    I would love to drive a classic truck. But with some modern touches like air ride, and cab air bags not solid, that would make it ride like a modern truck in my humble opinion.

    I got a hold of a chain drive once. It was in a steam up days where a acre was allocated for it to do a circle or a figure 8. Mack open cab chain drive.

    Let me tell you something about those steering wheels. The rim on the outside is like three inches thick or close to it. And you needed a real man with a barrel chest to do some steering with those things the way we do sometimes getting into tight places.

    I had maybe 4 minutes with it. And I came off there ready for a break. And I was at the time a actual trucker with the Class A driving short Macks with no power steering.

    You can almost feel the ghosts of the people who worked on that mid to late 20's mack reaching towards the more modern 60's era macks I was assigned in my day back when.

    Dude you NEED more then 5 hrs of sleep a night. You saying your set is comparable to someone who finished a 6 pack and thinks their good to drive. People around them know they aren’t but they can’t see through their impairment usually.

    Lack of sleep is a huge contributor to Alzheimer’s, diabetes, obesity, mental disorders, cancer..... the list goes on. Your body requires 7hrs to work as it should

    Admit it. Yer thinking about the benefits.

    Many people have multiple personalities, or can fake it. Why not put those other lazy freeloaders in yer head to work?
