Bill - I just picked up my '98 Volvo on Saturday. I'd never driven a big truck. Bought it from onezman (Larry Zeigler) and he gave me a couple hours of lessons; but it was starting to sleet and snow so I headed home before "graduating" from gear-shifting school. Had no problem keeping it between the grader ditches; but man I couldn't hit a gear to save my sould. Humbling to say the least. I'll be spending a lot of time in parking lots until I get some experience going up and down the gears. My neighbors about (you-know-what) when I pulled that big red truck into the driveway. I've nick-named it already (trucks have names here in Missouri). I'm calling it Bart. Bart stand for Big As* Red Truck. Later - Joe
