    Now if they came in and did the aerodynamic fuel saving type of work, added an APU, and enhanced the truck for what it is actually supposed to do, then I would be signing up hubby for the show, lord knows that truck could use some work. But no driver needs 4 subs and a fish tank in the truck. I'd actually love to see them make the truck more efficient, and the sleeper area more comfortable, but leave off all the expensive bells and whistles.

    But that wouldn't sell the program, and they get all the add on's/in's for the trucks for free, from the companies in return for free advertising on the show, so you know that they wouldn't be able to do a truck for practical purposes.:biggrin_25525:

    Chrome may not get you home, but think how good it'll look behind the hook. :biggrin_25525:

    Yeah, CSM is all about "Show and Go" just like Jesse James too. His bikes are over-rated. I like good looking rigs but All chrome equals a lot of washing, waxing, and polishing when those wheels should be "Turning and Earning".:biggrin_25525:
