First genners must be nuckin' futs

You know I'm right about this.

Actually it's kind of funny, to me at least, when you step back and take a 10,000 mile view of a lot of our threads...most of our trucks creak, grunt, groan, vibrate, cough, sputter, and oh yes, shimmy, and make every other noise imaginable to man.
Frame parts crack, shear, rust out, fall off.
Tires shake, brakes stick, dash lights stay on then black out without warning, the cabs sometimes take on water like a camel, door seals leak, and heaters don't heat.
Yet we still love em when that Cummins breathes to life!! We put all the rest of the faults out of our mind after that first shot of black smoke and we're gone!!

We are truly a bunch of nuckin' futs!!
