. . . Diesels are a lot like our campers, a luxury. It costs more but the pleasure it brings is worth it.
We were on a long, long grade out of Yakima heading towards Ellensburg, WA.
It was a two lane highway with a construction sign reading: "Lane closure ahead".
Road cones dotted the left road border. Far ahead was a huge produce truck creeping along at 15 mph.
I leaned into the pedal, caught up to the truck and flew past it just before the road cones pinched to one lane.
Wife looks over at me and says "That's what we paid for!"
