    Are "seat covers" a thing? I heard that was the term.

    Seat covers , are referring to the view of ladies as they drive by. You drive long enough you will see everything , at least twice ! You name it.

    I can only imagine, but thanks for confirming that all my dad's coworkers were perverts (I did ride-alongs when I was in high school).

    The one thing I miss about long haul. And probably the only thing. 25 below zero weather. Crawling into a comfortable warm sleeper with the purring of a 550 cat to put you to sleep. The best sleeps I've ever had.
