    Suffice to say, you’re better off saving your blood pressure.

    There are a few Europeans that are extremely knowledgeable about European trucks. One is an owner/operator, one is a salesman for Mercedes Benz I think, and one fellow is a wizard that works in some capacity (consultant maybe) with a bunch of different manufacturers. All of them point out differences between our trucks and theirs, and understand that they are different for a number of reasons; primarily related to European length and weight laws versus ours, and the big difference in speed limits.

    Then there is this one guy who I haven't quite figured out what his involvement in trucking is, but he will google everything and then comment about how stupid us North Americans are. He pulls up data on things that I wasn't aware were available via the internet, and then lectures as if he invented the truck.

    He gets under my skin, and despite trying to be civil I sometimes come close to loosing it.

    I should do as Sar says and just stay away.

    All I know is, I just watched Carrie Underwood dance on Sunday night football. All is good now. That’s my hall pass

    That one was my handiwork unfortunately. Another mod saw that mess and closed it. I cleaned it up by taking the political posts out and reopened it. Hopefully that will do for now.

    Thank you, and I apologize. I did excuse myself before it got worse though.

    Can you ban me from just one thread? Maybe I should ask you to do that!

    If the little ones arrive too soon just get a fast KW and forget about the car.
