i think a guy can get lucky sometimes too: my 35' w/ford V10 must've been made on a Wed. The guy with the class C w/V10 that couldn't keep up? Gearing out @ 84? I don't know how fast i can go, i back out @ 90.
I drove ready mix trucks in a past life so i've dealt with a diesel most of my life. I chose not to take the ding for the diesel power, and i don't miss it. I do miss air brakes. I don't miss fuel gelling, water seperators freezing. There was a time when gas engines didn't have electronic fuel injection. There was a time when diesel's didn't have electronic controllers. There's never been a better time to pick either one. No matter what your fuel, these new engines run cleaner and less trouble. You can bet i wouldn't have owned a coach with a carburator. Heck, nowadays diesels don't regularly consume oil either. Let's argue something easy like 5ers vs. Class A MHs. :)
