Default Jeep vs Semi

Makes you wonder what the guy was thinking.


But that is a pretty narrow on ramp with a hundred feet or so to get up to speed, with no run off. The retaining wall is right on the highway.

unless that is a stretch of highway where the truck driver could not move over to facilitate a safe merge than that jeep driver is just a plain dickhead. if it is, than both were being dickheads.

either way, it's an expensive lesson. lucky no one was hurt.

Maybe he was trying to use all that horsepower our jeeps are known for to beat the truck to the end of the ramp.

Default It was a draw
I'm still impressed with how well the little Jeep faired against the bully of the highway. They are both sidelined as I see it.
