    Absolutely.

    I can't drive a truck that the mirrors are not mounted on the doors. When I hit retreat my left door cracks immediately. Talk bout lookin not cool in that W9 I pedaled for a bit.

    I’ve driven several where it seems like it drops so fast it’s should shatter in the door when you hit the air switch. Late 80s early 90s models.

    One of the ….ahem.... gentlemen in the European thread thinks it is preposterous to have such a narrow cab. Maybe it's just what you learn on, but I always felt that I had a bit better feel for everything in my 359. Of course mine didn't have power steering, so my left elbow got a lot more "feel" from the road.

    They go down fast, but kinda slow on the up swing. But still says 80’s large car.

    I got the innards to make mine electric. The way the air ones work down got me in trouble. I hadn't burnt log pages in a day or 2 and had it on my mind so I laid em on the dash. Forgot and peeled out. Bout the time it hit me was when they zoomed out the right hand window. Where the hell that Texas Tahoe come from I've no idee but he didn't think it was funny
