You must be young still. [laugh]

One good thing with all that Detroit power running around, the leakage must keep the dust down!

Thanks for your service Wettstein!

I've always liked the look of those trucks...Anything you have to look through the floorboard to see what's in front of you is my kind of vehicle...

And thank you for your service to your country, sir!...http://www.discussiondepot.net/forum.../USAspin01.gif...Ben

I hate riding in those things. I rode one from Al Asad to Sinjar and back. I was getting thrown all over the place on the dips.

Ah, the MANN tracter. I loved driving that beast. It's such an odd feeling to have the turning wheels behind you.
