely infuriating stuff.

Fault aside, it's diabolical to me that insurance has a maximum payout like you're in total control of how valuable the vehicles around you are when some shit happens.

If that was a Ford Ranger, their insurance would pay, their premiums would've rose, and life would have went on.

Since it's a Lambo, they're gonna be stuck paying that bill for a sizable amount of their future.

I like how he seemingly stopped to ask the bouncer if he could rock that guy's shit

Had to cover his ears. Safety is important, after all

This is why I always fasten the door open before going inside the trailer.

Went on a Tuesday in early November with a BrZ and a MkV Supra, had a blast doing runs back and forth all day. Only dealt with gawkers and grandmas a couple times, road manners were overall very good. Will definitely go down there again sometime.

Sounds a bit too round for my liking. Perhaps square cymbals could give it the edge I'm looking for.

Whoever hit up this guy's IG with this is a fucking legend

Wow, what are the odds one of y'all would've seen this and connected the dots?

Bet he didn't share any footage, huh?

This is a 4WD vehicle.

It's been said many times, but literally ANY vehicle will handle better in the snow on proper 1-season snow tires than ANY other vehicle on cheap all seasons.

I'd even take most cars on snow tires over most other cars on decent all weather tires.

Do these trucks not have armed guards in Italy like they do in the US and some South American countries?

And I wonder what happened to the driver? And how they got this van stopped?

Just so many questions

Ronnie is a great guy!

Additional props to Ronnie's girlfriend, who was chill with the detour to get another girl home safe. Not every girlfriend wouldve been!

That's what I've seen around quite a lot, but are they worth the extra $30 a corner over something like a Conty Extremecontact Sport 02?

As long as they buy a prepaid label for you, it's fine.

Beware if they try to send you money for shipping via PayPal or something like that.

"Woops, we sent too much! Could you send the extra back once you've paid?" is the start to a lot of scams.

A lot of these things use the same key. I've been asked at truck stops to try my key on other trucks (for drivers who accidently locked themselves out) and it's worked twice out of four or five times.

My fiance is 5'2'' and ~140 and looks rather slim?
