Hi,

Years ago I bought bought my first 'compact' pickup truck with a four 
cylinder engine. After I wore it out I bought another, similar compact 
truck. All those years little old ladies and kids on bicycles flipped me 
off as they passed me. Finally I bought a larger truck with a much 
larger V8 engine. Then the little old ladies and kids on bicycles 
flipped me off as they passed me. I *could* move much heavier loads:) I 
have driven far more than a million miles with no tickets or accidents. 
That has to count for something.
