Not Car Crazy

[wifpd4]

Been working on a pickup truck that is driving me nuts, so I took some time off this morning to visit some....real trucks.

I-80 Truck stop is one of the larger, if not the largest, truck stop along Interstate 80 in Iowa. Usually 800 parking spaces for semis. Today the lot is filled with show trucks of all shapes, sizes, configurations and ages.













The next truck is the "Bandag Bandit" is powered by a 12V-71T twin turbocharged, 1,300 horsepower Detroit Diesel with an Allison HT-750-5 speed automatic. It has set a speed record of 150.918 MPH at Bonneville.

Do not have your kids pump their arms trying to get this guy to honk his hornsssssss.



I'll stop complaining about the time it takes to detail and go back to my little ole pick'um truck.

Very Cool. There is some serious $$$$$ invested in those rigs!

Good golly that's a lot of chrome - and a lot of shine! That livestock trailer is incredible and makes you wonder if a pig has ever seen the inside of it. Great stuff, David, thanks for sharing.

Wow! Those monsters look awesome. I can't imagine the effort to detail them. I guess they use up products in gallon size in no time! Thanks for sharing.

Very cool! Being a tractor trailer driver for quite a few years I could only imaging driving one of those rigs! Thanks for sharing!

Oh my goodness...and to think I thought modifying my car was expensive... I can only imagine how much money has been put into those trucks! Thanks so much for sharing!
