  2. I got the flu years back,and made into the old Duke Truckstop,Buckeye Lake,OH don't think I've been that sick since! all I wanted to do was get a room,crank up the heat and pass-out! lady at the check-in desk said" Bud,you don't look too good" I said, "I felt like I was dead,and no one had told me" They made a point to check on me,bought me some Theraflu (some nasty shit) and even went and brought me some homemade soup,never forgot the kindness,and made it a point to let them know how much it was appreaciated. Not too many people nowadays would go above and beyond for a stranger............place is long gone now,but I still remember,and always stopped in when I could,had some pretty damn good pies/cakes there too!.................................Mark

  3. Tom,glad you're feeling better,and I'm sure you know I know it blows to get sick on the road! been there done that! sounds like you got a pretty good boss too! I had a boss years ago that would have said "I don't give a s**t if your damn head is falling off,that freight needs to be on the dock at 7:00 NOT 7:05 get you ass in gear and get moving!!" ( that gig lasted two trips)......................Mark

  4. Personally,i think Mack is more than just a truck,it's an American icon EVERYBODY knows what a Mack truck is! I don't think any truck maker has the following/history that Mack does. I guess I am guilty as charged with brand loyalty,i've owned 5 so far and driven many more..................................Mark

  5. I knew I liked BMT for a reason! I greased the truck/steamed off the 5th wheel yesterday,and to tell the truth,i didn't even know Seattle had a football team!.............................Mark

  6. Not a recent experience,but years ago I ran a set of Kumho drives on my CH and to tell the truth I was damn happy with them! only one I ever lost was not the tires fault,i ran over something that caused it to come apart. I agree with never cheaping out on steers,even back when I started in my F-model ( which was mostly tape and bailing wire),i managed to buy a new set of Goodyear steers on credit......................Mark

  7. I agree with what's been posted,definately NOT a GTO! this is a mid-trim level Le Mans or Tempest with GTO sheetmetal and badging. I did the very same thing with my 67' Tempest,bought a wrecked GTO front clip/hood and had "instant GTO" might still be worth the effort,as these cars are getting scares,just don't be fooled into thinking this is a genuine Goat,a basketcase GTO goes for 25K nowadays!...............................Mark
