    It's the animating spirit trying to escape!

    Wrap your entire truck up with duct tape and set cord, douse the whole thing with kerosene, and toss a lot match at it. It's the only surefiresld, guaranteed way to exorcise those pesky spirits!

    They have a picture up here at customs. A guy with a green card from Mexico was sneaking his woman up. He had gutted the dash and she was laying inside it. when they ask for his insurance and he opened the glove compartment she, the officer seen it in her hand. lol
    She supposedly weighed 137 pounds according to the article. lol
    I could see some strange noises coming out of that dash when they hit some of the frost heaves. lol

    Some of the pictures and newspaper articles, plus the collection of illegal stuff they have at customs is pretty interesting. lol

    I have never been in one, but I used to know most of the guys that delivered all the new trucks to the major truck shows, all of them claimed sterlings were the worst, and claimed the stereo didn't go loud enough to hear. lol
