2 classic creatures - hopefully they don’t “go bump in the night.”

Or in the day.

Or anytime.

Seriously. All the "truck bros" around here are driving rigs jacked up so much that the fist thing their front bumper will hit might be the top of the Targa bar, if that.

Turn the 914 around and give yourself an even bigger scare... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Really-that would be just a ramp for one of these - especially the “high-rise” versions.

Park them side by side.....lessens the chance of an inadvertent crushing.

We need one of those oil field flag poles that stick up to about 8' so you can find your rig in the bushes

What scares the hell out of me is the off ramp barriers are taller than the 914. NO one can see the 914 until it reaches the end of the barrier. Several scary moments in the past. Almost need a sand rail antenna.

I parked in my friend's neighborhood the other day for a Graduation Party and came back to find some Truck Bro asshole had parked like this.

I knew a guy that got in a head on collision in a 914 with I think a truck or suv. He believed the 914 saved him because the truck just went over the top of him and used the 914 front end like a ramp.

Did his bumper completely clear the right tit? Lucky that the hitch receiver didn't line up with a tit...

Yeah, I hate it when some schmuck parks his or her 914 under the bumper of my truck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Not sure this is relevant, and it needs a caption, but I thought it somehow fit in here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I didn't notice evidence of a "touch" -- it was all a matter of millimeters. Notice too that the truck has a rear-view camera; it wasn't a mistake!
