No, nothing to do with athletes......

Is there some genetic predisposition that makes guys with wide wheelbase trucks drive like freakin' idiots?  And the worst are those towing even wider wheelbase trailers!

I nearly got taken down twice on my ride this evening by these idiots.  First guy had on-coming traffic and still decided to go past and came way too close for my liking.  Second guy (with landscaping trailer) had absolutely no traffic in the other direction; straight road; good visibilty and still decided to push me off the road.  I would estimate at least 60 mph in a 45 limit.   Luckily a grass shoulder, but I was pissed!

Sorry for the rant.   I feel a little better now.  Back to regularly scheduled programming.

I think is inversely proportional, the wider the wheelbase, the lower the IQ of the specimen behind the wheel.

sort of.  It's not the wide wheelbase trucks that cuse them to drive like idiots, it's the type of person that buys those trucks in the first place.

The ones with lift kits, well, that's a whole other level of genetic predisposition.

I think once we get to modified engines, lift kits, paintjobs and moose antlers from the bullbar we are definitely getting to the shallow side of the gene pool
