And your point is?

edit: Sorry, my bad, haven't followed the discussion in a while. Sorry

The point is that people shouldn't be categorically hatin' on pickup drivers.

I edited my post. Sorry, for the confusion. I should take a nap...

Only 3 issues here in central Florida.
1. 2 guys in a truck yelled at my running partner and myself to f*ck off while buzzing us.
2. Guy in diesel truck revved engine attempting to blow black smoke over me while running.
3. My running partner had gatorade knocked out of hand while we were running, old lady in small car.

66% guys in trucks.

I am the owner of a dodge 2500 diesel truck and I have to admit I have never buzzed anybody. Whoa, that feels good to get off my chest.

For me it's a blonde in a Mercedes convertible...pulls up along the side....flashes me a nipple....I hate that guy!

Agreed.

Every person who's shot at me (yes, it happened) or has tried to run me off the road has been in a pickup or a SUV. That however does not translate to every person in a pickup or SUV wanting to shoot at me or run me off the road. There are a small number who give the rest a bad name....kinda like cyclists.

So right after you get run over, you would shoot a truck?
With a .22?

That's funny.
Made my day.

True enough. Last time I had a flat w/out a spare on me, I got a ride back to my vehicle (a pickup, it must be noted) from another couple in a pickup... 'course it was a dinky old 2wd Datsun or Toyota, not a 'REAL' truck with the oversize lift+tires, gun rack, NRA/Confederate flag/Skin/Tapout (choose any 2) decals, etc. ~ have had several of those dickheads flip me off for no reason other than looking like a cyclist, throw beer bottles at me, and so on.

Wow!

Hope he has a full recovery. Was he drafting? Cause if so, the RCMP may find some good leads on this forum ;-)

He was in the lead and about 20 minutes ahead of the closest group. It was that group that found him and called for help.

I hope they find who did this and are appropriately punished. Someone was lying in wait for the riders to come and get picked off in the dark. That area is a particularly bad one for bored rednecks with too much time and ammo on their hands.

I wish the rider a speedy recovery and return to work.
