A combination of big-eyed, 1960s-style girls with huge chromed trucks is simply unbeatable. Combining glamour and class with the brute force of a Peterbilt -- See it all @ Dark Roasted Blend: Girls & Trucks! Part 1

[Which leaves us hope for "Girls & Trucks! Part 2,3,4,5...." ]

Ahh, the iconic Pete 379. For other truck drivers this is like the 1970s Caddy El Dorado, back in the day. Big, flashy, and the ergonomics of an East-German washing machine. They will last forever.

You pay more for a Peterbilt, they last longer, but they are the last maker to update the interior features. For comfort, and it's being driven 8-14 hours per day, 300 plus days a year, ride comfort is my primary consideration. You can't beat a Volvo for "living" in the truck. But you can't beat a Pete for making money while going a million miles before overhaul.
