    I think that depends on what part of the country you’re in.

    NEITHER! Freightliner! You should know better Dave. Volvo is going to leave you parked alongside of the road in a rainstorm.

    Freightliner century with the aftermarket black tape covered headlights. Backed in next to one and I would hear the air dryer pop, then 3 seconds later I'd hear the compressor kick on. Constant *pshhh* then *burrrrrrrrr*...I fired my truck up and cranked it up to 1,100

    Hey those are fighten words!
    I’ll have you know I have a 2007 Columbia.
    And I don’t have any air leaks or a broken hood.
    Although I do have a big dent in my chrome bumper where Tribe backed in to it in that freaking god awful flying J in Winchester VA. last week.
    I guess they don’t teach GOAL at Tribe?

    WOW I didn’t know that.
    I guess that makes my 2007 Columbia a sought after rare collector truck like an old 359 peterbilt?
    I’m riden proud in the seat today!!
    Thanks Dave!
    I always wanted to drive one of those trucks that were the envy of the highway.
    And now I’ve got one!
    I’m not sure if I will be able to come on the forum anymore and associate with you drivers that drive just every day trucks lol.

    Lowers air ride seat to the floor.
    “You mean I don’t have a sought after collector truck that everyone wants”?
    Aw Dave say it ain’t so.
    Walks away head down kicking at pebbles in front of him.
