      Ms creek, I, as one, used to go with my mother whenever she had to drive the lumber truck to town and deliver the lumber to mill, My grandfather's sawmill. The truck had a six cylinder engine, one four speed transmission, and a two speed brownie transmission. I was four years old then, and I'm 78 years old now. I, myself thought you did rather well on the steering and such, little oversteer, but you just have to get used to it. What I thought was great was the fact that you did not hesitate to jump in and start driving. Kudos to and for you. Michael said that, bye for now girlfriend.

I needed my wife to pump the pedal. She said "I'm in my PJs". I told her "it's not a fashion show! and "you're sitting IN THE CAR!" Who's going to see you? Geez! Mrs Creek is a Champion in my book.

      Wouldn’t dare talk down to my wife. She’s been running a successful restaurant for several years.she’s smart and well educated. Now that I’m completely retired and disabled, l depend on her and my son to run the business and she does a better job of that than many people could.

      @@themajority5716 I just don't have time to make more videos. I'm running a more than full time business, my wife has a more than full time job, we have kids, mortgages, chores, etc just like everyone else. Typically, the one video I get out each week is at least 20 hours of work on top of doing the actual work that you see in the video. Two videos would be like having a second full time job plus all the time I spend on comments, emails, merch, etc related to the channel.

Whew!! That wife of yours is little "pistol"... as the ole saying goes... "dynamite, comes in small packages"!! lol..... and in her case, that's a compliment! Love how she just got right in there with you, and went for it..... She's Definitely Not a "prissy" like so many, these days! She's definitely a "Keeper"... you're a Blessed young man!! Enjoy and treasure her... and each other, and you'll have a long life together.
    Love your video's... subscribed about a year ago, with the first video of yours that I found and watched, and have "liked" all of them.
    PS: The very first truck I ever drove (as a present to me on my 13th birthday) was a big "A"Car (DC-9964 - OHNES.. special order), Cummins NH 250 (with the "back-drop" exh. manifold & dual straight pipes), with a double "over" 5x4. It was a dump truck, with an 18 yd (water level) body, plus 16" side boards for extra capacity.
    Always had a "special place" in my heart for the big square fender "A"Cars... and twin sticks, but my favorite power has Always been the 2 cycle Detroits, and have owned 3 semis with V12 power (modified) and "sticks".
