yeah...
Some years ago, driving about the same place, near Macadamia Road.
Doing the speed limit on cruise control, hanging close to the right side white line. Steady as we go.
The 'lifted' pick-up nearly sucks me up its tail pipe on the way by going so fast that all I get to see is the bumper sticker, "Slow down! This ain't the Mainaland!"
...somehow, that still isn't as funny as I wish it was.
It was the same stretch of road where, a year or so later, a vehicle like that ran -- from the rear -- straight over a motorcyclist who was out for nice ride on a sunny day. The truck was attempting to pass in the right lane after tailgating a larger vehicle.
