I rest my case..^^^^.lol in regards to the myth I spoke of above
ever think of what the highways would look like if there were only cars and trucks older than ,,say 1979 ? Then imagine what the shoulders of the highways would look like with all the break downs..,,I like my truck and love driving it but not all people can fix cars and trucks like us guys and gals ,therefore the newer computer cars are pretty darn nice ..and dependable
