I miss 100 mpg & lean burn. (Sniffle.)

Corvette Stingray! and I'm looking at the bottom of the grill!

If you build an extension to your 20' flatbed so that you can haul two more soy bags (about 4' cubed) on the back instead of simply starting another row on top... because it's more aero that way.
