What is the attraction with peterbilts

I have not read this whole thread, so forgive me if it has been answered this way.

If I see a good looking woman..........That is how I see truck makes A, B, C and D.

If I see a good looking woman and she is wearing a great dress and has a great pair of stiletto heels on.........Now that's
how I see my peterbilt

very easy to understand!

 

class does pay but peterbilt is below class and throwaway freightliners will standup longer than a peterbilt

 

The guys you see driving Peterbilts are the same ones wearing their letter jackets 20 years after they graduate high school blabbering about how their football team would've won the state championship if only coach would've put them in... They also tend to hang around people younger than themselves and tell stories of how truly great they are.

OK, rant over. Carry on....

 

I wasn't into sports when I was in high school. In fact, I was somewhat of a nerd, and still am now. Even during high school, I was driving a semi for a farmer and a rancher. The farmer had an R-model and the rancher had a 379.

 

Sure.........

 

whats a peterbilt ??








kidding.......nothing looks as sweet as a flat top pete....

 

Now the R models....I'll argue till my death that they were the best truck ever built. Not much for creature comfort, but never let ya down eithet

 

I'm 62 your 27, I've owned trucks over 30 years, you 5 years as a trucker. I've driven over 3.5 million miles on the 3 different peterbilts I have owned. The longevity of a truck is how the truck is maintained. Given lots of TLC your freightliner will last as long as a pete, but the pete looks like class from the day it came off the line.

 

Trying to think of the plastic in an R model........ I remember, the lens on the dome light. Back when mack built a tank.
