All right, this thing is getting out of hand. These pavement-sniffing
trucks are totally flavour-oriented, meaning they are somebody's concpt
of the ultimate version of a truck. Bloody "HOORAY" for them and all
those who think this is competely rediculuous. I happen to think they
are cool based on originality and "trick" parts and ideas.

We do need more Daks represented, however.

Hey Rich, I betcha my last donut that the driver of the maroon chebby
with the blower would have time for a smoke and a beer waiting for you
at the end of the 1/4 mile. No other claims, just this one when you
reply dude
