Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Yeah, but what a way to get out of it and back into a real truck....Thing went sideways as soon as she came off the ramp and onto the highway-sheer untreated ice. Crossed into oncoming traffic sideways. Good thing she didnt have a passenger, they likely would be dead. Ive got pics of the wrecked durango but cant fond them right now-likely on my work computer

 

I saw one of those last week on the road. Nice looking truck, bigger than I remember them being

 

OH YEAH!!!

 

After having them on my last 2 vehicles....its a good idea. Not for parking but more for safety. Especially being in a truck or SUV, you cant see what is right behind you-kid, dog, cat, etc. Regarding being forced to have them, almost all vehicles now have a screen on the dash so adding in a camera wont cost much.

I dont use it to back up...mirrors and turning your head cant be beat. But for a quick check on what's directly behind you-invaluable.

 

Well said G

 

I also like that they allow to you to tell exactly how close you are to the thing that is behind. My wife has hit a dumpster or two by misjudging

 

In 2010 when I bough the 2009 Honda Ridgeline, I looked for 6 months on Chevy Silverado and Avalanche. 4-5 year old trucks with over 50K miles were still $30,000 and up

 

I would have backed over my lawnmower once without it

 

The safety aspect is most important for me. The cat....not so much.......

 

Let me guess, she said it really wasn't her fault though?

 

Main reason I said that was because there is a guy in the park here that is feeding feral cats....there has to be 20 of them hanging/peeing/crapping everywhere and are becoming a real issue. If I happen to back over one, I'd be doing everyone a favor. Didn't say I don't like cats, but I AM highly allergic, and they're just too aloof compared to a dog. Just my 2 cents.

 

Hell no that F'n thing ran into her

 

it's never their fault!!! Marriage 101

 

That and Beer has been working for me since 1979 well maybe some of this too in the early years

 

KC says, "bite your tongue Pete."

 

Feral cats are a royal PITA. Had one around here years ago that was luckily caught after it moved into a neighbors basement. One of my cats got int a few scuffles with it and if I had a gun anywhere near me, it would have been history on one instance.

Far as being better than dogs, not really- just different and no they are not for everyone. I have both dog and cats here and they get along-one cat is compleltely cool with the dog, the other "tolerates" the dog. And yes, you can train a cat....to a point.

 

My son just called driving home tonight , be here in the morning , gets to spend about 10 days with us before he ships out to his next duty station in Vilseck Germany for the next 3 years
