    When I gripe on here it normally hits me in the head with a bat.

    A ton of deals going right now..
    Like looking at a 16 Lonestarr, Yes I had to put two “R’s” cause it kept trying to capitalize all letters, for $49950!!
    I know how we came about with the ($39.99, 39.95!!) price looking to make it sound better than $50,000!!!

    I was just figure it has over 500k less miles, plus it’d fit to load more places and even should be lighter, so paid by hundred weight would be $250 more per week average in 5 days.
    I’m trying to talk myself out of it, due to the sickness... but you only live once right?

    As my grandfather used to say, “It doesn’t cost that much more to go first class, you just can’t stay there as long.”:cool:

    I put a “Cover-all” cover over my new seat to help from wearing it out as much, of course mine is not cloth and sitting on it when it’s 100+ in direct sunlight after a few minutes you’re cooked all I can think of is it’s “turn me over, I’m done on this side”

    The cover stopped the hot seat.

    Nope. I don’t think it was offered. I also opted out of heat.

    I sat in a $3000 minimizer seat with all the bells and hated it. It wasn’t comfortable.

    I bought it at Kenworth dealer. I joined some rewards program and got an additional $75 off. It was about $1000. Which sounds like so much until I sat in it. I think they retail at $1200 or so.

    I also had them fix a minor air line leak to the seat that had me adding air every few hours.

    Someone needs to toss a handful of roofing nails infront of guys like that.
