i saw this thread and was really hoping it was about grilling, drinking, and playing cornhole in a parking lot. What a disappointment.
I was assuming that it had something to do with dampers. I am also disappointed.

Just the other day, I had a Camaro so close I couldn't see his grill, nor most of the hood. I was doing 40 in a 35. He was doing the weaving and speed/slow like he wanted to pass (which he could have done). Thought about getting a new Ranger that day.

I hate tail gators especially when I can't see anything in my rear view mirror except the top of there vehicle. So I will give them the break check. Tap the break a few times to see if they back off. Usually they do.

Try doing that with the emergency brake instead of the brake pedal. That is always fun. :crazy:

With the rake of the truck, it doesn't appear to me to be that bad. At least we can see the top of the grill and lights.

The closer they get, the slower I go. Eventually, they get the message. Emergency flashers help, too.
Yep. And if you honk at me if I pull out in front of you while you were driving too fast, then I'm slowing down so we both miss the next light. F you. Don't honk at me.



I hate tailgaters almost as much as people that
...drive slow in front of me! :)

Yeah, the ones that have their head down looking at their phone and don't see the light change to green. Some would never move without being honked at.
