Changes are coming that will hopefully bring back a few hours of available time for me to pick this blog back up and continue with it.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For right now, let me share some photos from the 4th of July. These trucks have 4 wheels, but what mighty wheels they are! :) I also have a couple of links on the bottom for a couple of videos I took of these trucks. It was awesome!!<br />
<br />
I'm very much hoping to be back to my 18-wheeler photos very soon, and I can't wait.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope you all had a happy 4th. Stay safe out there!</div>

<br />
Today I went looking for vintage Mack trucks. The ones that caught my attention were the ones that were overgrown and "left behind", so I decided to put up a small photo collection of "forgotten vintage Mack trucks", photos that I've located around on the web.<br />
These trucks used to be the big deal in their heyday, they were the new trucks of their time at some point and now they're overgrown and abandoned in various barns and remote areas, just like today's "big deal" trucks will be at some point in the future.<br />
<br />
Anyway ..... they were glamorous in their time, but like any old movie stars, they always deserve another turn in the limelight ..... :)<br />
<br />

So it was a regular Wednesday evening, we were driving around trying to figure out where we<br />
wanted to eat, when a sea of glistening chrome appeared before me. At first I was like "oh cool trucks" and then I started paying attention to their trailers. Turns out NASCAR is in town!<br />
<br />
I'm not a big NASCAR fan, but I AM a big 18-wheeler fan (in case anybody missed the memo), and a real-life super-collection of NASCAR haulers definitely is worth putting off dinner for!<br />
I was in hog heaven as I walked around and looked at all these trucks!! What a nice sight it was!<br />
<br />
It became clear to me that most NASCAR haulers seem to prefer the International Lonestar, because there was an army of those! Obviously a stylish and attention-grabbing ride, so that makes sense.<br /><br /><b>FAVORITE NASCAR DRIVER PICKED: </b><br />

Favorite NASCAR driver? I never had one, since I am not a NASCAR devotee, but I guess my pick for NASCAR favorite would have to be based on these trucks. <br /><br />Despite the flaws very little design on the trailer (yet), and the glaring Toyota logo (I'm a Ford girl myself ...), I'd have to go with <b>#19 Mike Bliss </b>as that was the only KENWORTH hauler out of the bunch!<br />

<br /><br /><br /><br />But you better watch it Mike, best not get rid of that Kenworth! The "Bass Pro" trailer for Tony Stewart is a close second, simply based on favorite shop and he also has a cool NASCAR Peterbilt hauler -- a very close 2nd choice ;-) ) <br />

I just loved their "Race Car box", it's very clever, simple and clean design, love the optical illusion of the folded cardboard box with the car in it AND the detail of the shipping label was a very cool highlight!<br />

Still .... bugs and food don't normally mix BUT the trailer looks cool, we'll let it slide ;-)<br /><br />
Anyway ... no matter how you pick your NASCAR driver or what sponsor you are a fan of, here are the best photos I took of the NASCAR haulers from Ontario Mills, CA! Click away & Enjoy!!<br />(Note: Due to my lack of NASCAR knowledge, the below drivers/sponsors were mostly looked up in Google, so I sincerely hope I did not get any of them wrong, but if I did, my apologies!)<br /><br /><br />

I love pics of old trucks, what better opportunity than to join the #tbt wave! :)<br />
<br />
Today I went on the hunt for old Kenworth trucks, and I found this oddity that I figured I would re-post it. There is no need for me to re-write history, so I'm just going to add the article below. <br />

The theoretical advantage to gas turbines, besides their ability to swallow up a wide range of fuels, is their relative lightness and compactness compared to other internal combustion engines (gasoline, diesel) of the same output. Boeing decided to illustrate that advantage with this press photo we recently scrounged up, dated April 10, 1950, showing one of its 175hp gas turbines installed in a contemporary Kenworth conventional. The caption reads:</div>

