Where is everyone #5

Yep.

Got a supermodel wife whose whole purpose in life is to worship the ground I walk on. Bruce Lee faked his death just to teach me martial arts. I can just look at a man and kill him now. I am secretly a billionaire, but I am driving for US Express because I am bored. If I need a ride, I can make a call and they will send A Black Hawk chopper to pick me up. My grandfather found the fountain of youth, and moved it into his back yard in 1690. I am the chosen one, I am the Messiah...hey man, can I borrow a couple dollars, right now, they're counting money at my 37 banks and I don't want to mess up their count.

 

Sounds like one of the fellas I ran into at our Melton terminal back in Birmingham Alabama when I was doing recoveries...

 

Eat like a king for 8 bucks at a Waffle House near you....

 

C'mon Heavy Jr

 

I like your intentional miss-spellings.

 

OMG! I just had coffee come out my nose, thanx fellas.

One of my favorites is the one that starts out with "Me and my Pa rebuilt the engine in my first truck on the side of the road..."

The truck and the engine vary, the state is usually GA or AL, and it's always "Pa", never a dad or a father. Heard that one at least a thousand times all over the country.

 

Smart man. Dad worked with a guy in the 1990s that had a 1984 4370 with a stand up 60 inch painted maroon. He also had a mid 80s Peterbilt cabover double bunk 110. I’m not the jealous type, but cmon!

 

That's pretty cool because not many people keep that stuff. Neat to see what it was like new. Hard to find if someone wanted to restore.

Thanks

 

Back in the early 2000s, I knew a hand name Jack. Jack would tell stories of fighting in WWII, fought in Korea, VietNam. Retired from the Secret Service and retired sheriff's deputy.

Six: How old are you, Jack?
Jack: 60
Six. If you fought in WWII, you couldn't have been older than 4. (thought I had him...)
Jack: I was a child spy...

During that same time, I was driving a twinturbo Z. I pulled into an Advance Auto and this kid working there comes out to look at my car.
Kid: Nice car.
Six: Thanks
Kid: We had a car like that...a 3000GT. but we traded it in on a Mustang.
Six: I'd rather have the 3000GT.
Kid: But this Mustang has 900 HP from the factory
Six: Turbo?
Kid: All motor
Six: Really. Where is it, I would really like to see it
Kid: My mom drives it to work every day
Six: Go lie to someone else, boy.
Kid: I'm not lying!
(customers start laughing)
Six: Yes you are. You have no idea how horsepower works. You're making stuff up and throwing big numbers out. Go lie to someone else
(customers rolling with laughter...I guess they knew him)

 

My dad’s 1985 had that same interior in the cab part, except the gearshift was the new road ranger squared off style. Seeing those plush style seats bring back memories, I used to crank that Big Cam up and listen to the motor, watching smoke come out of the straights.

I wish I knew what happened to it.
