Popular Post Green Dash Posted April 18, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2015 I love the wide open spaces in the Midwest, maybe because I spend most of my time in the hills. My house is even on top of a hill.I didn't know your Dad was still driving. That's a very nice ride he has.Is it possible the calendar you have next to the vent is what's making it feel so warm in the cab? 3 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Lots of places, like tire shops and garages, used to give you those calendars with boobage on them but I can't find them any more. I even looked online- I found them, but the minimum order was for like a hundred calendars, more than I could afford. I didn't really need that many anyway.
