Tim:

        Don't laugh.  The Subdivisions and F250 pickups used as support
vehicles in open pit mines use similar orange flags so the big haulage
trucks don't smush them.

        I visited a mine in British Columbia that had a smushed F250 pickup
parked right in front of the Truck drivers changing rooms.  The haulage
operators had to walk past this 2' high, flattened truck twice a day.
Luckily in that case the inhabitants of the pickup bailed just before
smooshdom.

        Maybe if we park smooshed LBCs at malls across America.....  Nah....
