[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1370225, member: 52978"] I was coming back from a center load one night about 2am and I was in a not so good part of town. I caught a red light under a freeway overpass where I was turning left. I had my window rolled down. Out of nowhere a guy jumped up on my fuel tank, hanging onto my mirror and standing on one of my steps. It scared the %&#@ out of me. He had been hiding behind one of the big concrete pillars. Luckily, he didn't point a gun at me, but just wanted some money to repair his car because it "needed a fuel pump and he was trying to get back home." By now, I'm rolling with the guy still hanging on my mirror bracket. I said not only was I not going to give him any money, but he needed to get off my tractor while the getting was good. The look in his eye was priceless when he realized I was speeding up, let alone stopping to let him off. About 3rd gear he jumped off. Luckily for him I was in the left hand lane of the feeder, and he had grass to land on. I kept my window rolled up in that stretch from then on. I figured if he *did* have a gun, he couldn't reach for it if he was hanging on for dear life. [/QUOTE]
