Or maybe it's easy to have a lower death rate when the truck stays broke down in the driveway more often than it's on the road.....[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

very interesting. i think the main reason for this is that our 4x4 are jacked up we just roll over the top of all the other vehicles saving us from injury!

Maybe it's just cause we're not choking on other trucks dust. We're in the lead.
