I have observed a workhorse UFO (Painted on side of Unit) in the parking lot opposite my window here at work. I was curious as to why it might be there in the Navistar headquarters(?) parking lot. This is the second time I have seen it so I know it is not my imagination.

I assume they are talking about future drive train componentry????? Anybody know any facts? It makes me want to stop by and take a closer look at a real UFO

Cheers,

Hey, that's a nice coach. I should know. If you want to see one like it, mine will be at the Rally at least that's the plan.

Next time I see it I will see if I can get a test drive then.

And Driver, you are correct it is a La Palma

Workhorse is one of the companies Navistar owns.
