That's right, can't walk around the midwest wearing nothing but budgie smugglers and eating giant turkey legs.
That's just wrong!

Alan, if your in Kansas City on Ambassador Drive. You aren't very far from the American Truck Historical Society headquarters. It is well worth the visit. From the exit where the Cracker Barrel is located go back across I 29 and go north on Ambassador Dr. and be looking to your left back toward I 29 and you will see it, It is probably less than a quarter mile from the exit at the Cracker barrel. When you visit be sure and tell them that the regional vice president from Texas Michelle Cole sent you by. There is a lot to see in there and probably the largest collection of information on the history of the trucking industry and trucks built in the USA and Canada in the world

i drive by there everyday and have never been inside. they change the truck out front every couple of months too. right now it's some kind of autocar or something offbeat like that. can't really tell from the highway.
