Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.6449 - Michelle AquilinoI hope Chip doesn't mind my putting portions of his email in this... I just wanted to add (to everyone), that there are situations like this all over the place... I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who got serious injuries or died simply because they were in a small "commuter" car, rather than truck, but that shouldn't and doesn't mean that everyone should drive trucks all over the place. The only thing you can EVER do is drive as safely and cautiously as the situation calls for. Things almost always would have turned out better if you were in something bigger, whether you're towing or just driving around town. In an accident, bigger is almost always better, but that doesn't mean you should drive the biggest thing you can find. I also want to verify that I am talking about accidents such as Chip mentioned (that's not your fault, and you couldn't avoid). I am most certainly not saying you should tow your horse trailer with your "commuter" car if you can't afford a truck, and simply drive it more safely and cautiously =P lol. Just trying to point out that idiot drivers are always out there, and I don't think that should mean that we should get the biggest tank we can find any more than I think we should all turn in our "commuter" cars for tanks as well. You should get what's safe, that you can afford, and (for me) of highest cost efficiency in general for the job it will be undertaking. I could go on and on, but that's the general idea of what I'm trying to say ;-)On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 8:20 AM, <Chipnml@xxxxxxx> wrote:
