I got in the camaro leaving work and went to back out of the parking spot and I picked both hands up and was feeling around for the two joysticks

LMAO!!

I did that after driving one of these for a while..... kept trying to steer the opposite way in reverse... in the camaro.... these things are crazy to backup..... once you got the hang of it, I could fly in reverse down narrow dirt roads........ those tires are as tall as I am, and the driver's seat is about 15' off the ground

NO SHIT? I know those machines are big $$$$ but I wouldn't have guessed the tires were that much. That's insane!!

[helmincamaro]

this is basically how the dash is..... ours was newer, had digital readouts, A/C radio and everything





turning the steering wheel while sitting still will freak you out the first few times..... the front wheels don't really steer.... the body articulates, so when you turn the wheel, the entire cab of the truck swings around and it feels like your tipping over.... even though you aren't

Sounds pretty cool. I've watched them work, but never been in the cabin of one. I have been inside one of these, but never operated it.

I've driven a ZR1, Audi R8, ferraris, Porsche 911s, vipers and a whole lot more....... and that truck cost more than all of them combined..... those trucks hold 97 gallons of diesel.... reason I remember that is, the only way we could fuel it was to fill up a 35 gallon tank on the back of a pickup.... then pump it BY HAND into the truck...... I would have loved to pull up to the gas station in that big ol truck and yell "FILLER UP!"
