Broke Down 69...The Adventure Continues

Yeah, I'm not going to be ready to buy a truck for at least a year and a half, possibly more. In the meantime, I'm window shopping and getting feedback on options. Found a real nice 2015 Columbia midroof glider with 240K on it, $72K. But, not buying something without being ready.

 

I would have to ask my GF's dad who he had build his. I won't buy even a low-mileage used emissions truck, it's either pre-03, brand new Pete/KW, or a new/used glider. Gotta make the GF happy and buy a house first, plus have savings and a down payment. And then most likely sign with Mercer, after I have my business plan drawn up.

 

I have a friend who bought a new Glider through Harrison around the same time as I bought my new Volvo 670 emissions truck. His Glider is not all they're cracked up to be.

Besides that, my Volvo D13 with I-Shift smokes his fuel mileage.

 

Well, I showed up 2 hrs early at Costco this morning. I looked at next week's delivery schedule for the load I am scheduled on.

Guess I ate too many chocolate bunnies yesterday.

Oh well, guess it's better early than late.

 

Of course

 

What year is your volvo?

 

Volvos are like Mopeds. They go up and down the road fine, they do the job ok, but boy you don't want to be seen driving one. I laugh every time I see a Volvo with extra chicken lights, like lipstick on a pig.
I don't know what it is- I just don't like them. So many little things, where the jake is, the turn signals cancel, marker interrupt switch, the hood latch is gay, how badly they wander driving, air horn on the steering wheel, they're just "different".
I heard their vocational trucks can be spec'd better.
