    Oh yeah... Watch out for Amazon vans pulled by Amazon day cabs... If the majority of them are anything like the one that nearly ran me off the road and nearly took my hood off tonight, they will make swift look like a gem.

    Dumb SOB jumped his 60 mph truck out in front of me (67 mph).... He actually would have side swiped my hood had I not been quick to react and stand on the brakes. My train horns didnt even phase him. I gave him another couple of good blasts of my horns a few miles later when I passed him... I was PISSED!!!

    l don't mind driving in snow and l can hang 4 singles in less than 30 minutes. It's the drivers that know nothing about winter driving and are not smart enough to park it that irritate me. l found a better picture of my 59 Pete and post it here. l was delivering a metal building to Clint Eastwoods ranch. lt was a hangar for his helicopter that he piloted himself. scan175516496.jpg
