    I bet she rumbles.

    Mmm... I love a rig you can really hear as a driver runs through the gears or jakes 'er on down.

    I'm glad you like it enjoy, but I just don't like them. It's the Freightlinerization of a great truck brand.

    I agree now it's all about fuel mileage clean exhaust and aerodynamic, which I understand I love the look of the W9 and it's paccar brother the 379 but times are changing I just hope that as they change the looks of the trucks Kenworth doesn't skimp on quality

    I don't feel Aerodynamics really come into play when your overall average speed is 50 mph or under. And/or are consistently Phat, Wide, Long, or High!

    Different Jobs need Different "Specialized Tools!"

    I remember thinking the T's were hideously ugly!
    Now in a T800, it is well suited for my current needs, setback steer, good visibility, I hate the raised roof, big moose bumper helps it's look! Would be better with a 3406 mechanical, or 855 block cummins, but well maybe someday!

    If a truck was a bond villain, this is what it would look like!

    Didn't know the destination, or the origination! But I have seen a fair number of those tanks southbound on the main turnpike in the past two weeks.

    Also seen a sh!tt0n of these Green round sausage like things, Stacked High!! headed south on all the big roads, Something about Chistmas is coming, and the people want there Dead Trees to put packages under!!!

    Mass state trooper escorts, first question is,
    How fast can you go?
    Second question,
    Can you maintain that speed?
    OK let's go!!
