    You talkin' about X1-Heavy? Pushin' daisies, I heard. Without question, the biggest joke is what drivers claim they make. That's another thing. April Fools used to be so much fun. loosening salt shaker tops, turning a radio on full blast when off, fun stuff you'd probably get arrested for today.

    A guy once told me that he had gone down Donner pass going 120mph. The funny part was this was at an orientation, after he stated that he was going to tell everything to us as honestly as possible.

    That's nothin'.

    I can't tell you where it is but I went up a 50% grade with a tricked-out turned up 8v 71 and I was doing 150 miles an hour going up the hill fully loaded! I passed everything and everybody and I had Flames coming out my stacks!

    Then I got the reload and on the way down on that 50% Hill I hit 9,000 RPM's on that old hopped up 8v71. I knocked it in neutral and I flew down that hill so fast I weaved in and out of traffic like a pro skier. That Hill was so steep I had to put my feet up on the dash to keep myself from going through the windshield!

    There was a couple of sharp turns I wasn't expecting and I went up on two wheels like the Dukes of Hazzard. Good thing because there was two semis in my way and on two wheels I went right between them and as soon as I passed the two of them I got back down on my 18 Wheels and let it roll. Good thing for me it was in the middle of a blizzard are there was all kind of black ice and it all worked to my advantage.

    Boy I tell you I was going so fast I passed the state police and he ain't even going to try to chase me. I know for sure I was doing at least 350 miles an hour! I know on that day I broke the land speed record because when I came down the bottom of that Hill I kept on coasting and I made it halfway across the whole United States.

    Then, I didn't even put the truck in gear and I coasted into the casino. Boy the devil had me breathing fire that day.

    I put $20 down on the craps table and by the time I picked my head up I was worth 100 million dollars.

    Since then I spend my days and nights with supermodels and just come on to the trucker's report for craps and giggles.

    I'm pretty sure ol' X1 Heavy is still among the living. Just not around here anymore.
