    I think he was referring to the interior condition of your new truck

    Ozzy, short for Ozyimandius, from the movie,"The Watchmen" was reported to move fast enough to catch a bullet, not my idea of a GTI tractor.
    Rescue and recovery in regard to a company's equipment can mean several things. I'm guessing this one was left at the dealer for repair and its' former driver moved on.

    I rescued a Crete truck once in Bakersfield CA. Had been there for three months for repairs and then forgotten about. Had a 3 month old pizza sitting on the bunk.

    Ozymandius I was referring to was from the poem--the great and terrible ruler who erected an enormous statue of himself with a plaque that said something to the effect of "I am Ozymandius. Let all who live see me and despair." But the narrator found the statue and plaque after they had fallen into decay and ruin, and all that was left of the statue of Ozymandius and his empire was some pathetic remains lying in the sand. It makes an interesting commentary on hubris. Sic transit gloria. That's why the comment about a washed up super trucker. I just like the name.

    Then again, Nebuchadnezzar was another example of hubris brought low (who was restored to his former glory after he learned humility--happier ending).

    Hot Chick thinks we shouldn't name him since he's probably not staying long (single bunk rig).
