    You drive a Volvo - it's just a short little stubby one! Lol

    I figured the Volvo I shift would be a push button

    They have the option for either a dash mounted push button shifter or seat mounted shift knob.

    I think most of the button shifters are ordered by vocational customers as they use a lot of Allison autos and those had push button shifters.

    Love it. It's basically the same truck as I've had but with some smart updates like the LED interior lighting etc.

    The I shift and disc brakes are the icing on the cake.

    over the decades i learned,have been doing it for that long,to drive to the right of the lane itself.think of it as driving as close to the white line as possible on two lanes.This WILL allow for more time to avoid that car or big truck that will be driving almost in your lane if not in your lane while coming around corners or even straight roads.it gives more time to avoid that head on or side swipe.
