Does your 4 wheel vehicle ever go back to feeling like "normal size" again?

    The main thing that gets me is I wait for such a big gap in traffic to pull out. Also on a 4 lane road I forget all I need is the inside lane to pull out when I'm in my pickup. My wife gets frustrated with me sometimes because of that lol.

    Sure, until you drive up to the weigh station in your pickup truck. :biggrin_25523:

    Haha, same here. Also, when me & Mrs Skillet would take a vacation road trip, every time I'd pull into a rest area, she'd remind me, "You're not in a truck", otherwise I'd pull the car into the truck parking area.

    She'd also bust my chops by making jake brake noises in the deceleration lane......"BRRRRRRG....BRRRrrrrg....brrrrrrrg..."

    Same, left my trainers truck and hopped into my Tacoma, felt like a hermit crab without a shell.

    Yes, it does. When I started driving OTR I had not owned a 4 wheeler in several years. I bought a small car and parked it at the terminal.

    When I took hometime after being on the road for a couple of months and hopped in my car, it was very strange. Now that I have done this process a few times, the car feels totally normal.
