Why didn't I think of that! I was actually bugging a friend to go look at it. He's a contractor with a pretty long last name, so I thought he ought to buy it just so he could fit his name on the side. But, while he dug the pics, like a lot of people in that business right now, he's looking for 2 quarters to rub together.

I just stay back and keep it in first and the truck just slowly moves along.. If you try that with an auto it will pickup speed and then you need to ride the brake.
When traffic is stopped just put it in neutral.. Really not tiring, but I guess if it was an everyday thing then maybe..
