Default Another driving pet peave

I was driving around yesterday and happened to stop next to a truck that has the tailpipe on the side. The tailpipe was just a few inches from my head and boy, were the exhaust fumes just nasty.

Why can't they just make those trucks with the exhaust facing the rear.

I think all trucks that use diesel should have a their "tail" pipes mounted like smoke stacks. I mean, that's what they are.

Just push your recirculate button, that usually helps.

a pet peeve of mine is when your sitting at a stoplight and someone in the another car next to you spits out their window....annoying.
