Greetings, Zod and Kurch.
I hope you are both well today. 😀 😛
Zod, I've been meaning to ask you what kind of a truck you are driving now.

Hi mils. I am well. 🙂 How are you my friend?

 

[milagros317]

Glad to hear that, Kurch. I'm fine today and we had one more day of pleasant weather. 😀 😛

 

[General Zod]

I am fine my friends. I drive a Freightliner now Mils. It has a 10 speed manual transmission. I am glad to be away from the automatic truck transmission

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Aha, I found their website. 😀 😛 http://www.freightlinertrucks.com/
Thanks for the information, my friend. I haven't driven a vehicle with a manual transmission since 1970 when my brother sold his VW bug. 😛

You're quite welcome my friend 😀 I love seeing women driving a VW bug.The older style that is 😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

VW bugs have always been very popular. 😀

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Not many of those older style VW bugs still on the road. 😀 😛

 

[General Zod]

I see them on the road from time to time 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

They were very popular indeed during the first oil crisis in 1973.
😀 😛

The site I buy clips of women who get their cars stuck have some VW Beetle clips.One lady spun the rear wheels in snow so much,she spun into the mud underneath

😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

I had a friend who had a bright yellow VW bug. Man you could see that thing for miles. 😛

 

[milagros317]

Those VW bugs got stuck easily because they were so light. 😀 😛

Yes when the winds kick up here it could be a problem navigating them. LOL

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

They had no radiator because their little engines were air-cooled. 😀 😛

I am surprised air cooled engines weren't more popular 😀 😛

It sure was.That Beetle has been around since WW 2 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Yes, the engine was in the back so there was no drive-shaft. The trunk was in the front. 😀 😛

It was popular in SoCal. Was like the perfect hippie car. LOL

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

And for a hippie commune, the VW minibus was the perfect vehicle. 😀 😛

 

[General Zod]

Remember the Kharman Gia from Volkswagen? 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Yes, I do. It had the same little engine as the VW bug but a fancier body. 😀 😛
