0 to 60. Automatics vs Manual

Lepton is right. Never mind my wild oats and super trucking back then, it's ridiculous. Virtually all of my tractors needed a certain amount of time to get to 60, but more importantly it's get the engine into the high horse area and keep it there in the sweet spot.

Personally Im not a drag strip man. I enjoy it in spectating etc but if anything Im a top end fella. Minus the screaming in the other part of the car.

 

Are you saying you like to look at yourself working after your daily 8 hours is over?

 

Me? Naw. It's best I don't come out and scare the poor people. There is alot going on.

Pat Benetar brings back memories. Among other things. We had a awful lot of music back in the 80's

 

I drove both the 8v92 and a 12v71 with a 13 over, noise makin moe foe's

 

I was talking to my flatbed buddy.

He has been a yard worker for the last few weeks

The whole camera thing is an intrusion to me. Point it out the front ok, point it at me, naw.

 

Im totally agree with you.

That camera stuff is BS. I cannot believe we rolled over like a bunch of wussiefied children bought and bribed with juice to accept intrusive cameras in those cabs. Come on people, /rant.

I better shut up while it's good. The moderators have been more than patient with me.

 

Likewise. They have a few looking back in our fleet now. They do that to make sure your not being bad. It's a control thing.
I came off vacay and found one in my windshield. It also has lane departure and I pulled over size n heavy at the time.
Found out you can position the camera so it stops screaming when your 13.8 wide or so.
They wouldn't take it down so I went to glass.

 

I'll hang my hat on that #### thing. Use one of my go pros or something myself. If they squeal about the hat then I serious think that paying people to look at my ugly mug for 14 hours a day is pretty bad.

 

I told them if they put one on me I'm driving with no clothes on. Give em something to watch wile I'm holding the steering wheel.
They can watch my old gray self walk around the cab I'll be Dustin and doin housekeeping too

 

I remember coming up we had a shop full one rainy Sat. morning. As usual Dads brother was leaving for the left coast. The drive coming out of Dads is straight up with a hard left turn to go South on 25. The drive is just naturally angled to the right. When he left out of there with his slow steady roll a crowd of experienced good drivers commented "Nobody is as smooth as EZ." There is your win.
