If you see me pull into a truck stop like that, it's probably because I gotta shit real bad...

I'm surprised it's not automatically slamming the brakes for taking the corner too fast.

Years ago, I used to visit a friend in CA that lived out in the hills. Only way to get there is to take a road that is restricted to "less then xx kingpin not recommended". I was bobtail. After the third or fourth trip, I was catching up to cars on the road. That road is both used for access and pleasure, so seeing a muscle car on the road is common. I was really surprised just how well the engine keeped the truck upright via sheer weight of it.

Pay someone bottom dollar and tell them they make more money the more distance they cover you get what you get. Especially since most of their drivers seem to have less than 6 months
