1. Buy the biggest, baddest American Muscle car I can afford (at that point, I should have a wide selection)
2. Get the biggest speeding ticket I can without losing my license just because I can.
3. Spend the rest of my savings paying off said ticket and spend the rest of my life as a ticked-off WalMart greeter trying to survive on part time minimum wage (with an awesome car I can't afford the insurance on).
4. Spend all my free time at truck stop coffe counters regaling rookie drivers with stories of my legend (either stolen from legitimate legends or made up on the fly) while I try to cadge free meals.
If you retire, what is the first thing you would want to do??

[QUOTE="semi" retired;4492146]Hi G, I've got to say, I think you are probably the most disgruntled driver here. Even more so than Disgruntled Driver, who I don't think is disgruntled at all. I think it's going to be a LONG 4 years for you. [/QUOTE]
3 years, 11 months, 345 days, 4 more Christmases, and a partridge in a pear tree.

When I came up with the title to this thread, my round about question was "what is the first thing you would do", but I left it off there and did not continue to say, "that will COST you your job NOW, if you did it NOW?
For instance, some have already said something along the lines of "lighting up a funny green cigarette".
That's what I was alluding to, "what would you do when you retire, that you cannot do now, and lose your job because of it"?
Being the consummate professionals that we are, we are always staying away from the vices that others take for granted. We stay out of trouble, we are polite (or try to be) to the motoring public, we stay away from the drugs, alcohol, and other vices that if we get caught, we certainly can lose our jobs and maybe even cause large lawsuits for our employers.
Now since I was some what ambiguous, and did not continue with a more precise question, many of you thought I meant for relaxing, picking up hobbies, etc.
And ONLY ONE had the very same thing in mind as me.
SHRED THAT CDL!!!!!!!
Cuz there ain't NO WORRIES to lose my job for doing it!!!!!!!!!!!
Human nature being what it is, so many looked at the question to mean what they thought retirement would be to them. But in their minds, they never saw the fear of losing a job because they thought nothing of being unprofessional in retiring. It's the professional side of us, that keeps us on the straight and narrow each and every day.
But what would anyone like to do when retired, that would NOT have them lose their job now, if they did something out of line now.?
examples are, would you like to go out and binge drink yourself drunk?
would you like to go to a crack house and get so high that you are flying?
would you go and get into your cars and hit over 150 mph and NOT worry about a speeding ticket?
would you go to a loading dock and knock over all the pallets of a company you delivered to and the dock workers there busted your chops each time?
What would be the first thing you would do, if you retired and wasn't going to lose your job over, (or your CDL) if you did it NOW as a WORKING CDL driver? -
