I think I'm going truck hunting after work today.
LOL, I use to do the same thing years ago ('92...?). Ironically it's with the same commuter/beater I use today to commute to cambridge once more. I use to catch a draft from buses going over Mass.Ave bridge from Boston to Cambridge. The ride was a good 400meters and I'd come off the bridge with full head of steam. I tried the same thing this past Summer, but the new buses are quite a bit faster and turbocharged so it was harder to hold on so I pulled up, plus I was leaving my older brother waaaay behind
