Re: Detroit Diesel Thread

Buzzin' Dozen. I haven't watched tv for weeks but last night I flicker 'er on and came across Ice Road Truckers. Haven't seen that show in years. The episode took place when there was an early thaw from unusually higher temps. The one feller was pulling doubles, was tight on time due to the thaw, and had to run through a stretch that doubles aren't allowed. No time to make two runs out of it he hooked up with that "King of Obsolete" guy (I'm surprised we've never started a thread on him). He was running a Louisville obviously powered by Detroit. Made the show 10x better hearing that rig buzz on by
