semi-truck/trailer mudflap

Here's the one that was laying on top of and hiding the rolling-papers advertising mats I found the other day at my local cig shop.

It is from RECHTIEN INTERNATIONAL, apparently a big truck dealership in Miami and Palm Beach, FL. Its backside (pic 2) is covered with 'bristles' (which caught a few pine needles from my yard when I took the pic) which is done to supposedly cut down on the amount of water overspray cloud that's naturally created by those big ole pairs of pairs of tires that hold up those trucks and trailers, when they're in the rain on the freeway otherwise usually going slower than all the surrounding traffic... <grumble><nono>
