Refers? its bad enough we rely on one engine, why add another headache? The pay doesnt compensate for the extra task. Just my opinion, and I love that COP CAR! Drive Safe

I know this is off subject but, does your truck hop up and down at a traffic light like those mexican cars do? Can you imagine doing that in a big rig, and then to top it off - have your trailer jumpin up and down!!! ??
