To address your comment, you are absolutely correct. Which is why I recently made a comment about my first impressions on the 6th Gen Camaro. I had criticisms and was disappointed with GM at first. However all that changed when I heard about the ZL1. I never had that impression or had to come around to the Challenger. In fact a lot of us gave the 6th Gen a pass because we got a great deal, or the performance was unbelievable, or we just love Camaros. I was one of those. However there is no denying that the Challenger has much greater visibility. Except for one particular spot when look out towards the back. However that particular spot is shared across all three of the Pony Cars and it is just as bad in all of them. Those of us who have both or have owned both or have experience in both know better whereas some who don't know WTF they're talking about think foolishly. |

The Mack wasn't great either. Having 500 bags of bulk cement in the bulk truck was always a treat. I did like the RTO 9513, though. Who needs a clutch?

Reminds me of the Mack Tandem Grain trucks on the feedlot I worked on. 5 + 2 dual shifters, obviously huge grain box, and of course, clutch is only for Low or Reverse

The great thing about different people and vehicles is...different opinions, preferences, and experiences to share and compare.
I have a Mongoose 1963 Corvette Grand Sport. It's loud, rough, vibrates everything, hot inside, has no A/C or radio, and is purpose built for road course racing. I still take it out on the street once or twice a year. Lots of people don't like it - I couldn't care less. But for those who appreciate what the car represents, we often get into some good discussions about the history of the Grand Sports, and where I would like to see my car in the next few years.
