<p>[quote user="SALfan"]GOOD LORD HAVE MERCY!!! Somebody must have broken about 468 ugly sticks on that beast. Compared to that thing, a 1958 Packard looked like Marilyn Monroe . . . naked. The old style U.S. military trucks ("deuce-and-a-halfs") look like the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders compared to the thing. HOWEVER - - - I would like to be the spring salesman servicing that account; even with a small commission on each spring sold, if a respectable number of those monsters were made, one could retire rich.[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">Road switchers are supposed to have that burly, no-nonsense look of functionality; completely opposite the innocent, wimpy look of passenger engines. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Aesthetically, you would have to admit that our modern safety cabs are nothing to write home about. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">No, I think the TEM14 is way out front on this. But the critics will have to grow into accepting them. It’s like that with anything that is truly revolutionary. </span></p>
