I'll bet some baseball-loving hoon steals the damn truck and runs it around the outfield tearing up the sod. I'd pay to see that.

@Maxximtl:

Does it do the same loaded? I imagine the dynamics change a lot.

Silly tuned test anyway of an unloaded truck going too fast for road conditions.

I had worked at company in the Northeast USA where one of the guys had won a NY Mets Nissan pickup by a drawing of seat numbers at the stadium. I think he had to keep the Mets logo and car dealership name on the truck for a couple of years. That was easy as, by the time I saw the truck, the paint and decals were faded badly, it had started rusting out, and needed a sever interior clean out...

And that the tundra has a non-rigid mounted bed to reduce NVH. Drive next to a tundra on the highway sometime....the bed wiggles and giggles like a bowl full of jelly.

@westfieldind:

All that shows is the trucks have different resonant frequencies.

Who would want an ugly truck with piles of pigeon crap on it? Oh and I have to pay the taxes on truck? pass

@pjsammy: Maybe the Progressive folks could give away one of the hail damaged ones and skip the middle man. Or they could give away the one in this You Tube video:

Maybe they could just take it to some girls high school softball games and park it in some choice spot. That's how I've seen most cars earn their ball game dents.

Same thing going on at Jacob's Field in Cleveland (sorry...now Progressive Field)

mark mcguire hit the longest home run in cleveland back in the all star game held here (1998?). It was nowhere close to where the truck is chilling. Of course, it does happened to be situated RIGHT as you walk out of one of the parking decks. You can't even see the field around the thing!

See, kids? Stay in school, learn algebra and geometry, and don't go out hooning around in the expensive sports cars your parents bought you (I'm looking at you in Florda. A little better math scores, and you might not have hit the tree!)
Leave the automotive fun for those of us who managed to survive being young, stupid, and irresponsible (and learned how to do our sums with pencil and paper).

You know you can just crosspost from other Gawker sites, right?

Oh right...pageviews, SEO, et al. Sorry, Ray.

Schm is not particularly sure what he is ranting about. . . — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:57:14 EDT

The Royals have indeed a similar thing, although the Royals have a Dodge Ram perched on a pole, and a Durango in the outfield. If a Royal hits the Durango, someone wins a Dodge (although im not sure why anyone would want one, minus Viper).

Royals= Teh Suckz
