  1. Out of likes but I LIKE! Freakin' fantastic and a bunch of BMT members...FREAKIN' JEALOUS! When are the videos and sound bites coming?
  2. The downfall of a nation starts when the children are less educated than their parents. How many kids do you see today that do not want to study or learn? The younger generation is the "give me" group...give me this, give me that. And yes it started with my generation, the Y-generation. Kudos to Vinny and other young people who take time to listen to us "old farts" and try to do what is right for the country and mankind. Sorry for the diversion...there should be no commercial stores open on Holidays....but there should be some basic services available...hospitals, gas stations, drug stores, convenience stores, and fast food establishments. I too remember when the only thing open on Sunday or a Holiday was a drug store and they opened at noon or later. No gas stations were open so you needed to "plan" and fill-up the day before. Holidays are meant to celebrate the "reason" and spend time with family. In a few years I foresee "business as usual" on Thanksgiving and even Christmas.
  3. Welcome to BMT. No Mack....pics will work!
  4. Good question...how do you like shifting with your left hand? How about some driving videos?
  5. Send some of that "heat" to PA......18 here (high 26)
  6. Very nice! When does the "Tour of America" start? Make sure Macungie and Gerhart's are on the list of stops. I bet the Mack Museum would LOVE to see this one in person.
  7. What he said ^^^^^^^
  8. But it is in NC....
  9. You are in North Country...I recommend synthetic.
  10. If it was black it was Smith Transport. If it was white = EFSmith. Both are based in Roaring Spring, PA (about 2 miles from each other).
  11. All the carpet was removed from the Whitehouse?!? (Hey, someone had to ask. )
  12. You may be right. There was some talk a few months ago but I have heard nothing recently. Hopefully this "tax increase" will stop any discussions. Yea, just like the lottery monies are to go to schools and elderly. If that is correct, why do my school taxes keep increasing and where is the money to help my mom (and other elderly people)? Years ago, the PA turnpike was "self supporting". If so, what changed? (My guess is the STATE was "borrowing" money from the PTC.)
  13. Is the 7 to 8 split the same as the T2050?
  14. Fred - I am sure you heard the lady correctly when she called it a "paint job". My "vote" is for a wrap. If you look closely at the Bulldog base you can see a white outline. Also, the back of the cab and farings are white. Likely a white truck with a wrap. Nice wrap/paint regardless.
  15. PA did not lease/sell the PA turnpike (IN leased the IN turnpike). There was discussion about making I-80 a toll road but that did not happen either. Another article on taxes... http://www.truckinginfo.com/news/story/2013/11/penn-governor-signs-new-transportation-funding-law-changing-fuel-taxes.aspx?utm_campaign=Headline-News-20131126&utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Enewsletter#.UpSjwgdnVbQ.email 39.2 c/gal on Diesel to 66 c/gal in 5 years....ouch!
  16. Thanks! Eight (8) hours from RS, PA.....likely will not be attending....hope you have a good turnout in July 2014. Definitely post some pics.
  17. Barry....the secret is out! Leslie, And what was your route going east from Watt's?
  18. 1959 and 1960 Chevys were both that way - big fins. I heard the same...rear would lift at high speeds. The boat would have a "built-in" speed limiter.
  19. Dumb question.....what state? And is the town named Lancaster? Thanks!
  20. Here are the IH COEs that were traded with the last MHs.
  21. Who bought the 1996 RD boom truck in MA? Auction ended at $13,200. http://www.municibid.com/detail.asp?id=17866
  22. Why not change the rotation design of the prop? or does it relate to engine rotation? Or was it designed my a person from Jolly Ole England?
  23. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Safe travels too. For those of us in the "east"...the forecast is for snow and cold.
  24. Happy Birthday
  25. Vlad, By RHD do you mean...right hand drive? If so, all boats in US are RHD - don't know why. I am sure some "nautical" person knows the answer.
