    Sounds right, I never paid much attention.
    I assumed that it was just a regular car the first few days she had it. She was off driving truck for me so i took it to town one day for a meeting and run some errands. When i got to the hwy i hammered it, and holy crap it moved. So i pulled into the parking lot in town, popped the hood, and it was topped with a blower...well I'll be ###### lol

    You sure? Cause they all have a cover that looks like a blower.

    Ok it was quite a few years ago. I think it was when the new Cascadia's came out. I had lofty dreams. I priced out everything. Insurance, registration, maintenance the whole nine yards. The pill was too bitter.

    I am with @Rocks (in sentiments only)

    Too late tonight. I will read about it in the morning. Good night all.

    When i asked her she even said it was blown and 600 and something hp which is why she wanted it. Her first car was a 430 hp mustang which I gave her because it was my old car. It got totaled, she replaced it with a more powerful car.

    I’m surprised that the OM has required Dave to wear one of these.

    Salesmen dont know ####. A 13spd is great for a truck specced to run 80k lbs or less otr. 18 is overkill and 10spds have too big of a gap on the high side. A 13 will get you better fuel mileage as well.

    I got denied the swap because they're not gonna drop an extra 3 grand give or take for no real reason on a company truck lol. But you can bet your behind I'll be putting one in if I can buy this truck.

    Your like a Jackson Hole guy then. Lotta guys get wtf hurt in that hill climb event.

    Before I obliterated my Formula, I endo'd it down Super Chicken Hill in Grand Lake short of the top.

    People came from all over "Dude. That was the most spectacular wipe out I've ever seen."

    Sled is in 30 pieces.
