    Man I agree with you totally. And every time I clean the inside of my truck I go to Cartersville and get mud all on the inside.

    If he gets a preventable for that, it would be unforgivable. That's not right at all. I truly hope that isn't the case.

    I hope so too. How can somebody get a preventable when its their lot that is in bad shape. I would think that they have more sense then that.

    I will once again state my love and appreciation for Millis. But some of those yards are just awful.

    I definitely agree. I also appreciate Millis tremendously. But I have often wondered why all of the yards are dirt. Im sure that they make enough money to pave them. I would think they would save a lot of wear and tear on their trucks by having them drive on pavement rather than in dirt and potholes.

    Lol dad just called. He just got done driving my truck and wants to trade :biggrin_2559: He said it's fast. Had it at 75 in 9th gear and smooth as silk. Can't wait to get my hands on that thing. Getting dropped off on Sunday afternoon. Pics will be coming then :D

    Sometimes it depends on local codes. If paving the lot would cause too much water run-off, local government won't allow it. It's an EPA issue.

    Pretty sure they were forced to pave the West Allis drop lot a few years ago because of the neighborhood complaining about dust. Ever call up directions to the place? It is referred to as gravel lot or something like that.
