i really like how high up the drivers cock pit sits. Would be fun to drive and "survey" your surroundings. Think of all the great pics OtherDog could take from that vantage point! He could spot winfall wimmin from a full mile away.

The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.

The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.
