    Yes. Especially the one on the trailer at the loves. Test trucks and show trucks are hauled all the river vs driven. I’ve hauled quite a few perfectly drivable trucks for kenworth from one show to another in the last few years.

    We were told 3-4 months to order a t880 vs over a year for a t800.

    You are so wrong about that its not even funny.. Have you ever used photoshop before ? If you think that is easy to replicate . you dont understand how complex the lighting and reflections are in that picture... If you think all you have to do is add a hood.. How are you going replicate the lighting angles and color on the hood? Where would you even start with that? Because whatever picture you get of a different hood is going to have different lighting and different color.. So you have to match all the lighting itself and then match the color and reflections which is #### near impossible to make it all realistic.. The guys reflection of taking the picture is a dead giveaway its real. Take a look at the relfections in the paint. You can see an mini excavator and a box trailer in the background.. Colors of that trailer in the reflection of the stack as well as the sleeper paint..even the angle of the reflection of the fuel island is 100% on point.. That itself would take an intense amount of knowledge in geometry to figure out how to get it accurate.. Id really like to see anybody try to replicate it digitally because if that is the case, they are wasting their skills photoshopping pictures of trucks.. And surely nobody in peterbilts graphic design department has skills anywhere close to that... I would consider myself to have above average graphic design skills and could not even make this anywhere close to realistic.... And surely no random person gives a #### about trucks enough to ever do this... So the only people left would be another truck driver and if they have those types of skills they are wasting their time driving a truck.... If you really believe they are fake then theres nothing i can say to convice you otherwise. Its just ignorance... im 100% sure they are all real...

    I was told at the first of the year if I ordered a W9 right then I could expect a 3rd quarter build date.

    That is exactly why I say it looks Internationalish. That's not a bad looking International though.

    That truck was on the cover of 10-4 and then basically disappeared. I never saw a pic of it going down the road or anything.

    Hey, I’m tapping out of this thread, hope you all the best!
    I’ve been a member here for quite a few years and enjoyed helping people, joking around and some of the back and forth bs..always enjoyed hanging out here chilling but now I’m going to take a vacation from this site.

    Seems that I’ve got a stalker now and it’s come down to that forum member sending me taunting PM’s.
    Wishing you all the best, CIAO!

    My post wasnt meant to be offensive in any way.. Just based on the complexities of the pictures are hard to replicate... And i really doubt it ever could be digitally replicated
