Thank you. I believe I have a few shots and videos of it buzzing around the test track too. Glad to see it home safe.

Looked good buzzing around the track.

In the weeds....for good?

At least this guy stands for the anthem..... 

All the ones I've spotted here in Upstate NY have been gas as well.

So what began with me reading that Egypt is in the market for new howitzers caused me to note the tractor of course, and it looked to me like a 4-door PayStar 5000. Except I'm not aware of any having been built (Daily Diesel, one of our International experts, can correct me).

.

Well, I read the late 70's through early 90's section of IHC Trucks by Mr. Crismon and found no mention of crewcab trucks which if produced in house by International I would have expected to receive full coverage. There were plenty of photos and notes regarding the daycab units purchased by Saudi Arabia but never mention of Egypt.

How are relations between the two countries? I wonder if Egypt bought these units second hand. Either way, the main question remains unanswered....for now.

The HX with a sleeper is good looking machine. Hope Kenworth is paying attention. 

Thanks for the laugh...I need that. 

Spent some time in California last month and made the obligatory journey to Disneyland. BYD buses are used in the parking lot shuttle fleet. 

So ELD's are creating demand for trucks which in turn should create a demand for more drivers, of which the trucking industry has a severe shortage of at this moment.

Fascinating.

89 RB right here.

Certainly a head turner.

That late summer sun is always a killer. I'll let you post the pics of that wacky looking Detroit powered B-Model. 

Hmmm. So what will the Durastar name change to now that all other models have been relaunched?

This is a smart move by International and shows they are truely seeking to be competitive in the heavy spec'd truck market.

Hmmm don't know the number but probably in the top 5 for sure. The Budd cab and the S-Series International cab would be in that list too.

I think that Oskosh was at Balston ot maybe this year???

Believe so. Guy drove it to the show with all the plow gear on.

Ah Big Kenny, this might be the most popular Kenworth on Youtube.

Conservative estimates place the load of the crusher at around 140K, the truck is about 24K. After recently speaking with the man who was in the cab I can assure the Deere was there for moral support only. 

Interesting. you can see the hinges on the rear doors suggesting the possibility of rear facing seats.

 

I'm sorry but come on... Do you get as upset when you see the Alt-Left waving the Hammer and Sickle? We were in a cold war with them that lasted 50 years.. and a few hot ones too.  (My father, a Tet Offensive veteran saw the Left in full bloom in '68) The Neo-Marxist are driving their agenda far more effectively from the college campuses and the MSM than the trifling number of actual Neo-Nazis or so-called white supremacists ... I went to a Christian University and to see the hammer and sickle on a dorm wall was seen as edgy and cool... but by-God... a Swastika?? you'd be expelled... Yet Stalin alone was responsible for murdering over 60 million people in his own country. THINK THINK THINK check your bias, because it clearly exists. READ READ READ "Gulag Archipelago" 

Moral equivalency is poor defense or argument to explain current events. The Nazi and Soviet regimes were both equally abhorrent in their beliefs and actions and I do not have to denounce both of them on equal terms to be upset with one group more than the next.

But you're right, I do have a bias against Nazis, Neo Nazis and all their feeble minded brethren.
