[QUOTE=twistrman;362904]yeah, the semi is breaking through the wind, and since they are so big, they will create a pocket on the side of them too. I think it would be safer to actually ride their a$$ instead of along side of them though. Wait until you're in his blind spot on his saide and he wants to change lanes... not a good situation

I know I dont hang there I just noticed as I was passing. Ive been on the side when one decided to change lanes in a caynon and about push me off the side thank goodness for brakes and wide shoulder.

OK, let's do the math...33mpg & $2/gallon = 6.06 cents/mile....41 mpg & $2/gallon = 4.88 cents/mile...SAVINGS = 1.18 cents/mile....COST to repaint front end of HHR = $800 +/-Originally Posted by Ratracer

SO, I only have to "follow the Ford" for 67,797 miles to break even!!!
I agree with the concept but it's more FUN to blow his "Superduty" butt in the weeds with my SS.
