Yeah, but that Eagle you're driving was built and fucked up with pride here in South Western Ontario!:giggedy:
 
A few years ago I would've written International off, but they invested a huge amount of money(Ford designers) in styling, and they've really made a comeback from the overly square(literally) styles they were selling. The key was in not trying to copy the classic truck styling of KW and Pete, but to take a whole different direction, which really shows a lot of retro styling.

Yes indeed. :gaga:
 
Inter-trash-inal? We buy at least a dozen of those every year and it's an absolute miracle if one of them makes it a year without spending 6 months of it bouncing around between our mechanical guy and international. The last bunch we got, 3 of them had the steering boxes fall out, only one bolt holding them in and no evidence of the others even being installed. I figure the only reason corporate keeps buying them is because they like the monumental maintenance write offs provided by these steaming piles.

Oh, okay........yeah, I remember that one. I'm a Stephen King fan, but that's one of his short stories that I haven't read. Must try and find that one at the video store......
Thanks Matt! :bravo:
 
The original story is called "Trucks" and it's in a short story collection called "Night Shift" and it's still available. I like him too, he's awesome.

Thanks for the info, Matt. I have a feeling I may have that book somewhere. I know I had a book of his that was all short stories, and "Night Shift" sounds very familiar. Question now is.......where the heck is it? :hmmm:
