Default Another sign that I live in the rural midwest

Had to make a run to the hardware store. It was sunny and mid 50's, so I wasn't to upset about having to run errands as I was taking the S with the top down. Found the leftover change that I had left in the little console pocket and decided to swing through the drivethru for a drink. I pull up to the drivethru and what sort of car is in front of me? Not a car at all, a large New Holland tractor. Not in the parking lot, but actually in line with everyone else. Got a little laugh out of that. I could have rear ended him at 20 mph and I doubt the operator would have even known

I can relate. There are many FTM (farm to market roads) here in N. Texas. Most are posted @ 70 mph. Nothing like coming around a blind turn and seeing a John Deere hay wagon going 15 mph.

The second Porsche I ever drove was a tractor.
