I will check it out at the Mid-American truck show next month. I live outside of Louisville KY. When I worked at the KW/Volvo/GMC dealer we use to have to get the trucks ready for the show. It was a pain in the butt but it was pretty neat sometimes.

I will tell you what is cool is the Pride and Polish comp. There are some sharp trucks in that. Awesome paint jobs.

We do have alot of shows at the fair grounds every year. I will be going the National Farm Machinery truck and tractor pull next week. We have reserved seats. We have been sitting in the same seats for 20 years or so.

I'll take a T800 or a W900 KW or a 378/379 Pete over that any day. Easier to work on and not near as ugly.

I like the old peterbilts better myself, I just think the retro grill and fenders on the international looks good. It looks better than most the new style semis in my opinion.

I like the KW's also. There is one thing I don't like about a Pete. The clutch pedal. Where they pivot under the floor. I feel like my foot is trying to slide off the pedal when I push on the clutch. I wear a healed boot but it stills feel like that to me. It is all what you are used to.
