HEHE you can take that two ways. It's good if it's being towed by a bus or bad if it's being towed by a tow truck.
The fact that that FORD still builds them they must be ok but I would never consider one myself.

OT Crabby Milton but I see your Cummins stock is going to take a hit with the $200 million recall on engines  >:(

RATS!! First I've heard of that so stop trying to make me feel better.
Seriously though, they ought to know better and my concern is how this will effect fire departments if they mandate that they take their rigs out of service for this.
Bus fleets can be handled one by one in a large enough fleet but some smaller FD's may have some problems with this.

Cummins handled it right though recall before the EPA stepped in and levied huge fines,$200 mil beats a billions in fines

Good point anything better than the feds.
Nobody likes dirty exhaust and if it's designed right, there's no reason why it can't run clean.
But we all have to play by the same rules. At least the engine can still run unlike the MAXXFORCE(NAVISTAR) disaster a few years ago.
Clean exhaust is good so that FORD FIESTA will stay clean. :)

Nothing like the rich hearty aroma of diesel early in the morning. 

B'sides Clifford, you know, clean air smells funny!

Sending our very best is the least we can do Jack.  Humor often will ease the pain somewhat, it won't make it go completely away, but it will some times take off the edge a little.  By the way, that BOTN thing really had me doing some serious head scratching but I finally got it.

Gotta run ... Dr. Phil is coming on!
