Laura E. Swan December 03, 2009
I would have been here sooner but I was hiding in the back of the truck parked adjacent to it. I had to be sure there were no keys in the ignition of the corn sucker. I have heard they can start up with no driver and...well...you don't want to know...(Okay, okay! They can vacuum up human beings for breakfast).
Now having that said, this is a terrific image here, Michelle, and very intimidating indeed!
I love the special FX! <--- HA! (lol!) ;)

Michelle- I have seen those coming down the highway back home in Wisconsin and I tell ya, it does make you really pay attention to your driving. It is a freightening sight. The colors really jumped out and grabbed me. That was before I even opened it up. Then when I did it was wow, look at all the stunning details and lines.
Gorgeous work my friend.
Have a most wonderful day, do take care, enjoy. #8189689
