Lines: 33 I gotta agree with number 4 (Jacked up pickups). The headlights are illegal in Illinois too (if not covered) but, most cops look the other way. What really bothers me is the fact that they are so high. Them bastards could roll right over a small car. I find that a lot of those idiots don't drive any better that I ice skate either. If one of those jerks hits me in my ride, I'm gonna try to get them charged with attempted murder. A vehicle's bumpers are supposed to match up with other bumpers and not miss by a goodly distance. Even semi truck bumpers come closer to matching up with car bumpers than these fool pickups do. The problem seems to be that the law really can't touch the owners if the vehicle came from the factory that way (jacked up). It really pisses me off when the owner puts in his own 13" lift kit. I think the reason more of these "rock hoppers" aren't involved in more accidents is the fact that the driver can see over cars in front of them. But, just try to see over the "rock hopper" if you are driving a normal vehicle. Really tickles me though, when the jerks get those wrecks stuck clear to the axles. The question I have about the headlights is: Why bother with 4wheel drive around here? I figure, they should just turn on them lights and melt the snow out of the way(8-). That "Frye in the ointment" again. Tom Frye, that is.
