    Wait till you have been driving for a year or two. You'll randomly get thoughts in your head like... "Wow... I'm driving this big Mother F... down the road." "This is really happening." etc.... Cool stuff really.

    Actually overheard stuff like that when trainees were talking on the cell phone...

    "Oh yeah, I'm using the Jake Brake and everything!"

    The first day back in my cobalt after a week out, I looked for the Jake brake when going down a hill on the way home. It was a doh moment.
