    I've lived in California over 40 years after growing up in the Midwest. People are nicer in the Midwest. It's the Arizona people you have to watch.

    Plus the cats would have a lot more space to go bananas when they go into frenzy.

    Oh bologna soup!
    They all dump their sewage in the parking lot and look you square in the eye and tell you it’s just water.
    Plus never ever get behind a “large car” at a fuel island unless you need a 45 minute break.

    I seriously never even had thought until you brought it up lol. I can fuel anything, all windows washed and wiped dry in 12 minutes. 12 minutes is actually long for me.

    Yes!!! Because you’re in a bland FreightShaker!!
    But the supertrucker in his large car takes 45 minutes minimum even if he doesn’t fuel

    I thought " large cars " were 379's? I've never understood why they are called "cars" either.

    If I could back a 285 WB Pete into places that daycabs have problems, you should get 275 in there.

    I've never been stuck behind a hood of any breed in a fuel island that wasn't actually putting fuel in, or he was stuck behind the Volvo or freightshaker in front of him.

    This is true! Paid 25k less than the same truck in white. All because the color. Yep it’s purple.
    Those greenish things are just too garish.
    Plus that paint just goes through batteries.
