    That's why you always tell them you're going for ice cream

    I noticed it's a 9400 international. Lol very 2008. I have only been on for 2 years. The Jedi night stick is pretty cool. Granted this should be a record year.

    Probably not a safe bet. The people who die from COVID are basically high risk uninsurable folks with lots of preexisting conditions. However, I have a nephew that is an actuary and will see if the risks factors have changed.

    Well now I am once again psychologically and emotionally afraid to go out because we might get the new virus. I feel that I'm entitled to gaverment paid retraining and schooling, and all my bills should be paid by them until my schooling is complete. Anything else would be unfair.

    Lots of interior chrome available too. Comes in handy when the originals break. I’ve got chrome a/c vents, yet to install them, Not a big fan of reflections off the dash that need constant cleaning. But the a/c vents, and cup holders are cost efficient and they’re CHROME!!!! Win win!!!

    Lol, I’ve already been corrected, Thank You!! When I get out of my normal loop, it’s easy to get confused. Wake up, Look around, and think “ Where the hell am I”??

    . I’m sure not much has changed because there’s been no significant change in the death rate. The big picture doesn’t support the panic narrative.

    It extends a little bit more than shown. The butt is magnetic to help us find meteorites to make even more LS money. Still 65/35 split

    Oh No. I know my Coronados. I considered a 99 Century in 2000. They were a new Truck at the time. It was $5000 less, and they got .5 mpg better mpg. Considering resale and ease of repairs, I bought a 99 Classic. Very happy with the decision. So much so, I didn’t hesitated to replace it with another when I wrecked it in 08. I’ve had this Classic since then. Total miles put on both since 2000, over 2 million. I like the FLDs especially the Classics. In 2000 the most common Truck on the road was a white Classic. Mainly because Swift had bought a bunch of white ones. I like the Coronados. Definitely better quality all the way around. I really don’t think the Century was much of an upgrade from a FLD. FLDs were great Trucks. Good mpgs, cheap parts. The first Fleet conventionals, after the cabover disappeared. They were hard to beat, economically. The Century was made to compete with the KW T600 and the new T2000, for mpgs. T600s with a Detroit especially were the best for mpg’s.The T2000 even better.
