Medium-duty Mack Has Big-truck Feel

摘要

In late summer of 2019,1 was on the way to a family gathering in Wisconsin when my car broke down on Interstate 69 in northeastern Indiana. The idler pulley popped loose, throwing the serpentine belt and leaving the engine ram-air cooled only. I pulled off at the next exit, parked, and called AAA. Sooner than I expected, up rolled a well-worn, bright-yellow early '90s International with a roll-back body, whose owner-driver quickly winched my 20-year-old Lincoln Continental aboard. Then he hauled the car and me into Auburn, where I sought repairs and holed up for the night. I went to Wisconsin and back with a rental car.
