    So I was driving by Hurricane's yard a few weeks ago and snapped these pics. Just look how many empty trailers they have on their yard and look at the line of trucks. If you look close enough you can see leaves between the fairing and fuel tank so you know that whole row of trucks have not moved in a while. And there was a lot more trucks and trailers and their lot that is not captured.

    I was just giving you sheet. Although I would really worry about that fuel cost going up as it is starting to shoot up again. If that is no concern then I would pull the trigger on it.

    Don't think I have seen any of them from Werner. But yeah sometimes it is just fun to own a fuel hog I guess. Not for me that is forsure with prices starting to get back up past $4.

    It’s a show truck they put together years ago. Usually only take it out to the Jamboree at Walcott.

    Oh all good lol. I made an offer on the 579 so we will see tomorrow if they accept it. At the end of the day the 579 does the exact same thing the 389 does and that's what matters the most.

    Hope you get it bud, I like seeing people secede and get what they want. Makes a person feel a little better when they are doing what they want and doing it in something they enjoy.
