Re: you might drive a squarebody when

you might drive a square body. When sitting still if you turn the steering wheel the front bumper moves back & forth. My wife would crank on the steering wheel of a 77 GMC when it was sitting still. Broke the frame into. I welded it and it broke again. Welded it again and removed the power steering sector and replaced it with std steering never broke again. you might drive a square body if you gas guage is a 5 gallon can of fuel in the bed.

I don't know why that is.

I might be scared of mine too... but I know why. I've snapped at least a dozen of the plastic hinges off of brand new wipers, broken old ones into shards of skin splitting shanks taking them off, and watched several Autozone employees do the same. I've split my thumb open several times and taken 3/4 of my index fingernail off once.

You might drive a square body when you let the Autozone guy replace your wipers because you want him to be responsible for having to go pull another new one (or more) off of the shelf when it breaks during installation.

You guys having issues with slamming doors REALLY need to search the PEX tubing fix. My doors shut better than new!

If the looks you receive while driving it range from disgusted to awe inspired trances.

Well, that's only because you didn't wait for it to stop floating around from 1/4 to empty at every stop sign..
