That goes for any major city. I hate driving through Kansas City or St Louis during rush hour. And Columbia, Mo isn't much better with all of the college students and foreigner that work at the numerous colleges or hospitals. Nothing against foreigners, other than they just aren't used to driving in the US which is normally different than their home countries.
I'm sure it varies widely, but compared to where I've been the US would be in the middle.

Once you get away from the congested cities they're all about the same.

Europe, the drivers and road courtesy seemed much better than here, especially in the cities.

South America, the lines on the road are a vague suggestion that everyone ignores and you get 5 lanes of traffic filling 2 lanes. Traffic is total anarchy.

That doesn't go for when you are driving a big green US military vehicle. I was stationed in Germany from Jan 92 to Dec 94 and went all over Europe. The Germans would purposely try to get into accidents with us to get money from Uncle Sam.

I'd rather have a rail gun in front during rush hour, but to each his own! :rockon:
Yeah, don’t disagree! A rail gun on 93 or 128 would be friggin epic.

Very nice guy and turns out he's the Southeast Rep for ARB.

I gave him this website so hopefully he'll be on here before too long.

Yep, it's called the "Lone Ranger" and they built it to showcase their products. Not sure if there are more than one built up that way (probably), but you are correct, the build is on their site. I used it for reference when ordering the BP-51 Suspension to match their wheel offset and tiresize to ensure fitment.

That is the truck that led to my truck looking like it does! I'm kinda jealous as that truck has a small celebrity status to me. And if I was there, I would have been hitting up the rep for an ARB decal for my truck!

The first pic I saw of it online...

I'd love to have some front protection where I could PIT others without sustaining any damage to my rig. Some people just have it coming. I think most have day dreamed about this at one point or another.
