“big rig expo”



IMG_0609, originally uploaded by kurt.grote.

hello everyone, i hope all is well with all of you! as you can tell from my picture my truck is pretty dirty. i did this on purpose to show how well the truck actually cleans up! i went or the truck was at big rig expo over the weekend. even tho it was a little slow i had a great time. met some great vendors with some good products. i will be talking about these products in the future. i also had the chance to reconnect with old friends. the truck looked good after the bath. i was even awarded the third place prize in the truck competition or i should say the cascadia received the third place award. that is one thing i must say about the paint on this truck not only in the pictures that were taken in dallas, but at this truck show also the paint has really held up. after 165000 miles i’m impressed! i would like to take this time to thank all the people that made the big rig expo possible and also to the judges that gave me this third place finish! lastly i hope all of you have or will register for the fourth driver of the cascadia! until the next truck stop be safe!
