Yesterday I sent my daughter Pantera, a link to this awesome video. We both drive Volvos.



Today she sends me this link. This also deserves to go viral.

I've driven Volvo's, It's like sitting in Luxury ...
Very nice to drive, super smooth gears. I really liked driving these trucks.

Expand how ?
Volvo just makes a nice truck, the driver's area is unlike
Mac or KW's , they are like driving in your easy chair, no strain, fully customizable.
A real pleasure to operate. At least that's my experience with em ...
I mean ... holy crap look at this thing ..... Look at the mini shifter !!

Actually Volvo have a really nice steering ratio, power assisted.
Backing up is pretty easy. oh and the average trailer only has 8 wheels David.
It's the tractor on average that has the other 10 wheels ....
Look .....

Hey, maybe I could buy one of these and then set up a studio inside the trailer
and have you go on the road !! .... The Marsden Theater Road Show !

I have a mild dyslexia. With that the opposite left to right movement required with an attached trailer would send me into a major panic. Wouldn't that be cool. A trailer and doing the show from a different location every week. A moveable feast of music. :o :o

Wow- looks like the interior of a car. Nothing like the Freightliner I used to occasionally drive.
