sounds pretty sophisticated to me, they disabled the phone home thing and managed to get the tuck rolling, not to mention that they knew what was in the truck. could you do that? or are you not sophisticated enough?

Isn't part of The Fast and the Furious a scene where they go after some semis? But honestly, I don't remember much of the plot of that movie. I just remember Vin hanging off a semi truck.

d4nth3m4n: i'm saying it sounds like they took ideas from a movie(s) and have leaned how and what to target.

as for driving a big rig, yes i can. but what does that have to do with anything?

um, ??? i wasnt talking about driving the rig as much as overriding the safety crap on the rig and knowing which truck to pick and staking the thing out. thats the part i dont think i could pull off... actually driving the thing isnt that hard to figure out.

i dont think its safe to assume that this was inspired by the f.a.t.f, i highly doubt that this did not happen before that sad excuse for a movie.
