I gotta vent...
Just before I left on vacation, I went to a Brooks & Dunn concert here in Dallas. When it came time to leave, everyone is trying to get out of the parking lot. If you have ever been to a concert here in Dallas at Starplex, you know getting out of the lot is not easy. As all the cars and trucks are trying to funnel out of only a few lot exits, several 4 bys start going up to medians separating the lot from the street, jumping the curbs, and going across the grass only to cut someone off as they flew out onto the street. You know, my Jimmy with its lift and oversized tires can do that with the best of them, but that's just not cool. Off-roading should be reserved for off-road sites or out-of-the-way places, not across grass medians in the city. And sometimes people wonder why 4x4s have such a reputation.
Of course, the funny thing to me is that almost all of the vehicles doing it were Grand Cherokees or Toyota pickups. That is probably the most off-raoding those "trucks" have ever seen! And there was a Ford or two that followed suit. But, I guess since they own a Ford, they have a good claim for temporary insanity!
Just my .02...
