minutes and
we were in 4th, and I was telling him he should slow down. I do not have the
words to describe the look on his face, for those moments he controlled the big
wheel and relived so many memories. "Man, this baby sure runs good" he said,
over and over. It was the best time he and I have EVER spent together, and will
remain the best memory I will ever have of this truck. If you would like to
see a short video of a man in his element, email me and I'll send you a clip.
Thanks for "listening".
