    The hood mirrors are awful. The grille is ugly with those fake chrome pieces. Those headlights are hideous and gaudy. And those #@?; driving lights invite every ######## that drives one to have them on all the time, blinding everyone in a 30 mile radius.

    I did see a picture of the interior, and I could get used to that. I love that steering wheel. Reminds me of some later R models I've seen.

    But, overall, I don't like it. It's a sad day in Mack truck history.

    Mind if I use this for my desktop background? We had a dump bed on ours that was once a tractor OTR....

    Well, it does kinda look like a bulldog that has been catching parked cars. Hood mirrors look like antenna on a bug.

    No difficulty here Sir! I'd love to drive a Superliner on a cross country trip. Go old school, no air conditioning, no cell phone, certainly no GPS, just me, the truck, and an atlas. Finding a payphone may be an issue though.

    Maybe someday...

    You are right, no pay phones. They went away quick too.

    No GPS is fine however having one is a bonus, pretty much leaves the dispatcher out of your hair.

    We had air in ours. Of a sort. 55mph with vents open and windows down...
