    I don't know about no "onder", but if ya hitch a right at the 1st blinking light, go past the place where Ol Man Smiths old grain silo used to be, bear left at the fork by the brown bull, and watch on your left you'll find where Mary Sue likes to take care of all the boys her daddy don't like.

    I keep my money in one front pocket and a Ruger LCP in the other. Guess which pocket the robber will get?

    If you're dropping to 14, there's no good reason I can think of not to go ahead and grab 84.

    There was a wind tunnel test back in the 90s that showed that the International 9670 and the Freightliner FLA cabover had less wind resistance than the popular conventionals back then.

    That makes sense. When I drove tanker for PIE we had a couple of FL cabovers. Everybody hated them so us guys on the extra board drove them a lot.
    They'd use almost exactly the same amount of fuel on any given run as the hoods.

    The "conventionals" then didn't equate to the conventional now. There were still several flat squared surfaces that equated to more wind resistance, vs the more curvy designs of today.
