These two are great. Watch when you have time. This thread is for sharing 'Truck Videos' for others to enjoy. EDIT: I decided to change this to just 'Fun Videos'. Any kind of feel good videos are welcome. The idea is one that put a smile on your face, take you to a better place, better time, etc

^^^ Go back to 16:12 and check out the mini COE rig sneaking in. I saw that thing at the national ATHS show when it was in MD back in the '80s. When Peterbilt came out with the COE they built the 1/4(?) scale rig for promotion

P.I.E. brought back memories and I thought I had not seen one of those trucks in years and you used to see them everywhere so I looked them up.

Sounds like the typical case of being sold to corporate raiders over the years and finally succumbing in 1990

Great video! Loved the info.

Here's a non-truck video I want to share (when you get time). Merry Christmas!


One day you would realize you haven't seen a company's trucks on the road. Then another and another. The era of corporate buyouts didn't miss the trucking industry. I remember it was easy to get a truck stop shower, just claim you drove for PIE because they had so many drivers.

Here's a good one about how it was as a kid for members around my age. We watched as the world became more regulated and common sense waned. I always say I grew up in the pre-safety era. The common word spoken all over is, "We're lucky we survived". All in jest of course. It was great!!

Re: Fun Videos
 

You and I grew up in the same years. I think we had more fun with less than kids of later generations. Some would argue I know.

Re: Fun Videos
 

This may not be fun for anyone else but I got a kick out of it.

YouTube always has suggestions of recommended videos when you go on it and this popped up.

IT'S MY CAR!!! :lol:

The seller posted it when he was selling the car. It was just so strange to open up YouTube and see my own car on there. I guess it makes sense. Once it's on there it's on there,

Krazy little buggers aren't they? :lol:

Re: Fun Videos
 

I'd roll one. ;)

Tell that guy to get his pickers off your car! :lol: That's kind of freaky that there is a video of it, but all kinds of freaky things happen in the world.

What a great idea for teens to drive before getting a drivers license!

Re: Fun Videos
 

That's Jeremy Clarkson driving it. He along with Richard Hammond and James May did that English car show where they compare cars each week, the name escapes me at the moment, so it was a setup.

Re: Fun Videos
 

A fun element to this one from '81. How about that L.A. traffic?

Re: Fun Videos
 

Might be fun. Taco Smell!

Re: Fun Videos
 

Who could argue? We had all the fun. Proof was at the lunch table at school, where we compared all our battle wounds

This is a fun video for me. I posted it several years ago. Since this video she has gotten her drivers license, a ticket, totaled her first car (shes fine) and working on her second, lastly she is a HS Senior. Who knew grand kids could be so fun?

Dunno why the link posted this way, I tried a couple of ways ... Oh well, it still works.

Re: Fun Videos
 

I haven't even watched it yet and I know the one (hope I'm right). Is it the one in the red cycle car? What a great video to have. Now is the time (and beyond) you made that video for. Wait even more years. It's going to get more fun to watch!

First, I hope I was right. Now, I'll go check

Smokey and the Bandit

Love the Bandit!
Billy Bob Thornton said Smokey and the Bandit is a "southern documentary".
I believe he gets it. ;)

Remember HoJo's? Where did they go?

Re: Fun Videos
 

Been a long rime since I went to a HoJo, although to me there food was OK. Kinda like McD's. Your strarving and there is nothing much else open.

Re: Fun Videos
 

That was it. They were at the interstate exits, early Generica. I forgot about the fried clams. I think I used to get those. But it's the Orange Freeze that I can't forget. They managed to put a restaurant at every rest area on a toll road where they were the 'only' choice. That's how I remember them. In the '60s in the outer suburbs of DC in MD there was the Wheaton Plaza, the big place to go shopping before malls. There was a HoJo out along the road and that was the cruisin' hot spot for the hot cars from all around the county. I was a kid, but I can still see those cars under those lights and the turquoise & orange HoJo all lit up