Gas Turbine and Diesel Truck Installations Show Vividly Simplicity of New Boeing Engine</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: inherit; line-height: 22.5px;">
Identical Kenworth Motor Truck Corporation units, powered by the new Boeing Airplane Company 175-horsepower gas turbine (left) and a diesel power plant of similar rating (right) are disclosed in this just-released photograph. The new Boeing gas turbine, which weighs only 200 pounds, has been undergoing road test near Seattle in the ten-ton truck for the past month. As installed experimentally, the Boeing turbine occupies only 13 percent of the space normally taken up by a conventional gasoline or diesel engine of equal power. The new engine operated on the same principle as the ship steam turbine and will burn kerosene, diesel oil or gasoline.</div>

It’s no surprise Boeing chose to install the engine into a Kenworth: Both companies called the Seattle area home, and Kenworth was put to work building B-17s and B-29s during World War II. In his book on Kenworth history, Doug Siefkes noted that Boeing started to develop the engine to fulfill a Navy contract, and they subsequently suggested Kenworth give it a shot. The diesel, by comparison, weighed 2,700 pounds, so the turbine represented a significant weight savings.</div>

To test it out, Kenworth sent the truck on a road trip from Canada to Mexico, then sent it on test runs from Seattle to Los Angeles, working with West Coast Fast Freight. According to Siefkes, the results were dismal:</div>
<blockquote style="background: url(http://assets.blog.hemmings.com/wp-content/themes/hemmings_2014/css/images/quote.gif) 0% 0% no-repeat rgb(255, 255, 255); border-left-style: none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 18px; min-height: 50px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 60px;">
<div style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: inherit; line-height: 22.5px;">
The Seattle-Los Angeles run was taking four or five hours longer than usual. The turbine-equuipped truck put out too much exhaust, had poor acceleration, and was tough on clutches. Fuel economy, or lack of it, was another problem: The truck traveled only 1 mile per gallon. The project was scrapped.</div>
</blockquote>

Or, at least it was from the Kenworth side. Boeing continued to develop its gas-turbine engines over the next two decades and in 1961 even provided three 502-series gas-turbine engines to American-LaFrance for installation into its fire trucks.</div>

Here are some other photos I found when searching for the Kenworth Boeing Turbine engine, these are 1952 KWs:<br />

There are plenty of those! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Today I'll post this one with a trucker from Kentucky who most likely saved a policeman's life<br />
<br />
<img alt="accident-on-highway-YouTube-Trucker-David-Fredericksen" src="http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/accident-on-highway-YouTube-Trucker-David-Fredericksen.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">A trucker hero from Kentucky who saved a law enforcement officer from being strangled was one of three finalists named this month by the Goodyear Tire Company for its 2014 Highway Hero Award.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
Truck drivers are often the first responders to the scene of highway accidents and crimes. Clinton Blackburn, a driver from Morehead, put himself in harm’s way last March to help a jailer who had been transporting a prisoner.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
Blackburn was driving near Elizabethtown, Ky., when he observed a sheriff’s cruiser lurch toward the highway median and abruptly stop. He pulled up to investigate and noticed that the car’s driver side door was open. Inside, Spencer County jailer Darrell Herndon was being choked from behind by a prisoner who was leaning through the glass from the back seat.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 21px;">
Blackburn ran to the car, reached into the vehicle through its driver side door, and began struggling with the prisoner in an effort to free Herndon. During the melee, the prisoner pulled Herndon’s gun from its holster. Blackburn grabbed the barrel of the gun and pointed it toward the car’s dashboard.<a href="http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/trucker_gets_award-Goodyearphoto.jpg" style="color: #4db2ec; text-decoration: none !important;"><img alt="trucker gets award-Goodyearphoto" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-16121" src="http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/trucker_gets_award-Goodyearphoto-150x150.jpg" height="150" style="border: 0px; float: right; height: auto; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 21px; margin-top: 6px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="150" /></a><span style="text-align: center;"><br /><br />“The prisoner then tried to point the gun at Blackburn, who turned the weapon around and aimed it at the prisoner,” reports Goodyear. Herndon finally regained his composure and helped to subdue the man.</span></div>

