    I don't think people are trying to be rude to you, but this is an owner/operator page. Besides common sense, most of us don't know anything about lease purchase.

    Maybe kr's 16 year old Detroit didn't like going down hill at a "safe" 2500 rpm on the jakes like he told a caller a few years back .. Or running at elevated temps .. Old equipment needs a bit of babying not running the ragged edge.. Old engines are like older people we still run fine and get the job done nicely but keep pushing us really hard and something fails lol

    last a checked a seat is a lot cheaper than a new truck if "sitting on someone else's farts" bothers you so much

    How do you know if your mechanic isn't toasting your seats?

    I'm just saying that having seats that Le Petomane hasn't sat in is a stupid reason to buy a New truck!

    Yeah, but you could go to a good Mexican restaurant and get gas.

    (let's see, there's some preachy religious nut, the imperious, pompous Dave Nemo, those two nitwits at lunch time, the news guy that never asks the same questions I do, Landline "preaching to the choir" Magazine, KC Phillips who agrees with every. single. stupid. caller. Repeat a few of these dumb shows and then it's the fat guy with the antisocial truckers having the most painfully awkward verbal intercourse imaginable and repeat ad nauseum)


    Really? You're an "indifferent observer" and go after the entire Road Dog line-up like this? How do you know this if you seldom or ever listen?

    FWIW I'm in total agreement with Two Girls. The entire Road Dog channel is a vast intellectual wasteland,pretty much a reflection of our society in general and specifically our media. Nobody asks hard questions or has intelligent discussions any more.
