[QUOTE="verytalonted, post: 210783, member: 546"] My dad first brought this phenomenon to my attention. He called it the “Triple D” rule. (D*ckheads Drive Dodge) The fact that you are in a Raptor is only adding to this rule. My dad told me about the Triple D rule, and I kinda shrugged it off. But then he told me that I should keep a mental tally on the make of all vehicles that ‘wrong’ me or others on the public roads (cut people off, blow by people doing the lowered construction speed limit, wait until the last possible second to switch out of the closing lane, etc.) I have to say I was skeptic at first but started to notice a spike in Dodges doing ‘*******’ things to me in my old 03 F150 SCrew FX4 or other motorists (Ram Trucks more than others followed closely by new Tundras). I reported my findings to my old man. When my best friend told me he had bought a truck, I guessed a Dodge (judging only by my friend’s *******-ness). He wondered who had told me, I told him it was just a guess. When I was at our local Rodeo one year I saw a Ram 3500 dually backed in and parked with the other eighteen-wheelers, like he thought he belonged in that part of the parking lot. I chuckled and shook me head. I started to wonder why it seemed ‘over-testosteroned’ people seemed to be drawn to Dodge Rams. I started to pay closer attention to the advertising that Dodge was putting out there. Notice in the Dodge truck commercials (and the Toyota Tundra ones too) there is a raspy ‘man’s man’ kinda voice telling consumers how much tougher they would be if they too owned and drive a ‘man’s man’ kinda truck. Notice how they use words like bigger, guts, glory; notice the focus on the wild west theme; they seem to attract the ‘small horn’ males with badging like ‘Longhorn’ or ‘Big Horn’ on the trucks; notice the whole ‘That thing got a Hemi’ marketing, which inspires ideas that they too could have a ‘muscle car’ motor in their truck ; notice the ‘big rig’ styling with the hood coming up higher than the fenders. It is not accidental. Once I got my Raptor (or an ambassador for Ford and their pinnacle of truck engineering) the ‘small horns’ took not. My truck is bigger, badder, better engineered, and more visually louder and masculine then theirs’. They don’t like that. My Raptor challenges them with its sheer presence. They hate that. And there is nothing they can do. Just my $0.02… [/QUOTE]
