    :biggrin_2554: uh..... because it's a very real threat? Jeez.... you haven't been on the road very long if you don't worry about this. I'm always on the look out for madmen with guns.

    I mean really.... just watch the news. Several times a week there are explosions in truckstops from maniacs shooting at the trucks.

    But all that is nothing compared to the zombie/vampire threat. They will get you while you attention is focused on your tanks being shot. Just remember, you heard it here first.

    You know how hard it is to start a cold engine. Diesel takes alot of spontaneous heat to ignite. The cylinder temperature is around 1400 degrees at normal operating temp.

    Ok look y'all DO AN OLD GUY A FAVOR and stop--there are so few places me and my weak heart can sleep anymore--and with all this new cvsa crackdown etc...I gotta stop sometime! I'm too old for this running all the time stuff--and I DON"T SLEEP VERY WELL AS IT IS!--now instead of sleeping with one eye open--I gotta sleep with both open!--Since this thread was started--every door closing I hear sounds like a round going in the chamber!!
    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP--I'm exhausted--I can't sleep anywhere that doesn't have a armed guard very close---my hair's falling out!--my gums are bleeding--I'M begging you---have MERCY!!!!
