There is something to be said for driving a large beater in places like 
that. In the '90s I took a break from programming and drove OTR. I't 
amazing the people who would try to play chicken with a semi in their BMWs 
or Mercs. The best part was in the freeway construction zones that 
bottlenecked down to one lane and they would try to jump ahead. Truckers 
didn't even have to coordinate over the CB to block them completely and 
force them on the shoulder.
