Re: MY dream car?
the glow and go contingent has spoken
<br /><br />isuzu used to make a real sludge pot of a diesel, I used to drive one now and then for my boss, delivering tractors with the thing, lol, I think he liked torturing me, would always catch me trying to sneak the tractor onto a flatbed, noooo Ray, take the pup, see ya in a few hours, and walk off chuckling<br /><br />I actually LIKED the pup, but dragging the trailer and virtually any piece of equiptment was tantamount ot tying the thing to a post<br /><br />it took FOREVER to get that thing going, lol, but once rolling along, it was decent, fairly quiet (for a tiny chitbox diesel pickup), but over in philly, where I seemed to ALWAYS have to go, the bridge was an eternity to cross, the hills in the burbs are steeper than you can imagine for a town sixty miles from the atlantic ocean<br /><br />but it never broke, always started right up, ran forever on a tank - I got nearly 50 MPG at a steady 55 coming back up from cape may (I was curious, so I topped it off in the cape and once back at the shop, 49.7, lol, no wonder he always wanted me to use the little heap<br /><br />MY fave was the 1800 LoadStar IH crew cab wrecker, had the old IH school bus front, big ol wrecker, gas job that made that roaring International sound, loved it, had a 392 that guzzled gas by the barrel, but would pull an 18 wheeler stuck in mud out with the granny gear, always had to bull winch em out with the diesel wrecker, but it was a single screw<br /><br />oh yeah<br /><br />MY fave truck?<br /><br />I love the M class Mercedes too, its perfect.<br /><br />but I would have to try out that big Lexus first, ive driven the lexus V-8 in LS 400 form, and it is a PHENOMINAL engine, in a competent SUV chassis like the 470, I bet its one sweet ride<br /><br />
