New Antenna Time

You must be a new driver. Maybe not a 389, but definitely W900's.. I drove a 379 Pete in 2004 when I worked for Werner and they also had Kenworth W900 and Freightliner Classics at the time. Naturally all of them were governed.

 

So I guess that makes this Red Star a large car.

 

Well, me being the inquizitive fellow that I am along with the conflicting responses, I decided to look it up. The following statement does not, by any means, imply that I think Google is always right but... basically it said a large car is a Class 8 truck or a truck that can reach speeds in excess of 90 miles an hour or a truck that has been, and this is a term that I would never use unless quoting someone else, "pimped out". Not that my opinion really matters but I would not consider a truck that had been "pimped out" a large car because in my mind that term would imply something totally different.

 

My buddy Youngblood in Atlanta uses it in is tagline Wendy comes on and signs off and I always wondered exactly what he meant. I had a feeling it was something to that effect.

 

“Large car” is a term dates back to the 1930s. Like sedan or coupe with cars, it’s a truck body type.

 

that's a new one on me, never heard it applied to anything but custom trucks in the 70's to now.
