    Said the cowboy as he sat on his horse looking at the first automobile he had ever seen during the early 1900s......

    I think it'd be cool to be able to say " hey what you got in that truck? Cat? Cummins?" " nah mini turbine." Boom. Cool factor +10

    I'm not sure why you care what anybody else thinks. You always seem to try SO HARD to get everybody elses approval for the things you do or want to do. It's great to post what works for you, what didn't and what you plan for the future and why. There are plenty of ways to make good money and if the road you choose is to do the same thing as most others but try to do it more efficiently, great it just seems that you are not trying to convince others (why should you care) but rather, you are trying to convince yourself. BTW, a 6 figure net annual profit is only good if the first figure is NOT a 1.

    Good one!

    I hope they have this truck at the Mid-America Truck Show this month. I would like a closer more detailed look.

    Arnt you the one claiming 9 to 9.5 mpg with your special bearings? You should be making 130,000 to 150,000 a year profit, your already way ahead of the game..............but maybe you haul that .80 cent freight?

    Some features will make it into production. I especially like the customizable LCD dash board. That is a very cool feature. The seat in the middle I don't know about. What about passengers? What if my wife wanted to come with me?

    Walmart probably doesn't allow riders so they didn't consider that.

    Bolt the second seat right behind the first , elevated about 6 inches . Sort of like a fighter jet.