<br />
This is an article I read that dates back to August 2014 so I don't know if these fundraising efforts are still going on, but I thought this was pretty cool. This truck was parked outside SafeCo field where they were accepting donations and book for the Page Ahead Children's literacy program for at-risk children.<br /><br />
PACCAR partnered with Page Ahead in 2007. For every run the Mariners batted in, PACCAR has made a donation to the Page Ahead program, and by the end of last season (2014), PACCAR had donated $600,000 to the charity. In addition to this, PACCAR employees have purchased and donated more than 17,500 children's books to the program.<br />
<br />
To read more about the Page Ahead program, visit www.pageahead.org<br />
<br />
SO ........ They are using the Kenworth T880 (AD Commercial truck of the Year!) for their Seattle Mariners truck and HERE are the photos ..... no matter what team you're rooting for, this is a pretty badass truck!<br />

<br />
Scott sent me a pic of his, done for him, his dad and brother! I'm very partial to this one as it says "Viking" and me being Norwegian and 100% Viking, how can I not love it! :)<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://on-msn.com/18I1B0n">World's biggest driving machines</a></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b></b></span><br />
<br />
To read more about the machines, cool facts like weight and height (very interesting reading!), just click the link above, it will take you to the full MSN article. I wanted to post the truck pics here. <br />

<br />
Like I stated somewhere else, I surely hope that desperation would force humans to think of other solutions if this was to happen but it probably wouldn't happen until we were all dead or nearly dead so ... there you go. We need trucks!<br />
<br />

It was excited to see it, it was a great sight to see that big ole' train car on top of the Peterbilt truck, which was moving at a snail's pace of course. I was also frustrated because since I was driving, I was not able to photograph this sight. It's one of those moments where I wish I had a camera attached to my car and could just push a button when I see stuff like this.<br />
<br />
As I pulled in to work, I noticed that the train car had actually come from the business next door to ours, and there was a SECOND train car being loaded on to a truck. These two train cars have been there forever. I'm trying to find out where they went yesterday, but so far I've been unable to successfully search the web for the removal of these train cars.<br />
Anyway, during my break at work, I walked across the street and watched the event for a few minutes, along with quite a few other spectators. I was able to shoot a few pics with my phone as they loaded the car on to the truck. <br />
<br />
Enjoy the photos. I will try to see if I can figure out where the cars went (and see if someone else got photos of the transport), but for now, the below is all I have ....<br />
<br />
I think this pretty much proves that big rigs ARE the king of transport ..... don't you all agree? Short of blowing these train cars up, how else could they possibly have been moved if it wasn't for the trucks .... :) <br />

<br />
Someone posted this on the 18wheelbeauties Facebook page, and I want to pass it on to all truckers that happen to swing by this blog. (And if you're *not* a trucker and are reading this, please do feel free to pass it along anyway.)<br />
<br />

