    I came up on a slow car on I24 and went around him. Suddenly he gets into the hammer lane and rides up along side me. A guy hangs out of the passenger window with his camera pointed at me. I hit my breaks and give him a strange look since at first I thought he was trying to report me for going around them or something. He noticed my expression, and began smiling and waving with a thumbs up. I realized that he was just taking a pic of my sweet looking truck. I drove it through the rain and it still looked good which is why I was confused at first. I can see if I had just got it washed then I would have known why he was taking pics. First time I ever seen anyone taking pics of my truck while rolling down the road.

    Sorry but I learned a long time ago not to put personal info on the internet. Its a long story but once I was treated like a celebrity online due to my success and people were stealing my pics pretending to be me. Some people even recognized me in real life. If I showed my truck someone here would notice it since it really is distinct.

    A couple of years ago, I was toolin down I-94 north of Chicago when I spy a minivan keeping pace with me for a couple of miles. When he gets along side of my cab, I see he is holding a camcorder and recording my truck. I said, 'no way' and dropped 5 mph of my speed like that. As I got behind him, I saw he had a phone number on the back window. It was mysterious, I called the number, it led to answering machine that just said 'Leave a message'. Later on, I put the number in a search box and it came up nothing. Still don't know what to make of it.
