Regarding the Eicher--if I read that right, they have a truck with a 29000lb GVWR with a 114 horse, 295 ft/lb 4 cylinder engine?

Might not sell here. We have been convinced to the point where this statement brings no critical comment:

"240 horsepower and 420 ft lbs of TQ isn't going to be the engine of choice for power or towing."

If course he's talking pickups, where you need the extra power.....

I wish I had half his skills. Would have been great to be his apprentice during that build.

Yeah, it's kinda the end of a run of award shows that starts in early Jan. and doesn't stop till now.
Good for the wallet but, it's blood money.
Just means more parts for the trucks.

I can think of worse things than looking at Charlize Theron

Shirley Bassey blew me away. Still got a pretty good set of pipes @ 76.

Yeah, she blew us away all week.
Amazing at 76.

Charlize had to rehearse all week so she was there a lot.
She is a spectacular looking woman. And nice.

Hey Marc long time no post. Good to hear you are able to get a break from all those award shows. All work and no play makes for a dull boy they say.

I'm guessing an induced sense of humor by the camera crew would be frown'd upon...
