    Everyone has their favorites,and I've always been a "dye in the wool" GM man,but in my opinion,the best looking car ever made is the Supercharged 1936 Cord 812, way ahead of its time in both looks,performance and features......................................Mark

    Prolly the easiest thing to do would be to find a good used Mid-roof CX,can always convert the sleeper area into RV type seating,hell of a sight cheaper then any crew-cab type vehicle!..........................................Mark http://columbusoh.ebayclassifieds.com/trucks-vans-suvs/howard/2004-mack-vision-cx613-sleeper-semi-460hp-mack-engine/?ad=27772121

    Personally,i have had no serious problems (enginewise)other than the cam being replaced under warranty with my 01' CX,460,13 speed Road-Ranger,the only issues I've had were more specific to the truck itself ie: coolant tanks,electrical shorts,air system problems etc. But I couldn't be happier with the performance of my 460,i've been told maybe I just got "a good one" but I like to think it is due to good preventative maintenance,keeping a good eye on things and not driving like a maniac! happy to report 1,000,000 miles last year,and has not yet been apart!......................Mark

    I've often wondered what werners "attricion rate" for tractors and trailers is? gotta be in the thousands a year for both I would think. Bonehead werner "driver" pulled a door off my trailer earlier this year....................Mark

    Oy! to each his own,but in my opinion the 59 (anything) is the ugliest car ever made! LOL!..............................................Mark

    Boy,makes you wonder what that Superliner went for? I like the sleeper R-Models too! I really wanted an R-Model when I ordered my MH,but there were no sleepers available within a 300 mile radius!............................................Mark

    Must be an imaginary place! I see a Swift truck BACKED in a parking spot and the lightpole behind him is still standing! Also there are no bobtails taking up spaces either!................Mark

    Ken,there is an outfit that is always at fall Hershey and Carlisle with a trailer load of take-off OEM wheels,i can't recall their name,but Paul (41 Chevy) may know who i'm talking about. They always have some pretty obscure stuff! Might just have the wheels you're looking for....................Mark

    I don't know about all vehicles,but the Mack 6 cylinder was,a small door with a set-screw,Pop said you also had to set the spark ignition/timing and fuel before starting (much like a Model-T ford) on the steering wheel..............................Mark

    Something of an art to crankstart a vehicle! my Grandfather told me many stories about having to crank his first truck (Mack AK-6) over by hand,had to get your timing just right,or the crank would "back-up" and break your arm!................................................Mark

    I love these FNG's that when you pass them,they click on the high beams just as you look in the mirror to come back over! if you don't know how to give someone "the lights' DON'T DO IT!!!!! pisses me off too when people don't use their lights in rain,bad weather!...........................Mark

    I hear ya! "routine" day for me averages 12-14 plus hours,if I did things "by the book" i'd be broke and on the road for three weeks with 10 stops! I'm getting pretty sick and tired of the govmints,interfererence in my livelyhood! When i'm tired I sleep,when I need a break I take one! Don't need anyone to tell me to do so! Getting tougher everyday for an O/O to make a living,but the sheep don't want people who can think and act for themselves,they want 5-6 supercarriers piloted by driving school rejects that will do what and when their told for .25 cpm........just my opinion,...............Mark

    Did'nt you know if you add the words "rare" or "vintage" it adds 10K to the asking price? some numbnuts down here has a "vintage" Mack ashtray on craigslist for $300.00! good luck with that!........................................Mark
