    Disc brakes are super nice too.! Makes for some real confidence during a level 1 too..

    Still, Casper played a role in helping you get to where you are today.
    I'm weird, & grow attached to my vehicles. Maybe not practical in this industry, but hey.. Feels like putting an old friend out to pasture.

    My vote is cast, so will see how it plays out..
    Go Casper!! :D

    I do the same. I've often considered Casper as the million mile ISX death engine experiment. It has no blow by. I've maintained it very well. Just had my Landstar inspection 4 days ago. Had the rear bell housing gasket replaced, clutch ( complete ) motor mounts, and carriage bearing done.

    I think I'd make it with him. Now give it to a kid, or somebody that's a gorilla driver................meh.
