| The truckers call those big retread carcasses "gators". They are my biggest fear. Back in the late 80's, I bought a CB from the fleamarket and put it in my lifted K5 Blazer. I turned it on and started driving south through Georgia on 75. Trucker: Southbound, you got a full grown gator...about 9 feet long in the hammer lane at the 3XX yardstick. I thought, "Holy crap! I didnt know that there were alligators in northern Georgia" I went around a curve and suddenly saw a massive piece of tire tread stretched out over the entire left lane. I swerved to avoid it, but it got me. I had those nerf bars on the sides of the truck and the one on the passenger side was almost ripped right off. Truckers try to avoid the gators at all costs. Gators will rip the fuel lines off the tanks. Theyre my biggest fear in driving the Z on the interstate, especially at night. I hate recaps, especially in the summer. They should be outlawed.
