  1. Unless this is all orchestrated by the government, there should be penalties and restrictions served to the media for causing all this mass hysteria and panic for absolutely f#@!k all.
  2. Seriously, this is beyond sickening. What is going to happen if there ever was a REAL crisis? We're all doomed. The world is ending over flu. What would happen in a world war 3??? I just talked to someone here that works at Walmart in town. They open at 8 am but said when they show up for work at 7am there are already over 100 people lined up outside. For what????? My friend just went to the liquor store. Said it was packed shoulder to shoulder, people swearing at each other and the shelves all empty. And forget about finding any kind of paper product or food. And you can't even talk any sense to any of these idiots.
  3. Well, we're really in trouble here now. People are coming out of the beer store with 6 and 7 cases at a time! Won't be long before they are out too.
  4. Seen lots of pics of that truck. They did an awesome job restoring that. Just a beautiful truck. That used to be a sight when the Mack factory was still operating in Ontario, Canada where those were made and there would be a few of those lined up by the fence.
  5. I know what you are saying TS7. Not disagreeing. I. personally just don't get a lot from them. I find them distracting. But that's just me.
  6. Another truck I really miss......the CL700.
  7. Schools, stores, restaurants all closing around here. Crazy. If it takes 25*C to kill corona germs I'm screwed. It's still snowing here. LOL
  8. As long as you are not Mack, we will treat you equally! LOL
  9. That looks to be in very nice shape too. Too bad I wasn't close to you.
  10. Nice. I hope you got a good buck for it. Kubota's really hold their value. My antique tractor is an Allis Chalmers, but my new one is a Kubota. I wouldn't buy anything else.
  11. Here's the 4800 spec I am familiar with around here. Photo courtesy of Nova Truck Centres.
  12. Well, I ran from Indiana, across the 401 in Ontario though Quebec to Moncton, New Brunswick. Does that count? LOL I used to pull 4 axle van hauling Coca Cola and beer, and I used to haul RV trailers out of Indiana. I just recently went back to dump trucking because I'm not living in a truck for what you are making nowadays. And my tractor was paid for and it still sucked, LOL
  13. They bought a lot of farm land around here. And I don't mind it, because a lot of it was going to waste and they have a lot of good farm production going around here. And all by hand and horse. Pretty cool to see. But I kinda gotta laugh when I am working in those areas and their little kids are just starring at my Western Star and waving in awe, LOL I kinda like a lot of things about the way they live. Other than the not bathing part, LOL
  14. Mack Technician "They cut the antennas off each vehicle as a show of solidarity against media mental corruption." The whole world needs to do this!!!! This is the whole problem.....media brainwashing and fear mongering.
  15. I have fender mirrors on my new Star because salesman thought it would be a cool idea to have them added at factory. I hate them. I find them distracting, and you can't can't see out them half the time anyway. They freeze and fog in winter, and any time your windshield is wet or dirty, they are right outside the area your wipers cover, so again you can't see them anyway. I much prefer just using my judgement when I have to get up beside stuff on the construction sites.
  16. I have never seen a Page and Page before. Thanks for the education.
  17. The terrorists are probably taking note of this. Now they know all they have to do is release a real epidemic and all the Canadians and Americans will kill each other fighting over toilet paper.
  18. Inside the Daimler Board Room. Marketing guy: We need a new product because yuppies and millennials need change just for the sake of change. Financial Dept: Well just throw a 4700 hood on a Freightliner. That will save us millions. while you're at it, get rid of the external breathers and replace them with big ugly hood side vents like everyone else uses. But throw some little LED foo-foo lights in them so it looks like something special.
  19. I'm scared. Especially after seeing the spy photos I have seen. Oh well, at least I'm safe (and happy) for 4 more years anyway. Then it might be time to retire.
  20. Ya, I see those Pete's with the visor that has the center almost touching the hood. That's a little much. LOL
  21. Well, to be fair, I don't know about the new ones, but I have a friend that has two 2002 VHD dump trucks with 465 Volvo power. They have been flipped over, beat and tortured by numerous drivers, and they are still going. Motors never opened up. But, would I want one over any model of Mack? No thanks. Just not into square box styling.
  22. We had a Ford L9000 tandem dump with a 318 Detroit. That truck FLEW! And it never ever failed. Then we sold it and a guy bought it. He decided to open it up and refresh it. All 8 pistons had broken rings!!! And it still pulled like crazy and showed no signs of being hurt, LOL
  23. Well.....I'm guilty of the visor. My old Paystar.
