More cowbell!

The wife and I were driving home in my truck a few nights ago after stopping atan awesome Mexican restaurant, when I heard afew of the sounds that are listed:

First there a RUMBLE noise on my side of the truck and then a few seconds later there a loud GROANING noise on the passenger side.

Oh, I almost forgot the GROWLING sound I heard from her side until the ROAR of the open window took over. [sm=lol.gif]
