These folks could save a lot of time and money by just buying a welding hood and wearing it every time they get behind the wheel. Trust me, without a heliarc stinger lit up in your hand, you can't see a thing.

You're probably right with this modification, although I've never been in a vehicle like this to see for myself. I'm more upset with what the EPA seems to be doing lately. I tried ordering a set of headers for my new 2003 ZO6 from KOOK's and they wanted the VIN and me to sign a form saying I would never use this car on the road, so I ended going with another high end company. They're wasting so much tax money on such a small niche market when they really could and should focus on real issues that would be beneficial.

Reading this thread, two things come to mind:

1) Would make it easier to unload gravel

2) Reminds me of when one of my Marine buddies picked-up a fat girl at the E-Club. When they climbed in the back of another friend's S10 pick-up, it looked that.

Pretty sure most states already have laws against these.

They should. It looks stupid. I was wondering why I noticed some stupid trucks looking like that.

They do, but there doesn't seem to be much focus on them. If I wasn't so alert I'm sure I would have been in a few wrecks from these kind of people.

And I would vote for you twice

So now you're talking about adding one inherent danger on top of another potential danger, for the truck.

So no, demonstrably the two things are not in the same ballpark and he is not spot on. That's illogical and frankly silly.
