[AT] tractor hauling truck

[Cecil Bearden]

I have one of those old White trucks.  The guy in the middle would have 
to sit on the engine doghouse though.   The real problem with the truck 
is the air brake pods would drag when in soft ground.
We tried to make a hay truck out of it.  It had a 400 ci Diamond Reo 
6cyl engine  Original threw a rod, and I found one in a st eel yard in 
Tulsa.  It only used a quart of oil every 50 miles.  It was great when 
the mosquitoes were biting.

They've even made brochures with the slogan "Small on the outside, big on the inside". Problem is that fitta in swedish means cunt. All scandinavians and many people in northern Europe knows that. I think you all can imagine how many funny "car tests" that were made from that... I was takin' the .... for a ride. It was a pleasant... etc.

They built 1000 and leased them so they could get them all back. It was a giant engineering experiment that I found brilliant.   But a whole bunch of environmentalists who didn't grasp that concept hate GM to this day because they couldn't keep their EV-1.  I guess they didn't read the fine print.
