    Trucks are meant to sit higher in the back end. You want it level... put something in it. ;)

    3/4 ton Dodge with a Cummins is what I plan on buying. Leveling kit + Ranch Hand front end replacement + airbags in the rear = always level (for the most part) :lol:

    I feel like I am missing out. I have yet to have anyone roll coal on the tactical prius. :(

    Put the Cummins in a Ford better truck to have it in than a Dodge.

    I'm a fan of the Cummins just not a real fan of Dodge trucks.

    My husband told me, once you realize you're stuck, stop spinning the wheels.

    Rolling coal is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I hope if I see someone do that, they instantly ruin their truck... Lol

    I've seen trucks doing that, but I never realized that it was being done on purpose. I just thought that their truck was a POS.

    Strictly childish behavior. They should grow up.

    Could be dangerous too if people can't see because of the fog.

    Same thing I was thinking. As they're blinding people going through the intersections, something bad's going to happen eventually.

    Four cylinder cars with huge exhaust pipes.

    Huge wheels on cheap cars with small disc or drum brakes.

    Huge wheels on cars in general. Brakes work terribly and they won't turn or handle worth a damn.

    people driving with their seats reclined. Thats got to make some interesting internal bleeding after a nice accident.

    One other thing that annoys the crap out of me, which isn't really a add on, but whenever somebody thinks they have a awesome vehicle and purposely takes up a couple parking spots. That's exactly the first place I look to park usually. Most of the time it's some POS vehicle in this area anyway that's got rims on it that cost more than the car itself.