<br />
Don't forget to file your taxes on time. Keep on trucking! :)Lailahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09317203014767517264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515361569940938323.post-60865861310623757772013-05-23T16:01:00.000-07:002013-05-23T16:01:22.345-07:00That feeling of Safety!I wanted to write a post about safe trucks and trucks/truck companies that I personally trust when I see their logos rolling down the freeway. Whenever I see these trucks, they have established a certain trust factor with me that makes me believe their drivers are safe, reliable and courteous.<br />
<br />
The fact that I notice these companies and their good behavior on the road made me think they deserve some recognition, even if it's only among the readers of this humble truck blog :)<br />
<br />
<i>Disclaimer: Before I start posting pictures in this post, I want to say that this post is based solely on personal experience and observations, it is not based on any surveys or statistics of any kind ... </i><br />
<br />
<i>First of all, just because a trucking company is not depicted in this post does *not* mean they are not safe and reliable. There are plenty of other trucks out there that are just that!<br /><br />Secondly, I know there are plenty of safe independent drivers and unmarked trucks out there whose company names I don't know. Also, I reside in Southern California and there are probably a lot of logistics companies I have never seen that operate in other parts of the country. Again --- they are probably safe and reliable, but if I haven't seen them, I won't know to post about them. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>[End disclaimer]</i><br />
<br />
So .... onward with my post and to my point.<br />
<br />
I commute a lot. Every single day I'm out there on the freeway. I see a lot of driver behavior, 18-wheelers included. I'm very impressed actually. As much traffic as we have coming through the freeways every day, in general, most drivers are very safe and very good. And thankfully so, otherwise we would spend a lot more time sitting in traffic than we already do.<br />
<br />
Truck drivers in general know to drive safely and are very courteous, even in situations where I myself might have blown a fuse. However, I have also seen some very unsafe truck drivers, which scares me, just because of the size and weight of their vehicle. No matter what, if a person gets in a fender bender with a big rig, just due to the sheer nature of its size, it will most likely end badly and be very costly, so unstable trucks/truck drivers scares the crap out of me. I usually step on the gas and dart past them as fast as I can. <br />Accidents happen to the best of drivers once in awhile, but I do believe that when you are responsible for a vehicle the size of an 18-wheeler, you are definitely required to be even more careful and levelheaded than most drivers.<br />
<br />
As a rule, most trucking companies seem to be conscious about hiring safe drivers. I've had friends apply to some of these companies and been denied due to some ding in their driving record. Obviously I sympathize with my friends who didn't get the job, but I applaud the logistics companies for sticking to their safety rules and regulations. Their name and reputation is at stake, they want to ensure that the men and women behind the wheel of their trucks with <i>their </i>logo will do their company justice by representing them well across the country.<br />
<br />
So .... below are some companies that I've taken notice of and I feel that their trucks are safe to be around whenever I see them in motion. Again, this is based only on what I see around here, I *know* there are more safe drivers out there than the handful I will post below. <br /><br /><i><b>Thanks to ALL of our safe truck drivers for your effort in keeping the freeways accident free.<br /></b></i><br />

AND ---- for showing utmost self control, driving around with gigantic burgers and crispy french fries on the side of your truck all day long must make a person constantly hungry ....<br />McDonalds and Carl's JR trucks especially, as their truck ads are particularly tempting!<br /><br />So kudos to food truckers for safe delivery!</div>

I went to Las Vegas last week. The 15 freeway has a lot of eye candy for a truck enthusiast, so I thought I'd snap a few pictures and share!<br /><br />Now ... these are the average transport trucks. Not show trucks, just regular work horses. Personally, these are the trucks that keep me entertained every day as I commute to and from work, they give me something to look at besides the bumper of the car in front of me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here it is, a small tribute to the every day non-fancy trucks that so faithfully roll up and down the freeway, day out, day in ..... :) </div>

<br />
A friend of mine posted this on Facebook, I thought I'd repost it, not only on the FB page but here on my blog.<br />
<br />
I can't say how many times I see fellow 4-wheelers speed up so trucks cannot merge in front of them (despite trucks having blinkers on), or follow so close, the truck driver can't possibly see that they are there.<br />
<br />
OR .... the classic one is, I'll slow down to let a big rig merge in front of me and a 4-wheeler swoops into the spot that was saved for the truck and almost causes an accident!! (And it's no thanks to the driver of the small car that those accidents were avoided).<br />
<br />
Being a truck driver is no doubt a hard profession, as well as a much needed profession... how else would we receive our merchandise. Why not contribute to making a trucker's life a little easier by following the mantra in the picture above ..... Give them room. Show some respect.<br />
<br />
Just a thought .....<br />

<br />
None of these are 18-wheelers (yet ....) but I found this really cool anyway and wanted to post it. I found no way of embedding the actual slideshow into the blog, so below are 25 images of cars that were drawn by LED lights. The artists (Marc Cameron and Mark Brown) used a LED Key ring to paint these cars in the air.<br />
<br />
(If you click the title link, it will take you to the slide show page..... in the even the pictures below take awhile to load).<br />

