Amen,Amen! Words well spoken by all on this E-mail! Why endanger yourself
and others by driving something this big and not knowing everything about
them? I would not even dream of driving a Duce with out training. Find a
friend in the National Guard and IF he drives one of these beasts, Have him
show you the ropes.
This is not just aimed at just one person, BUT anyone thinking of buying
one of these big green machines.
