Yeah, I know 'talking rigs' is what many 'campers' in motorhomes do...And I
know "Mom" loves her Corian counter top, but she hates the fact that her
washer and dryer will only hold half a real load and that the motorhome only
has 3 pop-outs, not four...but I must be in the place where there IS some
disconnect from driver to vehicle because I can hear them for at least a
couple of miles as they pass by on a quiet night....Some of them must have
nervous leg syndrom because I hear the "Swooosh....Roarrrrr" as they mash
the pedal, then they let right off, then "flushhhhhh!" as they dump another
gallon of diesel into the big Cat...and then..."quiet" again....all  the way
past...  And not just every now and again.....most of the big ones sound
like that, between shifts.."Throttle contron" must be left right out of the
operator's manual..
  A surprising number of owners of the big ones have air horns mounted,
too..and they like to say "Bye bye" to all their pals as they head out with
a couple of long blasts on those... Cute.
