Okay, I gotta ask ...

<prompted by looking at the "Member's Rides" section>

Whenever there's an event where everybody brings their 40/60/80, doesn't it attract a lot of attention especially if they're all parked together? I mean, it's gotta look like a classic offroad convention. Or, do people not really notice?

 

[John Smith]

Whenever we caravan to an event it always attracts a lot of attention. Sometimes unwanted attention.

 

[greytandy]

Sometimes unwanted attention.

As in cars with 360-degree lights on top?

 

[OTRAMM]

No I think i'm the only one in the caravan that attracts that kind of attention

If theres gonna be lots of cops around, you'd better drive Dave. I call shotgun!

We used to get about 30 trucks outside Hard Times in Herndon back in the James Asti days. No one really paid too much attention, now none of them were the radial 37" inch tired that Smith drives, maybe that's why. This would have been around 1995 and there would be maybe one FJ80, one FJ62, Two FJ60's - ALL the rest FJ40's...times have changed.

We did get pulled over by the cops up at Catamount Cruiser Challenge one year, he wrote some tickets for tires sticking out the fenders and blocked tail lights. There were like 40 trucks in a convoy on the way to a trail head. Mass state trooper.

Would that be the half truck?

Sure, I have lots of points left.

And here I thought it was the truckers that gave you problems.

 

[OTRAMM]

Yeah the truckers don't seem to like me much either. I don't know what the problem is but it can't be my driving.
