      Not even a Series owner, but you're preaching to the choir.

          When your passenger keeps saying "What was that noise?"
          And you keep saying "Huh, I can't hear you?"

                When you have to turn your wipers off because one of them got all our of wack.

                Oh and your Rain-X is behind the seat, easy to get ahold of.

                  my brother is often my co-driver, he uses the app "waze", good for notifying driver of speed traps, "hey Rob, there's a cop coming up, make sure you're going at least 45!"

                    You know you are driving a series truck when, you take off from a stop at a stop light and it sounds like someone fired a 38 in the back of the truck, then trucky no drivy.

                      You know you're driving a Series truck when flipping on the heater switch is a request not a command.

                          You know your driving a series when you pack 2 jerry cans one for 5 gallons of gas and the other one is 5 gallons of engine oil......... You know your driving a series when your passenger asks whats that noise ....and with a puzzled reply you ask witch one????......... You know your driving a series when after you stop and the smoke clears you realise the only thing that has made it this far is you and a moose....................................Keep on trucking!

                            YOu head for the national rally, only 300 miles away and it takes four days only to turn around 50 miles short. You drive home and break down for the fifth time 14 miles from your destination and get towed back. Again!
