    I thought that's what the cruise control was for! Hmmm that explains all the mud on the right side!!!

    It takes about 7 seconds on a straight before she starts drifting to the right. Gotta be quick.

    You know I thought I would never make it yet after a couple trips I enjoyed the changes in scenery, the stupid drivers doing stupid crap, the hazards to watch for and seeing how many trucks of x company I see. Once you get used to legal logging its not so bad compared to a job where do not make money. Try it for one moth and let us know how you like it.

    Well since you already are scared of my driving I will tell you another. One night I got bored and was the only vehicle in sight so I set the cruise and drove from the passenger seat for about half hour just to get a different view.

    How'd that work out for ya? Better view? I'd imagine checking the seat covers would be harder, unless you're running down the hammer lane.

    I said I was the only thing around and it was night time. It was different it changed things up a bit. The passenger seat didnt have the imprint of my butt so it wasnt as comfortable.
