especially since a new Kenworth W900 is about $150K i bet. my cousin was a truck driver and he said he knew a guy that bought his own semi. the price was roughly around that and the payments are $2500 a month. thats ridiculous. even though they might make that in one week anyway In order from expensive to least expensive truck companies are as followed Kenworth/Peterbilt are the same company so they hold the first two spots Volvo is less expensive than a Kenworth and Peterbilt Mack International Freightliner would be your cheapest since there are more Freightliner's on the road than any other truck brand

They only allow you to service their trucks at the dealership. Truck dealerships have very inconvenient hours. Walmart once had Volvo trucks in their fleet and they got rid of them because they weren't allowed to service them at Walmart Transportation offices

There is this Kenworth Dealership we pass every year when we go to NJ on our vacation that has a huge barbed wire chain link fence around the property. Apparently people steal the CB radios and Wheels off the trucks. My Neighbor used to work for Mack Trucks and he told me they put the Bulldog Hood Ornaments and CB radio's on last since people used to steal them

Supreme Cross I found out that the 1954 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Vignale sold for $198,000 at an auction back in August 2014. The Car is unique for having a toilet in the backseat that was used for an ice bucket.

I'd love to have that old '74 Kenny. Modern semis are just too complicated for their own good.
The semi we have at work for hauling equipment is a 20 year old freightliner with an Eaton Fuller 9-speed in it. I like driving it but on the long hauls it feels like the cab's gonna shake right off the frame.

too bad they dont make them anymore though I know. They stopped making them in 2004. The 2004 Oldsmobile Alero Final 500 Edition was the last car ever made by Oldsmobile.

Alero's werent that great of cars anyway IMO. my gf had a 02 Alero and it wasnt that great. she got rid of it and got a blazer which is 100x better then that car was
