"one of these day's I wanna run the wheels right off... a greyhound
bus..." I think that is Red Sovine isn't it?
The oldtime truckdriver's lament. Back when men were men, and the US
dominated the world. NO whiny wusses like we have now.
nothing makes you feel as good as an old spicer 4 or 5 speed with an 6 or
8v71 behind you. When you get it down its like butter.

I recall the fellow who drove the Inglewood City Lines bus I took to and
from high school. An old diesel with a 4-speed, non-synchro transmission.
He had to double-clutch every shift and did a very good job of it.
