haha, they said "rice rocket"
There are plenty of other dangerous vehicles out there that are in far greater quantities than lifted trucks. I guess "lifted vehicles are the single most dangerous vehicle involved in fatal highway crashes" means that IF a lifted vehicle is involved, chances are it's that particular flying hunk of metal that will kill you. I'm not denying that a lifted truck is less safe, but that's a crappy use of the statistics there.

I wonder what the statistics are on fatal crashes involving "rice rockets" are. I have seen way more accidents involving those than trucks!

They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time it works every time.

well, i'm not going to roanoke anytime soon with my jeep.
I also think its funny how they think a lifted truck say going 50mph is more dangerous than a "rice rocket" going 120mph, that makes a lot of sense.
