> I must have a low self esteem because if I had the money I would have a long and tall pete with a texas bumper, drop visor, and tons of chicken lights. Not to mention the POW/MIA mudflaps on the back. My cb handle(batman) under the driver's side window. My wife's name (Robyn) under the passenger side window. All kinds of chrome gauge and switch covers on the dash.Yawn......................

but for the most part right on this is what needed to be said.

Ok got to go finish polishing my Chrome.oh I forgot one, how about a neon lit gear shift handle.no never mind that might mean I have a small twig
or might mean I have a inferiority complex.I know remember years ago we use to buy C.B. antennas that lit up or buy small florecent bulbs and put them on our antennas when you keyed the mic they would light up?
thats what I'll do.No better not do that it might mean I'm just wanting someone to notice me.

hey guess what we did last night we turned in our yuppy expedite truck
and got us a real driving job.California here we come. Every week.Fl.-CA. back to Fl.-CA. back to FL.back to Ca.

ever feel like a yo yo? MAN I FEEL GOOD.st. pete fl. to LA back to winter haven,fl.5080 miles every week.1 pick,1 drop,home after every round MAN it feels good to be back down here with the normal people

After reading all of this, I wish to direct this question to Broompilot: Exactly how much time did you spend at the local bar before you did this post???

I guess I'm responsible for turning Broom's thread in the direction it went. The exact line I used that contained the penis word, sorry again Charlotte, was...

Look in the glossary under low self esteem or small penis.

Now if your name or picture isn't listed under either of these words, everything is cool between you and Mommy, being passed by another truck doesn't bother you and you don't drive around with straight pipes and an engine brake all the time, well then relax.

My reply was went to be a shot at truck drivers that are compelled to announce their arrival with the Jake on and straight pipes blaring! Is this really necessary? I guess my reply struck a nerve. And yes this is one manifestation of a person with low self esteem and feelings of inadequacy. And yes one's perception of penis size can be a contributing factor and or a result of low self esteem and feelings of inadequacy. Just ask Dr. Freud. It is not just penis size but all physical attributes; height, body shape, weight, hair or lack of, etc. etc.

If you are not comfortable with who you are you may try to overcome these perceived inadequacies in other ways, like straight pipes.

As for the bull balls, nekid lady mudflaps,etc. I don't care for them. This is but another example of crudeness that has become the acceptable norm in todays society. It's the freakin' straight pipes combined with an engine brake in towns and truck stops while I'm trying to sleep that bothers me.

If these guys don't do this because of low self esteem and feelings of inadequacy then why? Are they just mean jerks trying to disturb others? Does their meanness stem from low self esteem? Do they have issues with Mommy? Or are they just morons that don't know any better.

YUPPIES: young urban professionals. I guess one of those 3 words applies to me, at least in my own mind. And it ain't the first two!

p.s. I have 8 chicken lights on my van.

I put 'google eyes' on my van - but I don't believe Freud had anything to say about whimsy, fortunately.
Those who are overreacting to the 'low self esteem' suggestion don't seem to get the difference between taking pride in your ride, & being an obnoxious showoff.

I only have two questions:

What is a "real" truck driver? I noticed this was mentioned a couple of times throughout this thread.

Could someone please explain this to me, please??

 

[60MPH]

who cares what anyone else thinks of your truck, if you like all the goodies then put them on, You pay for your truck not them. I don't give a "insert word" what someone thinks of my van, and why should anyone else care what people think of there truck,van or for whatever else they own for that fact.
personally, I don't like chrome--- I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tee-hee

I would also like "real truck driver" defined.

Taken at its literal meaning: one that drives a real truck.

So now we need a definition of a real truck. My criteria for defining a real truck are probably different than most people's. So my definition of a real truck would eliminate about 98% of the E.O. members which wouldn't be fair since I consider most E.O. members to be real truck drivers. Even you pesky little van drivers.

We have only been in a C unit for the last 6 months. Before we changed over we always wanted one of the Really nice loaded tt's.
Lots of Chrome, all the bells and whistles.
Now I don't care for the bull balls on my truck but I don't have
a problem with them on others. I always associated them with hauling
cows etc because that's where I saw them. I don't particulary
like the Teeth/fangs .. they are so stupid looking. I agree they
do give truckers a bad image especially when they are on your
butt.

I looked up low self esteem and this is what I found.
