Driver it's a nice truck but as its caretaker, its alot of #### to wash, wax , and polish.

Its an animated face pretty expensive thats one reason he's loaded backwards. There are about 8 Thomas's and 2 or 3 percy's also Mattel owns the rights another reason the face is covered. Intellectual property or some crap lime that
Thanks for all the compliments, and to those that say no hood mirrors, those pics were taken a few days ago a hood mirror on the right was a condition i made very clear and they obliged. I dont like the way it looks either but hey its nice to have a smaller blind spot. -
Strasburg hosts one of them now and then. You think the kids love them alot.
As far as the freighter, you will get used to it in time. -
X1heavy i xannot divulge too much but they all live 20 miles from Strasburg PA
x1Heavy Thanks this. -
That's ok. No need to. We are familiar with the area. I have not been there in quite some time, but generations have. We do follow them regularly to see whats happening.

I agree. I like the look of them. And while I dislike the look of hood mirrors, you can hide a midsized sedan beside my hood so I got em.Last edited: Jan 24, 2020

wow you pulled the old man card, soooo everybody with less years than you must immediately bow to your wisdom. NOT safety item,maybe if you don’t deserve a hood and are a poor judge of distance I suppose they help. I was offering an opinion on style which always varies between friends. Side note you are in a small club that can bust my chops for lack of experience.

It’ll be second nature in no time.
D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
Lose the big pipes, use smaller pipes or move them inboard a little, they stick out way to far, no wonder you can't see anything.
I drove a W900L aero cab with with no pipes, (grass burner), and didn't feel like a lesser man in any way, the truck was still pretty cool.
