    I drive a BIG lifted F-250 and I can't stand driving it after I get out of my FL. The seats to low to the floor, I can't see anything in the mirrors, the steering wheel is WAY to small, the brakes work to fast and beleive it or not its slower at exellerating then my FL haha Granted it does have the 7.3 Powerstroke which are a little slow off the line. And I do everything you guys have listed in my pickup, it takes me a good 3 days to get used to the pickup again lol

    I hate going direct from the semi to my wife's Audi, feel like I'm going to scrap just going going over a manhole cover. But yes I do find myself doing things in the car that I woud normally do in the semi.

    My wife curses me for still looking for the tandems in the mirrors. Going through turns making them wide and square. Been off the road for a year and a half and I still feel the tug of the box back there.

    My biggest problem was in getting out of the tractor and then right into my pickup truck. Don't know how many times I've hit my head as I'm getting into that pickup.:biggrin_25513:

    How about when you park and reach over for the air brakes.
