    What is not to love!!

    I just wish the life spans were closer to humans.

    Though they do teach valuable life lessons!

    Just enough to look kinda cool.
    Moving a 380 loader tomorrow morning up to the hills, it just pokes over the trailer so I guess I’m getting an oversized pilot car. Always something new for me.

    Good Luck be safe !!

    I have had a few escort drivers that were completely useless .

    That was about 40 years ago I hope they have improved .
