With a Mack is "fast" really a good question to ask? With a Mack belonging to Rob she should ask if it has fuel,,,,LOL!

Love ya Rob, say Hi to Nicki and momma bear for me,,,or is it grand-momma bear?

I grew up in the right-hand seat of two F-Models on weekends and in the summers, and loved every minute of it!!!!! My father is now retired, however he still works part-time delivering brand new firetrucks out of the factory in Breda, Iowa mostly to the east coast. Hopefully one day my boys will be able to tag along with him for one or two rides.

rob all she needs is a bulldog hat and she will be ready to run!

Hi there, that is a hat from the Mack store but there is no dog on it? Across the back it does say "Built Like a Mack Truck".

Adorable.

You can tell by the look on her face that she is quite aware she has you wrapped around her wittle-bitty finger. :D

Me???

You ought to see "Momma" around the kiddo.

I gotta admit it is a whole lot different being a very active part of raising a grandkid as opposed to your own. Kinda humbles one to what is really important in this life we live.

Ohhh, and incidently; I'll have each and every one of yous guys know there are four trucks in the shop with completely full diesel fuel tanks, and two freshly topped off 55 gallon fuel barrels also. As an added bonus, it is all green fuel too! Also I haven't ran out of fuel a single time since replacing all the fuel lines from the tanks, to the filters, to the injection pump on "Project R-12" last month.

Everybody always picks on me around here. Swear I'm developing some kind of complex or something.........

Rob,I still catch hell for running out of fuel 4-5 years ago,too! I did give a roadside class on diesel engine priming to 2 other guys that had no idea on how to get a diesel restarted after running out!! In a matter of minutes the BCR was on her way again to meet up with the others!! :twothumbsup: Bet Grandpa won't run out with Kinley in the cab!!

I wish my V8's had primer pumps. Not a single one of them do so there is always silicone spray available to get them to fire after they starve, (not that it will EVER happen again)!
