Default Guess what???

I was going thru the gears, minding my own business and woooosh a 4x4 passes me, so i step on it, right behind the truck and splut....i found out what that airfoil under the front bumper is good for, cleaning up road kill. a big ole fat woodchuck humped up real nice (like a golf ball on a tee) the 4x4 cleared it but...well you know....I wonder if i could plow snow this winter? :U

I plowed snow with mine back in February, what an experience, top speed is only about 14 mph unless you like crashing!!

Mmmmmm, road kill.

Reminds me back in my Mopar days when I was doing the same thing in a 70 Cuda, drafting a big butt truck down the freeway when suddenly there appears this humongous lump of flesh on the road in front of me.

It was a dead German Shepherd. Twelve inches and 100 lbs of dead dog trying to fit under the front skidplate of a car only 4.5 inches off the roadway.

Needless to say I way picking bits of dog and hair out from under that Cuda for the next few days. Not fun at all!

You're lucky yours was only a groundhog. :lol:

bummer, i run way back when behind trucks fearing for rocks falling off.

got a nice big rock from one the other day in my work truck.
they sling rocks straight up into the air for a mile after they hit they highway :mad
