    Just different sides to the same coin. People like to think their govt has their best interests in mind.........makes them sleep better at night. Most people are morons, nothing more than blind consumers, cogs in a wheel.

    I'm the same way. Politics is like Santa Claus, people vote for whomever promises them the most handouts. I just want to be left alone.

    The moment the government claims to have your best interests at heart, you should worry. Never once have they given a crap about us. We're just their source of income.

    That is because people don't want to see it. People want their "free" stuff and vote for whomever will give it to them. As long as people have sports, phones, video games and Facebook.......thats all they care about. That is their life.

    Yeap, perfect example was the pic of the house earlier. How does a community organizer with no money, who entered the white house with no money and who had an annual salary less than most of us here, afford that? Makes you wonder. Same goes for a certain squad member. How does a ex-bartender go to an event that tickets are $30k a piece in a dress that costs more than some of our cars? All that for ONE night? You can't look me in the eye and say they aren't corrupt with the people's best interests in mind......yeah.....right.

    You could get an aluminum frame in a 379 aswell. Most didn't last very long though from what I hear....and seen.

    2.2 million on this beast he's had since new. If I had to guess I'd say he was late 60s early 70s and that's his last ride before retirement

    He backed in next to me so i went over and told him it's gonna be a while they only have 1 loader for 8 docks so we got bs'ing. Put a smile on his face seeing a younger kid interested in trucks. Put his boots on and was happy to pop the hood and show me the swap.

    Were the gauges the stock vdo digital? I haven't seen one of those in a very long time. They were kinda cool for their day.

    Edit: I can't claim 2.2, but I'm close. :D
    No aluminum frame. I have the heavy single.