Enjoy!<br />

<em>I have posted this before and I'll post it again and again and again .... I see so many stupid moves during my commute every morning, I'm not sure what some drivers think they're dealing with when it comes to big rigs.</em><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>Anyway ..... below is a post about trucks and blind spots. Truckers already know this, but I hope this'll reach a few more 4-wheel driving individuals each time I post it.</em><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em><br /></em>
<em>###############################################</em><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em><br /></em>
I want to dedicate a lot of this blog space to traffic safety when it comes to cars & big rigs.<br />
75% of all car-big rig accidents are caused by the driver of the car, not the truck driver and that’s a stat I believe.<br />
I commute a lot. I drive about 35 miles each way to and from work, 5 days a week, and boy do I see some stupid driving, especially when it comes to small cars vs. semis. (And mind you, ALL cars are small compared to big rigs….)<br />
In this post, I want to write about blind spots.<br />
<br />
Blind Spots.<br />
<br />
All cars have them. There is nothing as scary as readying yourself to change lanes, you think that the lane next to you is wide open and then all of a sudden you spot a sucker that has been lurking in your blind spot for the past few minutes. It’s enough to give a person a heart attack.<br />
<br />
On a regular car, the blind spots are few & they are small. We also have the luxury of being able to turn our heads and look over our shoulder before we merge, to make sure nobody is riding in our blind spot. A truck driver can’t do that. If he turns his head and looks over his shoulder, he’ll see the back of his cab!<br />
<br />
A big rig has a lot of blind spots, and some of these blind spots do in fact span across several freeway lanes. Let’s go through them.<br />
<br />
1. Front of the Truck: This blind spot ranges out about 20 feet ahead of the semi. The driver won’t see you there. Merging in this close to a big rig can be fatal. Make sure you leave about 4 car lengths between your car and the big rig.<br />
<br />
<br />2. Rear of the Truck: About 30 feet directly behind the trailer and you should keep a distance of 25 car lengths. The problem is that when you drive behind a big rig, you can’t see what is going on ahead of you in traffic. You can only trust that the brake lights on the rig in front of you are working properly and that the truck driver is able to hit his brakes in time should something cause a sudden stop. If you are driving too close to the rear end of a big rig and a sudden stop happens, it too could be fatal.I suppose that if you are driving behind a big rig, which sometimes happens, especially on busy freeways, you should drive at a speed that will allow you to stop in time should a sudden stop occur.<br />
<br />
<br />3. Left Side of the Truck: a 3-lane span, starting at the end of the truck cab and running down the entire length of the truck. Passing on the left side of a big rig is the correct thing to do, however don’t linger. Make your passing a quick one so that you will be visible again to the driver as fast as possible.<br />
<br />
<br />4. Right Side of the Truck: Some trucks have a sticker on the back that says:<br /><br /><< <span style="color: #009900;">LEFT - Pass</span> ********* <span style="color: red;">RIGHT – Suicide</span> >><br /><br />This sticker isn’t for comedy or posted as a joke. Passing a big rig on the right had side could very well be the last thing you do in life. I don’t mean to be morbid, but that’s a fact. The blind spot on the right hand side of a big rig also fans out for about 3 lanes and runs the length of the truck, but this blind spot is a lot less forgiving than the one on the left.The truck driver may very well see you when you enter the blin<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ucclEPCeXGokyRYLeX86lAEVPvrMkHKs9kKANxkue44VqWxghJDUf7YLIZI0bic-x54McZFO_Qbs9l3Xc_yGfqRjNgOIv20tarB5nwgD7XGElsBiQfeuGCHFKMUvx0MUgDX2bvofTwx0/s1600-h/bigrig-blindspots.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311285546371104786" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ucclEPCeXGokyRYLeX86lAEVPvrMkHKs9kKANxkue44VqWxghJDUf7YLIZI0bic-x54McZFO_Qbs9l3Xc_yGfqRjNgOIv20tarB5nwgD7XGElsBiQfeuGCHFKMUvx0MUgDX2bvofTwx0/s400/bigrig-blindspots.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 400px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 285px;" /></a>d spot, but if you linger there and he no longer sees you, he could forget that you are there. If by any chance he has to make a sudden swerve to avoid a collision or an object in the lane, there is no chance he remember that you are still next to him if he can’t see you.<br />
<br />
I bring up the word “fatal” a lot because if you end up in an accident vs a big rig, the chances of<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtLoB88zrCiaOvGlpXQKztmnI-6NW-8fea4B8L6AQgptF8BS6qFoUlM_-2rAzP66h9iTHadRtz9XVVAPmcHZMyVFPheyVuOCYtxXP8m052Ez2mNhUR6u_YD223uN9MX3bJKZmGAqXol9Qu/s1600-h/bigrig-blindspots.JPG"></a> you walking away could be minimal. I read somewhere that 78% of small cars vs big rig accidents end in fatality. 78%! And these small cars are the ones I constantly see darting in and out of traffic, passing on the right, passing on the left, cutting off big rigs left and right (and everyone else for that matter). Seriously. You may think you’re the best driver in the world but be cautious when passing big trucks. Unpredictable incidents in the roadway happen a lot, and you want to be visible to a truck driver at all times so that if he does have to make a sudden move, he knows you’re there!<br />
<br />
So…blind spots. We all hate them. I’m sure truck drivers despise them. But they’re there. Just be aware of them. And don’t pass on the right!<br />

