You know, I have a picture of me with about the same expression from when I drove a Crown School Bus for the first time.
I feel cheated. I've never sat in the driver's seat of your Mack. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' />
Keep the pictures coming, Mr. Lindsay!

I guess if I could keep you from going over every square inch of the ALFS when you visit, perhaps a picture of you behind the wheel of a Mack would be possible. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' />
