    I wonder how much all that will drive up the price of an already over-priced truck?

    This will also increase the profit margin of over 30,000 Freightliner employees who manufacture and replace body parts after crossing a ski jump mislabeled as a bridge.

    So what do the mirrors do, fold out of some secret compartment? Or is that little stick up there the mirror? Maybe it's a magnifying glass of some sort...

    Ooooh wait, I get it. It's a TV camera that oughta be worth another $8,000.00 on the price.

    At least it has nice drive axle fenders...and they will look even better when some driver smacks them with a trailer or blows a tire.

    Can you even begin to imagine what those things will cost? The fenders that is.

    A 3 foot section side skirt for a KW cost over $400.

    Have a blowout, etsimates will be as high as $2500 for repairs.
