How long until the cab smells like sweaty ?

Long time. Feeder keep that climate control humming.

Reminds me of yrs ago, when still heavy equipment operator. Got a new Cat 621 Scraper in. Young guy says to seasoned vet standing nearby, looking non-impressed, "Isn't this NICE?". Old guy, who's been thru, probably HUNDREDS of these in his years, retorts, "It's still WORK!!!!"

Lol my brother in law runs a dozer. Few weeks ago it was bitter cold. I said I bet you were back on the paver in this cold weather.

He said nah I get to work 30 minutes early to start warming up the cab.

If you've never driven an automatic before. It'll take awhile before you stop smacking your left foot onto the floor looking for the clutch.

Never did use the clutch, 'cept for stopping or backing. Even on rides. Told em, "I don't use clutch". Their smug response was, "Well then, if you snag a gear, we'll have to write you up". Me..."I don't care. But when it's YOUR turn to drive and you snag a gear while USING clutch...I'll have to write YOU up".

Never did snag a gear. Them...do you have to ask?

I really hope I never get an auto.. I'd be sad..

Noticed tonight that the AM/FM CD player has a USB port and an auxiliary port on the front of the radio which will be great for my XM radio.

My package car has a cup holder....oh the luxury.

I have a mack with those fenders and with a pin puller there's no problem.

Hopefully if it's an automatic it downshifts to 11th before 50mph or good luck on the hills. The auto Mack's are terrible.

It was a little doggy on a couple of hills I travel here on I-40. But sure beats what I've been driving the last couple of years.....
