Default did i build a hwy patrol vehical???

i'm starting to think i did, the dak's been getting some miles lately, since the ram is down waiting on a chp sign off... i have always kind of noticed some strange things but never paid too much attention to it before,

when i follow some one or come up behind them quickly, people slam on the breaks, and slow down to speed limit or less, alot of people wont pass me in 4 lane traffic when there is plenty of room, one guy a coulpe days ago came hauling *** from behind me on the hwy (4 lane), went to pass and as soon as he got beside me, slamed on the breaks, slowed down and pulled in behind me about an 1/8 mile back????

and its an every day thing, gets a bit frustrating at times, but i think with the black wheels/chrome centers, and the bumper setups, along with the black truck and the adbundance of antennas, people are getting confused

It's great when drivers get out of your way, but not when they slow down in front of you on a single lane road. I certainly wouldn't think of a Dakota as an unmarked unit, but I guess some people do. Pretty funny...

The front of your truck does look like it could be some swat team unit.

My home town owns 3 Dakotas, but they are used as community service vehicles, but still have all the lights and what not

I was watching cops and they were in florida, and their vehical was a white and black quad cab ram. Im not sure how I would react to you truck, dodgetrucker. I might have to slow down a bit so I can clean out my pants from blowing a load in them after seeing that thing come up in my rear view.

Cops is awesome. I love some of the stupidity.

Have you seen Speeders? I love that show ... along with Parking Wars.
