    In that case, the 680's are superior easily to the Prostar, in all points.

    -More comfy (Seats are more adjustable)
    -More roomy (Top bunk can fold up)
    -Less Rattles
    -Better thought out shelving (in my opinion, though I'd miss the overbunk storage cubbies.
    -Easier to control cab/sleeper lights, and the switches are not on the back of the sleeper.
    -Pull better
    -Ride much smoother
    -Automatic = no gear shifter on the floor = much more room.

    I had two 680's (13 speeds) when I started @ Con-Way, they were both troublesome in the electronics department. I am hoping they were just part of a bad batch, or rushed production as my prostar is almost at retiring age. I'd rather have a Cascadia, but I'd take a 680. Or I could keep this rattletrap (440k miles).

    I miss hearing "salutations!!!!!"

    I'd call multiple times (had to anyway with the jacked up load info all the time)

    She was the one who forwarded me to the new girl in logs who emailed them personally thru her email when scumbagzx Conway locked me out of the QC site before I got them.

    Ppl all ain't bad up there. Or just haven't been tainted yet suppose. Sure she's just like the rest of em now.

    Lol had to do two pullups with the iddy bitty one car trailer under the carport.

    Just one of those days. Been easier to blind side it.

    Off to Dayton Ohio to meet up with a dealer. I'm buying a new Chevy gonna run the piss out of it... Sell it used at a higher price like 3k more than i boughr new next tax season. Buy a brand new one at the end of the year at the same price xD

    Flip dip a doo.
    Who says new cars lose value?

    Any of you guys make money on the road other than driving?
    I would always buy little crap I could throw in a box like antique video games from GameStop and hawk it on eBay for 10-15 a pop profit even with flat rate box shipping.

    Guys should look into that.
    You can buy the romance three kingdom games for 99 cents and sell for 20 like shaboom. ;)
    Mario/nintendo stuff holds value so no profit to be made there but Sony stuff has quite the margins.

    Conway freight yards and walmarts are your friends. That's called grocery money folks. XD

    Harley shop in Waco is usually buy one get one free. Stuff was selling pretty hot online after the recent shooting. Money to be made there for instance.
    Ppl around here loved that ####. $5 cheaper than retail gets rid of 20 shirts in a week.
