    It’s a typical catch all comment to ensure no liability for the company.

    Btw guys, remember... always leave 50 feet in front and behind you, and never get next to another vehicle.

    What do you mean you were rear ended? Well that’s clearly your fault, should’ve left 50 feet as per policy.

    Safety is no accident. Lots of amateurs on the road these days.. You got a truck driver that doesn't even know how to put fkng snow chains on, that's a problem.

    Very very unlikely. Maybe rub marks on paint if you caught any. Cones are the markers in autox events and folks hit them all the time with more delicate vehicles than your Tacoma.

    But you do get a 2 second penalty. :p Unless you left it standing up.

    Someone needs to take a performance driving class. Or two.

    It will make you a better on road driver too.

    I would've loved to see someone without their swaybar do evasive maneuver. Outcome would dictate if I should keep my swaybar on or off.

    If already lifted and leveled it won't matter too much, as whatever handling was there is already compromised.

    Some offroad conditions are better bar off to allow more articulation. On road sways will handle better. Just make it easy to disconnect and have the best of both worlds.

    Nice try to both of you... I’m an astronaut and have 2 trillion accident free miles orbiting the earth in the ISS. And those are at 17,000mph.

    The bigger question is... of those you have taught, how many accident few miles do THEY have?
