"Tail Pipe Junkies" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My youngest son (soon to be 29) used this phrase the other day, and it cracked me up. I've had several occasions where someone in my family was following me to get somewhere, and they have noticed that people follow as closely as 10 feet behind my truck, even when going 65 MPH in the #3 lane. Do our trucks emit some kind of special odor like a cat in heat that makes people follow so closely? I always thought that the Cheech and Chong routine about sniffing tailpipes was a joke. I don't care if people follow that closely. It's on them, if they hit the truck, and I can assure you that a direct hit will hurt them a lot more than it will hurt me.

Thoughts?
