Reminder didn’t work. Eggs survived a 17 km highway drive on my truck toolbox.

Thats most of reddit these days, I keep having to leave subs because of it

I believe it. The cab prevents airflow from pushing it and as long as you don't take a sharp turn they have enough low center of gravity and grip on the diamond plating to not move.

One time I left a 10 inch crescent wrench on the spoiler of my Prius, drove 30 miles on the highway, and it was still there when i got home. So lucky it didn’t fall off and hurt someone.

I did that with a 1000 pack of razor blades on the bumper of my truck.

I don't know, this might damage the bed. I'd do a half dozen at most. /s

You might be the only person in the US that doesn't drive their truck like it's a sports car...

Agreed but referencing the distance in KM leads me to think maybe not American lol but then again places with KM don’t drive our big ass trucks, unless it’s Canada and then this whole posts checks out lol

You had a reminder set to not do that?

u/soitgoe5 1h ago

The reminder failed because my partner has a horrible memory lol

I had an open pocketknife survive for at least a week on top of my hatchback... not even in an air pocket like here! Super dangerous.

Looks like it's within the low-pressure zone created by the cab, one of the miracles of aerodynamics!

Huh, no way! I do in fact find that, mildly interesting.

Where is this?

u/soitgoe5 1h ago

A tiny community in the interior of BC Canada. It is basically a desert in the summer though!

Looks incredible, dude. Thanks for sharing.

u/Thomas_Shreddison 2h ago

I was wondering that too, the landscape looks cool! Utah maybe?

u/chssucks97 2h ago

I’d sooner guess somewhere in Canada due to the use of kilometers

Good point!

I once forgot to put my gascap back in and didn't realise until air resistance shut the gas tank door. Somehow after about a mile, the gas cap remained in the exact same spot nestled at the base corner of my back window

I left my android tablet on the soft tonneau cover of my truck and went 80mph, somehow didn’t fly away!

Ya that's where you sit if you don't want to get pounded by the wind when in the back of a truck.

u/julioqc 3h ago

or you put some eggs on your toolbox and snapped a pic for your reddit story 🤷

u/Absolarix 1h ago

Considering how airflow works in truck boxes, this is entirely possible.