Oversize load, probably a PITA for the truck driver but it's quite fascinating to me what can actually be stacked and transported by big rigs. It beats me how trucks can even move under the weight of some of this cargo, and even more so, how the heck can a driver maneuver their vehicle with these kind of loads!</div>

Anyway .... I thought I'd scout the web for some interesting oversized cargo, so here we go .... Enjoy!</div>

I like to blog about specific trucks because I learn a lot about these trucks I write about, which was the initial reason for me starting this blog in the first place ... to learn about big rigs! (And boy have I ever!! Just by writing this particular article, I've learned what FEPTO is ;-)) hehe</div>
<br />
So, for a first featured truck today, I figured that since I made this bad boy the star of my new heading on my blog, I owe it some time in the spotlight! <br />This Kenworth C500 caught my attention, it looks nice and solid with it's big, clunky tires and smart design.<br />
As red and shiny as this one is, it would almost be a shame to put it to work, but that's what this truck was born to do so no doubt, it'll enjoy it! :)<br />The C500 is not a new model from Kenworth, however it has received a little makeover.<br />
<br />
The following information comes pretty much directly from the Kenworth C500 brochure. I tend to like to write things myself in this blog, but in this case, why reinvent the wheel (or regurgitate a perfectly good brochure).<br />

Again, I'm not affiliated with Kenworth in any way, I just like their trucks a lot, so I put them in my blog a lot :) I promise to vary it, I'll feature someone else's truck next time!<br />

<br />
The first one came from Angela. After consulting with a tattoo artist, he drew up this original tat for her: "Rubber duck meets Peterbilt" :)<br />
<br />

Another email came from Traci, who send me two pics of her tattoos, also Peterbilt (but no duck!:))<br />Love the detail, especially the bottom one.<br />

Thanks for sharing your truck tats, I love it! Anyone else with truck tattoos, feel free to email me, I love to see personally, and I think it's fair to say a very large percentage truck enthusiast are also fans of tattoos so we'd love to see more :-)</div>

The light show is a good finale, but I'm also intrigued by the surroundings (like the person running across the street, probably the fastest he has ever ran in his life ..... and the car bouncing off the car hauler in the end...)<br />

<br />
I realize I have been terrible at responding to comments made on my blog posts, and for that I sincerely apologize.<br />
<br />
I love hearing from everyone who read my posts, and all your comments are very positive and some very informative, I truly appreciate it and I enjoy kicking back and reading them all! There's just not enough hours in my days lol, in addition to blogging, there's that pesky 9-5 job that gets in the way a lot ;-)<br />
<br />
I promise to be more on top of communicating with my readers, especially since we all share a big enthusiasm for vehicles that roll on more than 4 wheels :-) I truly enjoy looking for pictures and stories to share with the truck enthusiasts out there, and I need to make more time for fun projects like this one.<br />
<br />
It's a little late for a New Years resolution but ..... then again, those don't really last long, do they?<br />
<br />
Thanks everyone for reading and posting, it's great to hear from you.<br />
<br />
<br />
And now ... off to ponder what to put up here tomorrow.... I'm guessing something big rig related ;-)<br />
<br />
(And in honor of resurrecting this blog, I've changed my header picture .... beautiful Kenworth C500 ... haven't actually seen it on the road so I stole a photo from www.kenworth.com ... hope they don't mind!)<br />
