A real man who's secure in who he is doesn't care if it's a pink lighter.LOL but still I would have bought another one
It's the guy making a big deal out of it that I'd question..

Not a fruit
Heh, I'm straight, but I hung out at the Gay/Lez/Tranz/Bi club rooms at Uni because they had the best coffee on campus.
Sure, I had to brush off a few attempted pickups by guys, but the coffee was worth it.
Plus I got picked up by a pair of Bi/Lez chicks who wanted a little spice in their relationship!
What's the fuss about pink lighters?

I will never for the life of me figure out Volvo's logic using the eco roll feature
. it's just makes no sense to me to roll down a in idle mode with your foot off the accelerator. then having to step back down on the accelerator when going back up a hill. really how much fuel are you saving

780. The bigger one with the black side windows at bunk height on the sleeper. There's a pic in the article.ok so was it a 670 or a 780
ok I would never waist my money on a 670 since price wise there the same cost just about.

There's a night & day difference in the handling & maneuverability between those two models though.
The shorter 670, unless it's one of the years when they tried that stupid air-ride steer axle thing, handles well and has a reasonably tight turning radius.
The 780's have a ridiculous amount of body roll. I've driven them when they were brand new. Just backing one out of the company's shop, idling in reverse, as soon as I cut the wheel outside the building I could feel the entire one-piece cab and sleeper lean to the side.
And the 780's U-turn radius of the bobtail is about the same as with a trailer attached. Even the guy at the Schwan's depot in Chester, VA who doesn't drive trucks, was surprised when he looked at my left steer after I told him it was already cut as far as it would go and he could hear the power steering pump burdened when I held it against the stops.
For a company based in Sweden, that builds trucks for those tight European roads, it's really surprising.
I seen the pic
. I have always loved the 780 and all the room it has inside of it. I love the idea of the work station also even though it's an option 
. and they do ride nice to

A Volvo 780 is a nice truck to live in.I seen the pic
Just not so great to drive.
completely agree. or a truck with an ari sleeper but I can only see a large car like that used in heavy haul applications because of permits and crap. I remember I mounted my keurig machine to the workstation with some doubled tape so I wouldn't get hit in the head if I had to break hard
. I mounted a 32 inch tv on the closet in the bunk on the passengers side had a kvh directv antenna out back for satellite t.v.. you can live good in a 780 
. though i'm looking forward to taking a trip to vegas and putting my foot in the floor and seeing what she's got. though I am impressed with the way she shifts gears

Did you mean to say DD13? I don't think they have a "DT" and don't think they have a 12 liter.

I don't know much about the Detroits but @Mike just ran a DD-something for a year with no emissions problems. I think he had the DD13.
it seems that the DD13 is a popular choice

Well no wonder I couldn't figure out what he was talking about.
Mike may have experience with that trans as well, if it's their only auto-shift. He pulled tankers with an autoshift & the truck was a Cascadia so it had a Detroit engine, ... just not sure about the trans. I sent him a text but he ain't replied yet.
Maybe he's busy doing that thing where you lie down in bed with your eyes closed, ... I forgot what that's called.
you silly duck you. you don't know how to use googleWell no wonder I couldn't figure out what he was talking about.
