Has anybody ever rolled down both rear windows on their crew cab while cruising down the freeway. I did that today and wow! The truck vibrated like I was doing 70 mph down a washboard road. The front windows were still up so I am guessing that these hurricane force winds were hitting the rear of the cab and had nowhere else to go.

I am surprised the rear window didn't fly out, it was weird.

Most vehicles with 4 doors do that. Me and my friends call it the "Helicopter". We get going at a high rate of speed (70 or higher) and roll down the back windows, the buffeting gets so powerful you can feel it in your chest! And it sounds like we are riding in a helicopter.

The rear windows won't fly out...trust me.

I'm from a small town way down south in Louisiana, this is just one of many things we did to pass the time

Hey Dave...

I once worked in a small town in Texas... All the young good looking gals were running around town with two kids in the car. I ask a girl in the DQ what was the deal... And she said ... there's nothing else to do here except at night... Hummmmmmmmmm...

LOL! Yeah that definately is true of small towns. I know many girls with kids because there is nothing better to do on a friday or saturday night. You tend to get bored when the nearest movie theater, bowling alley, or anything else is 30-45 minutes away...and the nearest dark desolate spot is a 2 minute dirt road ride away.
